      I use 5% in my facial oils and I find it to be highly anti-inflammatory. Absorbs in seconds and leaves no oily feeling.

      Fractionated coconut oil, clary sage,lemon,and helichrysum, it soaks right in and in less than a month has produced noticeable changes..an 80% reduction in
      Visible acne, now I'm using yarrow occasionally to help with the scarring
