Essential Oils That Elevate Your Skincare – Inside AMI London’s Shea Body Balm

At AMI London, we believe skincare should be simple, natural, and transformative. Our handcrafted Shea Body Balm does more than moisturise—it brings together a curated blend of aromatherapeutic essential oils that work in harmony to soothe the skin and calm the senses.

In this post, we’re spotlighting the eight powerful oils we’ve carefully selected for their skin-loving and mood-balancing properties. Each drop is intentional, adding more than scent—these oils actively support skin health, regeneration, and hydration.

Neroli Oil (Citrus Aurantium Flower Oil)

Skin Benefits: Regenerating, brightening, anti-aging

Delicate and floral, Neroli oil is a treasure for dry, tired, or mature skin. It encourages skin cell turnover, helping to fade scars, smooth fine lines, and restore elasticity. Its soft, citrus-floral scent also has uplifting and calming effects—making every application feel like a ritual.

Lavender Oil (Lavandula Officinalis Flower Oil)

Skin Benefits: Soothing, healing, calming

Lavender is well-loved for its ability to soothe irritated skin and support healing. It’s perfect for conditions like dryness, sensitivity, or post-shave redness. As a natural anti-inflammatory, it calms both the skin and the mind—ideal for winding down at night.

Vetiver Oil (Vetiveria Zizanoides Root Oil)

Skin Benefits: Cooling, grounding, regenerative

Known as the “oil of tranquility,” vetiver is deeply restorative and balancing. It helps improve skin tone and texture while delivering a cooling, calming sensation to inflamed or stressed-out skin. Emotionally, it grounds and centers—perfect for moments of pause in your routine.

Frankincense Oil (Boswellia Serrata Oil)

Skin Benefits: Toning, rejuvenating, anti-inflammatory

Revered for centuries, frankincense oil is a skincare powerhouse. It supports skin firmness, reduces signs of aging and inflammation, and helps balance uneven tone. It’s especially beneficial for mature or dull skin, encouraging a radiant and refined appearance.

Bergamot Oil (Citrus Aurantium Bergamia Fruit Oil)

Skin Benefits: Clarifying, brightening, antibacterial

Bergamot oil brings a bright, citrusy freshness to the balm. It naturally clears congested skin, supports even skin tone, and helps regulate oil production without drying out the skin. Its aroma is cheerful and invigorating, adding a sunny energy to your skincare ritual.

Petitgrain Oil (Citrus Aurantium Amara Leaf/Twig Oil)

Skin Benefits: Toning, cleansing, balancing

Less known but incredibly effective, petitgrain oil is extracted from the leaves and twigs of the bitter orange tree. It offers natural astringent and antibacterial properties, making it perfect for toning and refreshing dull or oily skin. Its herbaceous, woody scent adds a clean finish.

Camphor Oil (Cinnamomum Camphora Bark Oil)

Skin Benefits: Cooling, anti-itch, circulation-boosting

With a natural ability to soothe itching, inflammation, and irritation, camphor oil is perfect for dry or stressed skin. It provides a cooling effect, helping to reduce discomfort from rashes or dryness. It also improves blood flow, contributing to a healthier, more vibrant complexion.
