How We Craft Our Infusions

At ORY Skincare, our botanical infusions are a labor of love. We use only dried, organic herbs to ensure purity and prevent spoilage, infusing them into premium carrier oils like Squalane, Jojoba, and Rosehip using time-honored methods:

Traditional Folk Method

Herbs steep in oil for 4–6 weeks in a warm, dark environment, gently extracting their essence.

Low-Heat Method

For faster results, we use low heat (below 100°F) to preserve the oils’ and herbs’ beneficial properties.

Safety First

Every batch is strained through fine cheesecloth, stored in dark glass bottles, and preserved with a touch of Vitamin E for longevity.
