When was Oak & Ashland established?
Oak & Ashland came to life in the Fall of 2015 and was created by a licensed and trained skincare professional.
Are Oak & Ashland products cruelty-free?

Are Oak & Ashland products gluten-free?
Yes they are!
Can makeup be applied over Facial Oils?
Absolutely! After you have applied 2-5 drops of your facial oil, it's important to wait 10 minutes before applying your face makeup. Why? Because you want your skin to drink up all of that goodness. Waiting those few minutes will allow your skin to fully absorb all of the powerful antioxidants and skin-nourishing oils, leaving you with pillowy-soft and hydrated skin (perfect for makeup application). If your skin feels greasy after waiting 10 minutes then you have applied too much oil.
Are Oak & Ashland products safe for pregnant and/or nursing women?
If you are pregnant or nursing, Oak & Ashland suggests consulting with your physician before using any products containing essential oils. Although there are several therapeutic qualities in essential oil, not all are suggested during pregnancy. As a rule of thumb, you should always run your skincare products by your physician when pregnant.
Are Oak & Ashland products safe for sensitive skin?
Most products are, but we highly suggest doing a small patch test when trying any new products as well as reading over the ingredients to identify any known allergies. This is just a good rule of thumb to follow when exposing skin to ANY new face or beauty products.
Are Oak & Ashland products 100% natural?
Yes, they absolutely are! All products are made using the purest and most effective ingredients available. Non-GMO vitamin e, cold-pressed oils and steam distilled essential oils are a few of the high-quality ingredients that are used in some of the products.
Does Oak & Ashland use preservatives?
No artificial preservatives are ever used in the making of O&A products. Instead, they are preserved using 100% natural, plant-based preservatives and high quality antioxidants.
How much water should I add to the Rose + Coconut Mask?
A small amount of water (about 1 1/2 teaspoons) is suggested when mixing up the mask. The desired consistency is a smooth creamy paste. We also suggest mixing and applying with a quality mask brush such as the Black Beauty Brush.
What is the shelf life of your products?
Typically 9-12 months. All products are made using natural preservatives and powerful antioxidants...never anything artificial. Storing your products out of direct sunlight and at room temperature is always suggested and will keep them at their freshest.
Do you have any makeup lines you can suggest?
Yes! If you are taking the time to invest in quality skincare, then why not do the same for your face makeup? "Clean" makeup brands that Oak & Ashland loves are Jane Irdedale (the loose and pressed mineral makeup is incredible) and W3ll People.
Where are Oak & Ashland products made?
All products are handcrafted in small batches in the beautiful Sonoma Wine Country, USA.
