Primally Pure Clarifying Serum

This lightweight, oil-based serum is designed to support clearer-looking skin using a blend of organic oils, antioxidant support, and botanical essential oils. Jojoba, prickly pear, marula, and grapeseed oils help balance and soften the skin, while turmeric, manuka, and algae-derived extract support a more clarified, refreshed-looking complexion. The finish feels smooth and lightweight for an oil serum, making it a nice option for those who want targeted support without a heavy, greasy feel.

What I Like

  • EWG Rating: 1, based on entering the ingredient list into the EWG Skin Deep Analyzer, placing it in the lowest hazard range.

  • I like how lightweight this feels for an oil serum, especially if you want clarity support without a heavy finish.

  • Jojoba and grapeseed oils are a nice pairing for helping skin feel balanced and comfortable.

  • Prickly pear and marula add a nourishing, skin-supportive feel without making the formula feel overly rich.

  • The blend of botanicals gives this a fresh, clarified feel that works well when skin looks congested or dull.

Things to Keep in Mind

  • This is an oil-based serum, so it applies best pressed into slightly damp skin or layered over a water-based serum.

  • Because the scent and activity come from essential oils (including citrus and neroli), this may not be the best fit if you avoid aromatic botanicals in leave-on skincare.

  • If you have very oily skin, you may prefer to use a smaller amount or focus it on areas that need the most support.

Sensitive Skin & Pregnancy Considerations

The base oils in this formula are generally considered low risk for topical cosmetic use during pregnancy and breastfeeding. Patch testing is a smart step for very sensitive, fragrance-reactive, rosacea-prone, or acne-prone skin, since this serum contains multiple essential oils, including citrus oils and neroli.

Essential oil transparency: This product contains essential oils. Essential oils can carry trace contaminants depending on sourcing and processing, and Feather & Nest prioritizes brands that use certified ingredients and testing practices whenever available to help minimize impurities.
