Most facial oils focus on one or two key ingredients, but the Sorella Apothecary Facial Nectar is a multi-oil blend formulated to address hydration, barrier repair, and antioxidant protection in a single product. The combination of jojoba, safflower, rosehip, meadowfoam, and crambe abyssinica oils means you're getting a spectrum of fatty acids and skin-identical lipids rather than relying on a single source. That balance is what makes it effective across skin types and conditions.

Yes. The Sorella Apothecary Facial Nectar can be used as a first-cleanse oil to dissolve makeup, sunscreen, and daily buildup before following with a water-based cleanser. The lipid-rich blend of safflower, jojoba, and sunflower oils breaks down oil-soluble impurities effectively without disrupting the skin barrier in the process. This makes it a practical option for those who double-cleanse.

Because the Sorella Apothecary Facial Nectar is rich in linoleic acid from safflower and sunflower oils, it can actually be a better fit for acne-prone skin than oils high in oleic acid. Linoleic acid is the fatty acid that acne-prone skin tends to be deficient in. That said, every skin is different, and if you have concerns about facial oils and breakouts, our team of licensed estheticians can help you determine whether this is the right fit for your skin through a free skincare consultation.

Yes. The Sorella Apothecary Facial Nectar has a naturally uplifting scent from grapefruit, sweet orange, mandarin, and lavender essential oils. The fragrance comes entirely from these botanically derived oils rather than synthetic fragrance. The scent is light and dissipates quickly once absorbed.

When using it as a serum or moisturizer, apply the Sorella Apothecary Facial Nectar after cleansing and toning while skin is still slightly damp, as this helps lock in moisture. If you are layering it under a separate moisturizer, use it first and allow it to absorb before applying your next step. It can also be used as a first step in a double-cleanse routine before your regular cleanser.

Two to three drops is the recommended amount for the face, neck, and chest. Because the oil is lightweight and absorbs quickly, a little goes a long way. Starting with two drops and adding a third only if needed helps the formula perform its best without leaving excess residue on the skin.

Yes. The Sorella Apothecary Facial Nectar is both vegan and gluten-free, making it a strong choice for those who prioritize formulations that align with those values. All ingredients in the blend are plant-derived, including the botanical oils and antioxidant extracts from rice bran, rosemary, and sunflower.
