Rooted in Nature: The Healing Power of Herbal-Infused Oils

In every bottle of Root & Sol’s herbal-infused oils, there’s more than just moisture—there’s medicine. Rooted in ancient traditions and backed by modern insight, these oils bring together the wisdom of herbs and the nourishment of plant-based oils to create skincare that goes deeper than the surface.

So, what exactly are herbal-infused oils—and why should you be using them?

What Are Herbal-Infused Oils?

Herbal-infused oils are made by slowly steeping dried herbs in carrier oils (like jojoba, olive, or sunflower oil) to extract the plant’s healing constituents. The result is a richly therapeutic oil that carries the active benefits of both the herb and the base oil.

Unlike essential oils, which are highly concentrated and require careful dilution, herbal-infused oils are gentle enough for daily use, even on sensitive skin.

 

Top Benefits of Herbal-Infused Oils

🌿 1. Nutrient-Rich Moisture

Carrier oils already contain vitamins, fatty acids, and antioxidants. When infused with herbs like calendula, chamomile, or comfrey, they become even more nourishing—helping to soften, soothe, and hydrate skin naturally.

🩹 2. Skin Healing + Barrier Support

Herbs like plantain, neem, and dandelion root are known for their anti-inflammatory and wound-healing properties. Infused oils can help:

  • Calm eczema and dermatitis

  • Fade scars and stretch marks

  • Relieve dry, itchy, or inflamed skin

🧘🏽‍♀️ 3. Whole-Body Wellness

Many herbs have actions that support more than just the skin. For example:

  • Calendula supports lymphatic flow

  • St. John’s Wort calms nerve pain

  • Lavender encourages relaxation and sleep

Using these oils as part of your body care routine creates a grounding, restorative self-care ritual.

👶🏽 4. Safe for Sensitive & Delicate Skin

Because they are less intense than essential oils, herbal-infused oils are often safe for children, pregnant people, and those with skin sensitivities—especially when made with gentle herbs and unrefined oils.

💛 5. Versatile & Multipurpose

You can use them as:

  • Daily body oil

  • Facial moisturizer

  • Massage oil

  • Hair and scalp treatment

  • Base for body butters or balms

They absorb beautifully and don’t clog pores when formulated with skin-friendly oils like jojoba or grapeseed.

Why Root & Sol Herbal Oils Are Different

We craft our oils the slow way—with time, care, and intention. Our herbs are solar- or double-infused over several weeks to ensure maximum potency. We never rush the process, and we only use:

  • Certified organic or wildcrafted herbs

  • Unrefined, cold-pressed oils

  • No synthetic preservatives or additives

Each batch is a celebration of whole-body wellness, bottled and ready to nourish your skin, soothe your spirit, and reconnect you to the Earth.

Your skin deserves more than hydration. It deserves healing. Root yourself in ritual with our herbal-infused oils.
