Product Description
Create a simple, concentrated facial care routine with The Ilex Wood Frankincense & Bergamot Face Balm and Serum Gift Set. This natural vegan skincare duo combines two complementary waterless moisturizers: Frankincense & Bergamot Facial Serum — 0.68 fl oz A lightweight facial oil made with sweet almond, jojoba and coconut oils. The silky formula spreads easily across the skin, helping replenish moisture and leave the complexion feeling soft and conditioned. Frankincense, bergamot and sandalwood essential oils provide a distinctive citrus and woody aroma, while vitamin E complements the botanical oil blend. Frankincense & Bergamot Face Balm — 2.03 fl oz A richer facial moisturizer combining shea butter with jojoba, coconut and raspberry seed oils. The concentrated balm melts on contact with the skin and helps maintain a soft, supple and radiant-looking complexion. Only a pea-sized amount is required, making it suitable for morning or evening use on normal to dry and mature-looking skin. A complementary two-step routine After cleansing, apply two or three drops of serum and massage gently into the face and neck. Allow the serum to absorb before following with a small amount of face balm. The products can also be used separately. Choose the serum when lighter moisture is preferred or the balm when the skin needs richer conditioning. The naturally unisex fragrance makes the set a thoughtful gift for women, men or anyone who enjoys botanical skincare. Both formulas are natural, vegan, cruelty-free, palm oil-free and made without synthetic fragrance. Every product is handcrafted in Northamptonshire, UK, by The Ilex Wood and presented together in a recyclable gift box. How to use Apply two or three drops of serum to clean, slightly damp or dry skin. Massage gently across the face and neck, avoiding the immediate eye area. Once absorbed, warm less than a pea-sized amount of face balm between clean fingertips and press or massage it gently into the skin. Use morning or evening. During the day, follow with a suitable broad-spectrum sunscreen. Store both products at room temperature away from direct sunlight and extreme heat. For external use only. Patch test before first use. Frequently asked questions What does the gift set contain? It contains one 2.03 fl oz—or 60ml—Frankincense & Bergamot Face Balm and one 0.68 fl oz—or 20ml—Frankincense & Bergamot Facial Serum. Are these full-size products? Yes. Both the face balm and facial serum are full-size products. What is the total product volume? The two products contain 2.71 fl oz, equivalent to 80ml, in total. What is the difference between the balm and serum? The serum is a lighter blend of botanical oils. The balm combines plant oils with shea butter, giving it a richer texture and more intensive moisturizing feel. Which product should I apply first? Apply the facial serum first and allow it to absorb. Follow with a small amount of face balm. Can I use the products separately? Yes. Use the serum when you prefer lightweight moisture, the balm when your skin needs richer conditioning or layer them together. What skin types are they suitable for? They are particularly suited to normal, dry and mature-looking skin. Combination skin may prefer smaller quantities or application only to dry areas. Are they suitable for mature-looking skin? Yes. The botanical oils moisturize dry, mature-looking skin and help soften the appearance of fine lines associated with dryness. Are these anti-aging products? They provide moisturizing cosmetic care that helps skin look softer, smoother and more radiant. They are not pharmaceutical treatments and do not stop the natural aging process. Can they be used during the day? Yes. Apply sparingly, allow the products to absorb and follow with your usual sunscreen. Can they be used at night? Yes. Use the serum, balm or both as part of an evening moisturizing routine. Can I wear makeup over them? Yes. Apply small amounts and allow them to absorb before applying makeup. How much serum should I use? Two or three drops are usually sufficient for the face and neck. How much face balm should I use? Begin with less than a pea-sized amount. The concentrated formula spreads easily as it warms against the skin. Will the products feel greasy? Both are oil-based, with the balm having the richer texture. Applying small amounts and allowing time for absorption will produce the best result. What do they smell like? They have a natural citrus and woody aroma from bergamot, frankincense and sandalwood essential oils. Do they contain synthetic fragrance? No. Their aroma comes entirely from essential oils. Are both products vegan? Yes. Neither product contains beeswax or other animal-derived ingredients. Are they cruelty-free? Yes. Both products are cruelty-free and are not tested on animals.

Only retain an absolute plastic-free claim if every dropper, seal and closure component has been confirmed plastic-free. How should I store them? Keep both products at room temperature and away from direct sunlight or extreme heat. The face balm may soften when warm and firm up again when cooled. How long should they be used after opening? The current product information recommends use within six months of opening. Follow the period-after-opening symbol on the US packaging. Where are they made? Both products are handcrafted in Northamptonshire, United Kingdom, by The Ilex Wood
