St. John's Wort Infused Olive Oil

Hypericum perforatum

St. John's Wort Infused Olive Oil is made by steeping Hypericum perforatum in olive oil until the oil takes on the character of the plant. Every batch we have logged, going back to 2017, has come from wildcrafted plants harvested in the USA.

Infused oils like this one are lovely to work with on their own or as the base of a blend. St. John's Wort is known for being anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and skin regenerative, and it has a long history of use as a gentle tonic. It is also valued for its uplifting quality, which is part of why so many people reach for it as a carrier in blends meant to soothe and comfort. Kept cool and closed, it holds up for about three years.

Every batch we bring in is logged on this page with its origin and best-by date, and certificates of analysis are available to download where we have them.

Shelf life: 3 years
Safety: Hypericin (in St. John's Wort) has been associated with photosensitivity when taken orally, but there have not been any studies suggesting there might be a photosensitivity reaction when used on the skin. There could be increased photosensitizing properties when applied to lesional skin and in fair-skinned individuals after extended time in the sun. There are warnings to avoid taking St. John's Wort internally, if on blood thinners. Although, there is no scientific evidence contraindicative to using St. John's Wort Infused Oil topically. Topically, the dose is a fraction of an internal dose and absorption is much different. When applying topically it is per your own discretion. If you notice any "bruise-like" areas developing when using it, then we would discontinue topical use. Use with caution on animals as it could cause a phytotoxic reaction.
