nourishing oil
"I really like this facial oil. I layer it over a moisturizer and under my sunscreen. It goes on really nicely if you dampen your face with water or a facial mist before applying. It's not cheap but I love the way it feels."

Why we stand behind it
This protective day oil provides moisturizing balance with EFA (essential fatty acid) oils, which are crucial to maintaining healthy skin. Also formulated with eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA), a type of omega-3 from algae, that may help reduce signs of aging by blocking UV-induced enzymes that destroy collagen.
Spectra tests show high levels of UV protection in the long wavelength, UVA range, probably due to its high carotenoid content.
Key ingredients
Kiwi seed and chia seed oils: Provide hard-to-get omega-3s from plant sources.
Algae oil high in EPA: Moderates inflammation while blocking UV-induced enzymes that destroy collagen.
Olive and sesame seed oils and helichrysum essential oil: An anti-inflammatory.
Pomegranate seed, tomato seed, and broccoli seed oils: Provide special antioxidant protection from carotenoids and sulforaphane (a compound with sun protective properties).
Astaxanthin and red raspberry seed oil: Provide environmental protection because they help absorb UV rays.

"This oil has the best texture. I use it ever morning with a gua sha tools."
— Carlie K. (5/5)
"This oil feels so good on my sensitive combination skin. It's not greasy and feels nourishing. I've been impressed with the products from this line, and this oil is one I'll continue to purchase."
— Nikki M. (5/5)
"Obsessed with the smell of this oil. A little goes a long way and while I use this both on its own and under MV Sheer sunscreen — it's fabulous both ways. I have sensitive, fair skin and this do not disappoint."
— Chrissy C. (5/5)
"I have been using this for several years and when I try another oil or moisturizer, I always come back to this one because it’s not too heavy, smells nice, moisturizes well and good for both day and night. I love MV products."
— Chelsea J. (5/5)
"If I had to choose one brand for a desert island, it would be Marie Veronique. The Pure and EO Free Oil Cleanser is the absolute best first cleanse on the planet, no exaggeration, and the Multi Retinol Night Emulsion was the first retinol that my skin could tolerate (and it's powerful stuff, just formulated brilliantly). Over the past two years or so, I have gotten into oils after years of my skin reacting badly to them, so I've added the Protective Day Oil into the mix. It's such a beautiful daily burst of hydration and added protection. I use it either before or as my moisturizer depending on how hot it is outside, how my skin is feeling, etc. , and then layer the Marie Veronique Color Free Zinc on top (another genius invention; it feels like a small coup every time I slather it over my stubble and it disappears within seconds)."
— Joe V. (5/5)
"Small bottle and not sure how it's worth so much more than other oils of the same volume, but it feels nice and goes on smoothly! I couldn't apply the sunscreen without it."
— Stacey W. (4/5)
"I love the medicinal plant smell but not everybody might. Will buy again."
— Erika D. (5/5)
"This product is the single best reason I get compliments on my skin. I haven’t used creams in years."
— Sandra I. (5/5)
"This is my ride or die skin product. I’ve been using it for about 5 years now and can’t imagine a day without it"
— Erica W. (5/5)
