Product Description
Product Description
Organic Chickweed Oil is a specialised herbal macerate crafted by infusing freshly dried Stellaria media, better known as chickweed, into sunflower oil. The chickweed plant is easily recognised by its small, star-shaped white flowers, and its botanical name, Stellaria media, reflects this star-like appearance. Chickweed is often considered a weed, thriving in disturbed ground and forming dense mats along the ground. It is native to Europe but is now naturalised in many regions.
Note: Fresh chickweed is typically harvested in spring, and wilting the plant material before infusion helps preserve the infused oil and prevent spoilage. The process of making the oil involves gently warming the mixture to extract beneficial compounds like saponins and other extracts from the plant material. After infusion, the oil is strained to remove the plant material, and the infused oil is stored in containers.
The infusion takes place at a carefully controlled temperature that coaxes out the plant’s soothing phytosterols, flavonoids, saponins, and natural polysaccharides while safeguarding the sunflower base from heat stress.
The resulting oil is a translucent, meadow‑green liquid with only the faintest herbal aroma, making it an excellent choice for fragrance‑sensitive formulations where a neutral scent profile is preferred.
We fortify every litre with 0.1 % Natural Rosemary Antioxidant dispersed in sunflower oil to keep oxidative rancidity at bay, ensuring your finished products remain fresh and high‑performing throughout their shelf life.
Because our chickweed is organically grown, GMO‑free, and never irradiated, you receive an ingredient that respects both skin and soil, perfect for eco‑conscious brands seeking transparency from farm to formula.
Chickweed has been cherished in traditional skincare for its calming reputation, and when paired with the barrier‑loving fatty‑acid profile of sunflower oil, the combination creates a multitasking carrier that glides on smoothly, absorbs efficiently, and leaves the skin feeling soft, not slick.
Whether you are formulating a scalp‑soothing hair mask, a post‑wax body serum, or a gentle baby‑bump balm, Organic Chickweed Oil slips effortlessly into modern natural products that aim to comfort without compromise. The oil can also be blended into recipes for balms and serums, providing relief for irritated skin. Note: We hope you enjoy the many benefits this infused oil can offer.
Sensory Profile & Skin Feel
On first touch, the oil delivers a light, cushiony glide ideal for massage and easy spreading.
Within minutes, it settles to a satiny veil that breathes with the skin, avoiding the heavy occlusion sometimes associated with richer plant butters. The oil can be easily blended into other formulations to impart a gentle cooling effect on the skin, making it especially suitable for products aimed at soothing and calming irritated areas.
The herbaceous green hue can lend a subtle tint to balms or serums, signalling botanical authenticity while remaining easy to mask with mineral pigments when needed.
Because the aroma is so mild, it will not compete with essential‑oil blends or fragrance‑free claims, giving formulators creative freedom and sensory control.

FAQ's
FAQs
Is this oil comedogenic? It is considered low on the comedogenic scale, making it suitable for most skin types when used at recommended levels.
Can I use it on children’s products? Chickweed oil is not recommended for formulations targeting children under three; substitute Passionflower Seed Oil instead.

How long does the herbal smell last? The faint aroma dissipates within minutes, especially when combined with essential oils or fragrances.
Is the oil cold‑pressed or heat‑infused? The sunflower base is cold‑pressed; the herb is then macerated at controlled temperatures for optimal extraction.
