Nature’s Palette
At Luxe Apothecary Shoppe, we let plants speak in their own language. One of the clearest ways they express themselves is through color. From deep blues to warm ambers, these hues aren’t just beautiful—they’re direct reflections of each plant’s chemistry and purpose.
Let’s take a closer look at some naturally hued oils and the Luxe creations where they shine.
Blue: Calm & Soothe
Blue Tansy and German Chamomile turn a striking shade of indigo thanks to chamazulene, a compound formed during distillation. That blue signals soothing, anti-inflammatory power—perfect for calming redness, irritation, or overworked skin.
You’ll find this cooling blue in our Sweet Dreams Roll-On and Twilight Bath Soak, where German Chamomile lends its tranquil touch. Think of blue as the skin’s exhale.
Gold: Restore & Renew
Turmeric, Helichrysum, and Myrrh glow with a golden light. That radiance reflects their regenerative nature—anti-inflammatory, restorative, and deeply supportive of skin repair. Golden oils are called on for scar fading, wound healing, and cellular renewal.
Our Helichrysum, Frankincense & CBD Balm, Cuticle Care, Migraine Relief Roll-On, Therapy 5000 mg CBD Relief, and the GLOW Facial Serum are all lit from within by these golden treasures. Gold is resilience in a bottle.
Green: Balance & Ground
Green-tinted oils such as Petitgrain and Patchouli are steadying by nature. They help balance sebum, support clarity, and provide grounding for both skin and spirit.
Green is the quiet strength—keeping everything centered and calm, whether you’re caring for combination skin or simply seeking emotional equilibrium.
Amber: Strength & Protection
Resinous oils like Frankincense, Myrrh, and Copaiba wear warm amber tones that speak of depth and endurance. These resins are famed for skin-barrier repair, anti-aging benefits, and emotional steadiness. Their presence enriches our Frankincense Medley Massage Oil, Serenity Soak, Relax & Unwind Inhaler, and our beloved Helichrysum, Frankincense & CBD Balm. Amber oils hold space—both sacred and restorative.
A Final Note on Nature’s Colors
When you notice a golden shimmer in your serum or a hint of blue in your bath soak, that’s not an added dye—it’s nature’s chemistry at work. Each harvest may look a little different depending on soil, season, or climate, and that’s part of the beauty.
At Luxe, we never bind our oils with synthetics. A gentle shake before use is all it takes to awaken them. Think of it as part of the ritual: a swirl to reconnect you with what’s real, alive, and healing.
You'll find golden Helichrysum in our Cuticle Care, Migraine Relief Roll-on, Therapy Salve, Helichrysum, Frankincence, CBD Balm, Migraine Relief Roll-on, GLOW Facial Serum, Flow Lymphatic Relief
The thoughtful amber colored Frankincense is in our Relax & Unwind Inhaler Blend, Serenity Soak, Helichrysum, Frankincense & CBD Balm and FRANKINCENSE MEDLEY Massage Oil
At Luxe Apothecary Shoppe we don't use dyes, only botanicals in their original colors, working the way nature intends. Every shade tellwsthe story of real plant power at work.
