Organic St. John's Wort infused oil has exceptional skin-repairing properties after burns or sunburn. It is obtained by macerating fresh flowers in organic sunflower oil. Its red color results from the plant's active ingredients being infused into the oil. This St. John's Wort infused oil is recommended for any first-aid kit, whether at the beach or at home. The name St. John's Wort means "a thousand holes." This comes from the common European species Hypericum perforatum, which has small translucent glands. When the leaves are held up to the light, these glands give the impression of a multitude of tiny perforations.
