Beauty by Earth Balance + Restore Luxury Face Oil
Important note on facial oils
Facial oils are designed to nourish the skin and support the skin barrier by delivering lipid-based moisture. Unlike water-based moisturizers, oils help seal in hydration while delivering plant oils and antioxidants that support overall skin health.
When I evaluate facial oils like this, I look for formulas that rely on well-sourced plant oils rather than unnecessary fillers.
I also pay close attention to the ingredient list and avoid formulas that contain:
• undisclosed fragrance or parfum
• PEG compounds or ethoxylated ingredients
• petroleum-derived fillers such as mineral oil or dimethicone
• harsh preservative systems
Product description
Beauty by Earth Balance + Restore Luxury Face Oil is a plant-based facial oil designed to help nourish the skin and support moisture balance.
The formula combines organic plant oils, including sunflower seed oil, jojoba oil, argan oil, and rosehip seed oil, to help soften the skin while supporting the skin barrier.
Botanical extracts such as gotu kola, green tea, white tea, eyebright, and rosemary contribute antioxidant compounds that may help support overall skin health.
The formula also includes a blend of botanical essential oils, including lavender, chamomile, ylang-ylang, geranium, and myrrh, which provide aromatic plant compounds that contribute to the overall formulation.
Because facial oils are concentrated, only a small amount is typically needed to help maintain hydration and support the skin barrier.

What I like
I like that this formula focuses on organic plant oils and botanical extracts rather than synthetic fillers.
Ingredients such as jojoba oil, argan oil, rosehip oil, and sunflower seed oil help support moisture balance while maintaining a lightweight feel on the skin.
The EWG analyzer rating for this formula is around a 2, which reflects a relatively low hazard profile based on the available ingredient data.
Things to keep in mind
This formula contains several essential oils, including lavender, chamomile, ylang-ylang, geranium, and myrrh. While these ingredients contribute botanical and aromatic properties, individuals with very sensitive skin may want to patch test before regular use.
Essential oils can carry trace contaminants depending on their sourcing and processing, which is why I prioritize brands that use third-party testing and adhere to ingredient quality standards to help minimize contaminants.
