01 · The house
Plant oils, pressed and poured in small batches.
XO Botanicals makes skincare from plants: oils cold-pressed† from seeds and kernels, butters from nuts, and the waters left when flowers are distilled. Organic and wildcrafted*, with no soaps, detergents or fillers, and hydrosols with no preservatives.
Every ingredient has a page. Look up a name from a bottle's label, or follow one from a product page, and the XO Encyclopedia of Botanicals explains the plant behind it: where it grows and what it gives the skin.
About XO
02 · Read the label
When the front of the bottle says pomegranate, the back should too.
An ingredient list runs from most to least, the way a food label does. Whatever sits at or near the end is there in only a small amount, however large it is printed on the front.
On the Pomegranate Facial Serum, strawberry seed oil comes first and pomegranate seed oil second, which puts both at the top of the list rather than as a trace at the end.
Organic and wildcrafted* plant oils are each chosen for what they give the skin, and none is there to fill the bottle.
