St John’s Wort Oil is a gentle, herb-infused oil traditionally used to soothe sensitive, inflamed, or irritated skin. Created by infusing the flowering tops of the Hypericum perforatum plant into a carrier oil (often olive or sunflower), it’s a classic herbal remedy known for its calming, anti-inflammatory, and reparative properties.
