Herbal Facial Toner - The Selkie - with Bergamot - for Oily & Acne Prone Skin

  • It began around a kitchen table, where a family of artists, plant lovers and a medical herbalist shared a cuppa tea and a simple question: could skincare return to nature? 

     

    When our teen daughters first wandered into the world of expensive skincare bottles and glossy promises, we looked closer at the ingredients and felt a quiet shock. So much of it felt distant from the earth. With the wisdom of Nana Kat, our herbalist grandmother, and the memory of growing up close to the land, we chose a different path — one rooted in folk herbalism, love of the land and old knowledge. 

     

    Today, we craft natural, ethical and mindful skincare by hand in small batches, inspired by folklore and the healing language of plants. 

     

    Each bottle is made with gratitude, as we channel the plant lovers who came before us, the herbalist Nicholas Culpeper, the Celtic mythological healer, Airmid, and yes, perhaps a hint of Luna Lovegood.

    I’m so lucky that I found this product. It’s been absolutely best purchase for my skin care routine. I found it in a little shop in Edinburgh. The bottle is finished now and I ordered a new one straight away. Can’t wait to receive it . My skin is craving it :)

    It has made a big difference

    Done wonders for my skin, I use it with the Oracle Facial Oil and it has made a big difference. I’m on my second bottle now and will continue using this natural and gentle toner.

    Noticeably hydrating to my skin

    I've used the Kelpie and the Selkie, and they are both really good, with a refreshing, clean scent and noticeably hydrating to my skin. The Selkie seems to suit my oily skin better - I feel that my skin is less oily by the end of the day when I've used the Selkie in the morning. Will be buying again once this bottle is done.

    "I just wanted to say thank you. I bought the Astrologer Face Oil... last weekend, and in the week I’ve used it my redness and blemishes have cleared up and my skin is feeling amazing. I’ve had so many compliments and am so delighted with the results. What was a spontaneous purchase has really improved my self confidence"

    The Seer Facial Oil Elixir

    VERIFIED PURCHASE

    "Our daughter has had a terrible time this past year with breakouts on her hands, with skin cracking and bleeding, especially around finger joints….. even typing at work has been painful!! All the doctors can provide is the usual steroidal rubbish that you can only use for short periods….. the new Airmid’s soothing botanical salve had an almost instantaneous effect, as within hours her skin had softened, especially around the cracked and bleeding finger joints!! This has been an immense relief."

    "I wanted to say the Face Oils (I've been using) for the last year have been so Fab… But then I ordered Beira’s Charm and OMG, it is a game changer…

    I wash my face with this, then use the Seer and see the difference straight away…  I am in my 60s, and my Husband said if you carry on improving like this, you will have to start carrying an ID card around to buy wine 🤣"
