It’s Kaylein here at the North Woods Farm💕 I’ve been working and testing out a new product formula that I have created for a few months now and I’m ready to release it for everyone else to enjoy now too because I absolutely love it and it has been helping me so much!
Simply put, this is a body oil, but I will tell you why it’s so much more special than that. 
Originally, this was just something I crafted for myself. For consistent daily hydration that I can apply to all areas of my body, my skin seems to prefer avocado oil. Im a very minimalist kind of person, so I like the things I use to have more than one purpose. So, considering I also have slight lymphedema around my thighs causing cellulite (if you also struggle with this I highly suggest loving on your lymphatic system! And if you aren’t sure where to start, we have a kit for that!) as well as having a fair amount of stretch marks. I and my skin were very dehydrated during my pregnancy with my daughter, this wreaked havoc on my skin as my belly grew, my stretch marks in some areas are very deep… so I wanted to use herbs that could help repair some of the damage here and even if it didn’t miraculously take them away, just something to strengthen the paper thin skin within the stretched areas. This is where I’ve turned to Seabuckthorn! Used as a traditional skin ailment for centuries, it is rich in unsaturated fat, antioxidants, phytosterols, carotenoids, and vitamins E and K. As we know, all of these things function together to protect your skins integrity and also promote its renewal! (Seabuckthorn also being helpful to protect the skin from the damaging affects of UV rays from the sun, which is why you will also find it in our thoughtfully crafted herbal sunscreen!) there is actually much more to be said about Seabuckthorn, it truly is a powerhouse of an herb! But for this post, we’ll leave it here💕
I didn’t want to stop here, as I went downstate to visit family a while back, I noticed a beautiful evergreen PACKED with heaps and heaps of beautiful purple/blue juniper berries! This is what initially sparked my desire to craft something beautiful! I stole a tiny branch and it rode on my dash all the way back up to the beautiful North Woods as I pondered where to go with my ideas! I chose juniper berries because they too are packed with antioxidants working to repair and strengthen the epidermis. With this added strength, your skin is better able to defend itself against free radicals (impurities) that can damage the skin. Furthermore, it is known to boost circulation in the sebaceous layer of the skin helping dissolve fat…. If you haven’t guessed yet, this made it a phenomenal ally in supporting the cellulite appearance that comes from me being a human being in general but also the stagnant lymph that is, lymphedema in my legs.
