How do I know which Liminal product to choose?
We've got a comprehensive guide that goes through which product and when and the differences between the different options.
Does skin breakout or purge when starting a new product?
Yes, it's common. As your skin adjusts to potent ingredients, it may purge old impurities like oil and dirt, leading to temporary breakouts. This is a short-lived process and signifies a deep cleansing for clearer skin in the long term.
Why does this happen?
Introducing powerful ingredients accelerates skin turnover, expelling deep-seated impurities. Not everyone experiences this; it depends on skin sensitivity and pore buildup. The surface may show minor breakouts or flakiness before revealing fresh, youthful skin.
What’s the difference between an allergy and a skin purge when starting new skincare?
When introducing products with natural Vitamin A and gentle botanical oils, it’s normal to wonder what your skin is supposed to do. Here’s how to tell the difference:
Skin Purge
A purge happens when active ingredients—like natural Vitamin A—speed up your skin’s renewal cycle. This can bring hidden congestion to the surface, showing up as small breakouts, tiny bumps, or increased oiliness.
Purging usually:
- Appears in areas you typically break out
- Looks like your usual type of congestion
- Improves within 2–6 weeks as your skin adjusts. If purging feels too intense, we recommend dropping to every second day until your skin settles.
Allergy or Sensitivity
An allergic reaction is your skin saying “this ingredient isn’t for me.” This can look and feel very different from a purge.
Allergies typically:
- Show up as redness, itchiness, burning, or rash-like patches
- Appear in new areas where you don’t normally break out
- Get worse the more you use the product
- Do not resolve with continued use
If you ever feel sharp stinging, hives, or swelling, discontinue use and patch test or seek advice.
At Liminal Elixirs, our formulas use gentle, carefully chosen botanical oils but every skin type is unique—listening to your skin is the best guide. We ALWAYS recommend purchasing a sample to test against your skin when first trying Liminal.

Does your product help with enlarged pores?
Carrot seed oil is a natural vitamin a (retinoid) and is also a wonderful skin toning and tightening agent. It can be used to minimise large pores and tighten up sagging skin.
Enlarged pores can be present due to a few different factors- genetics being one of them. Also when our skin is over producing oil it can sit in our pores and this is not the kind of oil we want as it’s clogging. Our product is non comedogenic and over time should balance your skin's oil production.
However like anything it’s not one size fits all.
Are your products pregnancy and breastfeeding safe?
Our products are made from the finest natural botanical ingredients. However we recommend always checking with your doctor or midwife before using any products containing essential oils.
What is your shipping policy?
We’re a small, mother created and centred business and we aim to dispatch orders within 2 to 3 days.
We offer flat rate standard shipping with Australia Post:
– $12 within Australia

We also offer free shipping Australia wide on orders over $150.
At this time, we don’t offer express shipping.
If you need your order urgently, please reach out to us before placing it so we can do our best to help.
Is your packaging sustainable?
Yes. All Liminal orders are sent in Hero Bubble compostable mailers, which break down naturally and leave no trace.
We don’t use individual boxes for each product. This helps us reduce waste, minimise our impact on the earth, and pass those savings on to you.
Instead of an instagrammable unboxing, we invite you to enjoy a consciously simple one — thoughtful, intentional and kind to the planet.
What about scent, colour and texture variation?
All of our products have a deep earthy scent. If you are sensitive to scent, we highly recommend purchasing a sample first to ensure the product is right for you.
Colour and texture variations in the Elixirs are completely normal and may occur due to seasonal changes & growing conditions. We are always ensuring we source the best quality ingredients and therefore they may change from time to time.
It does not affect the efficiency or quality of our Elixir in any way.
