Hypericum (St John’s Wort) infused oil

Hypericum (Hypericum perforatum), commonly known as St John’s Wort, is a perennial plant with oil-rich leaves and bright golden-yellow, five-petalled flowers. It has a long history of traditional use across Europe and beyond, particularly in topical preparations.

Our Hypericum infused oil is crafted in New Zealand by steeping dried hypericum herbs in high-quality extra virgin olive oil. This process produces a golden-yellow oil that captures the properties of the herb in a stable, nourishing carrier base.

Used in skincare, Hypericum infused oil is valued as a conditioning and soothing ingredient. It can be applied directly to the skin or incorporated into formulations such as balms, salves, massage oils, creams, and lotions.

If you are looking for the deeper red variety, we also offer Hypericum Infused Oil, Red, made with fresh herb.
