Cedar & Patchouli Sculpting Oil

Cellulite — also known as adiposis edematosa or “orange peel skin” — is caused by an uneven distribution of adipose tissue, water and metabolic waste, combined with oedematous and fibrous changes within the subcutaneous layer. For many women, the dimpled, textured appearance that most often occurs on the thighs, buttocks and abdomen can be a source of frustration and insecurity.

While there is no miracle cure that eliminates cellulite entirely, aromatherapy and essential oils offer a natural, supportive approach to improving the look and feel of cellulite-affected areas. When combined with a regular massage routine and complementary methods such as dry brushing, they can help smooth the skin, improve tone, and visibly soften the appearance of uneven or sagging areas.

Used daily after a bath or shower, this nourishing blend helps combat dryness, dehydration and environmental damage throughout both summer and winter. Versatile and deeply moisturizing, it can be applied from head to toe as a body oil, massage oil, facial massage treatment, or even a revitalizing scalp oil.

Sweet almond oil is obtained by cold pressing, pale yellow in colour, slightly vicious and very oily. Contains Vitamins A, B1, B2, B6 and E, unsaturated fatty acids, proteins and minerals such as: iron, magnesium, manganese, phosphorus, potassium, sodium and zinc. Vitamins A and E are included in the “vitamins of youth”, which positively affect the firmness and elasticity of the skin, delaying the aging process. Sweet almond oil is a great emollient that prevents dehydration of skin cells, which is why it moisturizes the skin.

Avocado oil has strong smoothing and regenerating properties. Rebuilds the protective lipid layer, protects against excessive moisture loss, and stimulates collagen synthesis. So I could not ignore it in the choice of ingredients.

Jojoba wax oil consists mainly of saturated and unsaturated alcohols and fatty acids. Jojoba oil contains a lot of vitamin A, which supports the natural functioning of the skin, vitamin E, which accelerates skin regeneration and slows down the aging process, vitamin F, which immunostimulates the skin and the whole body. Jojoba oil is similar to sebum secreted by human skin.

Essential oils that help to fight cellulite stimulate the circulation of blood and lymph, help to remove excess water and toxins from the body.

Fennel sweet oil has a very nice anise smell and calming effect on the nervous system. Used for skin care – cleanses and tones the skin, especially matte, greasy or wrinkled.

Patchouli essential oil has bactericidal, fungicidal, anti-inflammatory and regenerating properties. Prevents the retention of water in the body, which is why it is recommended as an additive to anti-cellulite cosmetics. It also has properties that accelerate wound healing and minimize scar formation. By increasing the circulation, it also increases the oxygenation of organs and cells throughout the body, increasing their functionality and boosting metabolism. Acts as an aphrodisiac. Patchouli oil due to its intense activity and smell should be used in small amounts.

Cedarwood Atlas essential oil is beneficial for female physiology as it stimulates blood flow.
