For dull, tired or uneven-looking skin
Glow Elixir is a concentrated botanical face oil serum designed to revive skin that looks lacklustre, fatigued or uneven. It works by replenishing lipids, supporting skin renewal, and restoring natural radiance so your skin looks healthier, smoother and more awake over time.
Enriched with skin-brightening heroes:
- Sea Buckthorn CO₂ Extract – rich in antioxidants and beta carotene to support radiance, vitality and a healthier-looking complexion.
- Pomegranate & Carrot CO₂ Extracts – help improve the appearance of uneven tone and dullness while protecting against environmental stress.
- Bakuchiol (plant-based retinol alternative) – supports skin renewal and smoother texture without the irritation associated with traditional retinoids.
-
Rosehip, Olive-derived Squalane & Calendula + Chamomile-infused Jojoba Oil – replenish moisture, strengthen the skin barrier, and calm stressed or reactive skin.
How to use: Apply 2–3 drops onto clean skin AM & PM, gently massage to help restore vitality and radiance.
Ideal for skin that feels dull, tired, uneven or lacking vitality. Especially suited to mature or environmentally stressed skin, and anyone wanting visible radiance without harsh actives, synthetic fragrance or unnecessary fillers.
Size: 30ml
Finish: Lightweight oil serum that absorbs easily with regular use
♻️ Packaged in amber glass to protect sensitive plant extracts and reduce exposure to plastic-derived microplastics.
💡 Notes
Free from added fragrance or essential oils. The botanical oils and CO₂ extracts give a naturally earthy aroma, a sign of the ingredients in their pure, active form. The scent fades shortly after application.

This is a lovely organic face oil and it really does the job, it is lightwieght and i love that it is unscented as im verey sensitive to strong perfumey scents. It is really gentle and my skin looks so muhc brighter and plumper, really happy as i got it on offer as well which was a nice bonus.
This face oil is really lovely, I'm on my second bottle, the last one lasted a few months so its well worth it, im really happy with the results and the ingredients. I've never used a face oil before but i must say, its super lightweight and doesn't leave me feeling greasy, I also love the colour as it just gives a nice pop to my skin! I'm currently trying this alongside the detox clay mask and so far so good!
I discovered Gentle Roots completely by chance on Instagram and I’m so grateful I did. As someone who works in the fashion and film industry, skincare has always been an essential part of my life, so I’ve tried countless products over the years, from cult favourites to very high end brands. But since becoming a mom, I’ve become much more mindful about what I use, always searching for products that are both effective and genuinely clean.
I took my time before writing this review because I wanted to truly experience the product and after using the Face Elixir for over six weeks now, I can honestly say it’s exceptional.
The texture is silky and luxurious without feeling heavy or greasy which is a must have for me. It melts beautifully into the skin and leaves it feeling deeply nourished, as if your skin is literally drinking it in. It’s 100% organic and clean, which is an absolute win in my book.
My complexion now has a natural glow, feels balanced and looks radiant in a way that even some of the most expensive products I’ve tried haven’t achieved. I’m genuinely impressed! Huge kudos to the founders for creating something so pure, effective and beautifully made - I’m officially a big fan!
I have been using this elixir consistently, every day for around 6 -8 weeks and my skin has never looked so good. It’s a light oil that absorbs quickly (you don’t need to use much at all) and gives your skin a lovely glow as it has a hint of colour due to the beta carotene. It’s packed with different oils and ingredients. I am able to go out without foundation, despite being very fair skinned, which I love. A little goes a long way with this oil-I still have loads left. Great product!
Gentle Roots GLOW ELIXIR has been an absolute delight to use.
I’ve not used a skin oil for years, in fact the last one I used was a rosehip based oil and my skin loved it. Fast forward a few years and I’ve got so caught up in kbeauty serums & actives that I forgot about the joys of skin oil!
I love the texture of the oil, thanks to the quality of ingredients used, it absorbed quickly and left no residue. After using for a couple of weeks, fine lines were less noticeable and my skin texture was improved. I didn’t notice any difference in dark spots, but mine are significant and very noticeable so will take time to fade them.
Only a few drops needed and this can be next safely mixed with existing skincare moisturisers. I stored mine in the fridge to preserve the delicate natural ingredients and ensure they stay fresh for longer.
Best features:
Cold pressed organic plant oils
– jojoba seed oil which is said to be the closest plant oil to the skin’s own natural sebum, hence well absorbing & non comedogenic.
- Calendula flower extract, which not only provides the oil with its rich orange colour but is a great anti-inflammatory & antioxidant.
– Chamomile flower soothes sensitive skin
– Rose hip oil is another great antioxidant that’s good for anti-aging and softening wrinkles. It’s also a powerful scar healer, so if you have post acne scars or surgical scars this one helps regenerate new skin cells to gently fade them
– pomegranate seed oil contains fatty acids and antioxidants, to increase skin elasticity & promote cell regeneration
- Sea Buckthorn is a powerhouse of omega oils 3, 6, 7 & 9 and vitamin A and C, protect skin from UV damage and improves skin tone and texture
-BAKUCHIOL - we all know this one is a great alternative to retinol and is much gentler on the skin
- Squalane provides skin softening benefits as a great emollient without leaving skin feeling greasy.
-carrot root extract is my new best friend: it contains Beta-carotene, a powerful antioxidant, plus linoleic acid for skin hydration in both oily and dry skin types. The vitamin C element in carrot helps to reduce age spots and improve skin texture.
