The Science

We preach the awesomeness of oils, for all skin types.

Every skin type needs oils. Yup, even the oilier ones that are prone to those "teenage" breakouts we all know and loathe. You see, natural botanical oils balance and feed your skin with antioxidants, fatty acids and vitamins they need.

As you get older, your skin produces less natural oils, so it needs a little helping hand from yours truly. These oils help prevent signs of premature ageing such as wrinkles, age spots and dullness and help to combat those pesky symptoms of pollutions, harsh weather and stress. (So it’s a win/win, right?)

And for those of us with skin that’s prone to oiliness, many people fall into the trap of using harsh, foaming products to ‘dry it out’. This, in fact, invariably worsens the situation – because when skin is stripped of its natural oils and not replenished, it thinks it’s dehydrated and goes into overdrive to produce even more oil.

Adding oils to your routine harmonises your skin, naturally.

It all starts with your protective, lipid barrier. 

It’s with a compromised protective barrier that often leads to bacterial infection and other skin concerns including sensitivity, dryness and breakouts. Foaming cleansers, over exfoliating, environmental stressors and ageing are key factors in breaking down and damaging your protective barrier. 

High quality natural oils mimic the skin’s natural barrier to help feed skin’s lipid layer to keep it strong and functioning. This helps to prevent signs of premature ageing including wrinkles, age spots and dullness.
