Introducing our soothing serum! It's a lightweight powerhouse packed with potent plant actives to effectively combat bacteria and soothe troublesome skin. We've meticulously selected top-quality ingredients that you won't find anywhere else.
Here's the best part: our serum contains raw, cold-pressed oils that are extracted without any chemical solvents, preserving their maximum potency. No compromises here!
The scent is earthy and reminiscent of tomatoes, twigs, and moss. It's a genuine, organic aroma. 
Our serum incorporates carefully selected herbal staples renowned for their supreme nourishment and impressive antibacterial, antimicrobial, and anti-inflammatory properties. 

Let's take a closer look at these remarkable ingredients:
• Chaulmoogra has a long-standing reputation in traditional Eastern healing. It's been used for ages to address various skin issues. What sets it apart are its unique antimicrobial acids, including chaulmoogric acid, gorlic acid, and the amazing hydnocarpic acid, known for its skin-healing abilities.
• Hemp is a true multitasker. It soothes inflammation, fights bacteria, and even has anti-fungal properties. It's a fantastic ingredient for troubled skin.
• We've found a way to put discarded tomato seeds to good use! Our zero-waste tomato oil improves skin smoothness and can help reduce hyper-pigmentation and scarring. Waste not, want not! 
• Dragon fruit comes to the rescue with its calming and anti-inflammatory properties. It not only soothes irritated skin but also enhances its firmness and smoothness.
• Daikon, another zero-waste oil, is rich in vitamin C and boasts impressive anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial properties. It's a true powerhouse for your skin.
• Castor oil may surprise you. Despite its thick texture, it actually has a drying (astringent) effect on the skin, making it a great regulator for oily skin.
• Our plum oil, sourced from the fruit industry's surplus, is packed with antioxidants. It's soothing and nourishing, giving your skin that extra TLC it deserves.
• Eucalyptus, a classic favourite, not only clarifies the mind but also the skin. With its antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory properties, it's a reliable ally for achieving a clearer complexion.
• Vetiver brings antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory benefits to the table. Aromatherapy enthusiasts love it for its ability to promote tranquility and relaxation.
Experience the power of our Simmer Down Serum, carefully crafted with these exceptional ingredients to restore balance, clarity, and peace to your skin. Say hello to your new skincare essential.

In love

On my third refill and I love this serum. The smell is very earthy and natural, the texture is light and absorbs really easily. I use this and mild mannered every morning and my skin has been breaking out less frequently and less severely and overall feels so much more balanced.

Literal magic. Or science.

I originally bought this to use as a daytime oil; it didn’t exactly go according to plan as I discovered I prefer using a lotion in the am instead. However!! I am so pleased to have this oil on hand because it is an absolutely potent magic potion that has helped me so many times. I was completely blown away after using it on a whim on post epilation strawberry skin on my legs and it calmed the redness down overnight (if that doesn’t sound impressive, it should, because usually my recovery time is about a week, during which time I ask myself why I keep doing it, then promptly forget). I have since used it on any redness, bumps, rashes, insect bites, you name it - the anti inflammatory properties of this oil are ridiculously effective on my skin. So I will keep it stocked up as a fabulous medicinal ointment. I also just open the bottle to sniff it sometimes because I love the earthy, unique smell. I don’t detect the tomato or eucalyptus strongly but instead, what I’m assuming is the chaulmoogra. I’d never heard of it before so after some reading, was absolutely fascinated by its history, and would encourage at least a read of the Wikipedia entry for Alice Ball, a 23 year old African American scientist who first used chaulmoogric acid as an injectable treatment for leprosy.

As with some other Neighbourhood oils I’ve tried, this one is also such a special and effective formulation, which is a rarity these days. On top of that, the design is absolutely stunning. Thank you!

Thank you!

I love everything I've tried from here. The facial oils (daily glow and dream dream) make my skin very happy.
Been using Simmer Down after a pregnancy spotty flare up and I've used it for a week and it's already calming it down.

It's expensive for me but thinks it worth it to support a female led, London local, environmentally conscious company. They also sorted out a refund on an extra delivery when I forgot to basket something.

Simmer Down Serum

I purchase this for my daughter, usually at Christmas and birthdays, to replenish her stock, as she uses Simmer Down as part of her daily skincare routine. She swears by it and her skin certainly looks great and blemish free.

Both lovely products and shopping experience

I've bought the Simmer Down serum (for some hormonal acne) and Another Year Wiser (for some dry skin lately). Been using both for about two weeks now. It's probably a bit too soon to say anything about great changes of my skin, but so far, it's been lovely using them! Also had some issues with the shipping, and Micaela was so helpful and nice. Love shopping from a small company like this. Would totally recommend!
