$46.00
Shimmer Botanical Oil is a decadent, silky, deeply hydrating skin oil with the summer shimmer & warm aromatics of Vanilla or Sweet-grass.
100% plant & mineral ~ AND zero endocrine disrupting chemicals.
I've taken the time to beautifully infuse fresh Sweet-grass into the 2 BEST botanical base oils - premium skin loving Plum kernel & Apricot kernel oils for this moisture giving formula carefully chosen especially to feed & replenish skin after furnace driven dry winter indoor air.
Shimmer Botanical Oil is lovely applied to the high points of the body that naturally catch light, such as the collarbones, shoulders, décolletage, shins, and the center of arms. For maximum effect, apply to clean, skin ~ preferably while slightly damp, after bathing to enhance hydration barrier and ensure an even, radiant glow - a subtle veil of shimmer.
Plum Kernel is RICH in Omega-6, Omega-9, and Vitamin E (Vitamin E helps restore skin's elasticity and smoothness) it acts as a fast-absorbing, non-greasy emollient suitable for all skin types, including sensitive or acne-prone skin. It provides deep hydration, strengthens the skin barrier, and offers antioxidant protection against environmental stressors. Its non-comedogenic (pore-safe) nature makes it nurturing to all skin types but especially enhancing mature 30+ skin. Contains high levels of oleic and linoleic acids. Stillroom Plum kernel oil is cold pressed, virgin oil extracted from the seeds or kernels of French Ente plums.
Apricot kernel oil is a lightweight, fast-absorbing, and non-greasy natural oil rich in essential fatty acids (oleic, linoleic) and vitamins A and E. It deeply moisturizes, softens, and protects all skin types—especially dry, mature, or sensitive skin—while soothing inflammation, reducing the appearance of crepey skin tendencies.
Apricot kernel oil provides intense skin hydration & nourishment: As an emollient, it reinforces the skin’s moisture barrier, preventing moisture loss and leaving skin soft, smooth, and supple. It is highly effective for dry, flaky, or sensitive skin. It absorbs quickly into the skin without leaving a heavy, greasy film. Apricot kernel oil is a potent anti-aging ingredient, known for its ability to improve the skin's elasticity.

Research-Studies-Cultural-Ancestral Use
Plum kernel oil (Prunus domestica) is a highly moisturizing, fast-absorbing, and non-comedogenic ingredient packed with antioxidant-rich Vitamin E, Vitamin A, and fatty acids like omega-6 and 9. Research shows it boosts skin hydration, supports the barrier, and provides 6–8 times more antioxidant power than argan oil to nurture aging skin.
Studies indicate plum oil has 6 times the antioxidant power of marula oil and 8 times that of argan oil, making it highly effective at neutralizing free radicals and protecting against environmental damage.
What Are the Benefits of Plum Kernel Oil?
Plum oil is full of nutrients that when applied topically can really enhance your skin. Here is the breakdown:
-
Vitamin A: “This promotes healing and cell turnover,” which can help improve wrinkles and skin elasticity, says Joshua Zeichner, M.D., an associate professor of dermatology at Mount Sinai Hospital in New York City.
-
Vitamin C: Helps repair cells and reduce hyperpigmentation. The kakadu plum, the most commonly used plum variety in skincare, is particularly rich in vitamin C.
-
Vitamin E: Helps heal and repair damaged skin.
-
Omega fatty acids 6 and 9: Hydrates skin.
-
Oleic acid: “Helps to regulate sebum production, and it's also noncomedogenic, so it's safe and potentially helpful for oily skin,” says Hadley King, M.D., a board-certified dermatologist practicing in New York City.
-
Linoleic acid: Encourages skin cell turnover and works to prevent clogged pores.
-
Polyphenols: Provides anti-inflammatory benefits and helps protect the skin from sun and pollution damage.
-
Antioxidants: Helps with the production of elastin and collagen. “Plum oil can help protect and calm the skin. The antioxidants help neutralize free radical damage to protect the skin from UV light and encourage healthy collagen production,” says Dr. Zeichner.
