Bí Elixir - Rejuvenating Skin, Hair & Nail Oil
Fruits of a wild coastal hedgerow
Bí Elixir is a blend of organic and infused plant oils with spectacular properties for skin, hair and nails, that thrive uncultivated in the Irish landscape. A new product based on research in our Bí URBAN lab, Bí ELIXIR has been designed to support Ireland’s transition toward climate neutrality. Unfortunately, none of the cold pressed organic oils chosen for this blend are commercially produced in Ireland today, despite their proven benefits and abundant availability in Irish landscapes. By celebrating the valuable properties of these native pollinator friendly plants found in Irish hedgerows, we hope to highlight new potential areas for Irish agriculture that support increased biodiversity and climate neutrality.
Use a few drops daily to nourish and rejuvenate skin, hair & nails. Apply it neat on damp skin or use it as an ingredient to experiment with making your own preservative free natural products.
