Breaking The Myth: “Oil = Clogging”
One of the biggest misconceptions in skincare is that all oils are heavy or greasy. The truth? The RIGHT oils can be light, fast-absorbing, and incredibly supportive — even for reactive skin. Oils like grape seed, rich in balancing fatty acids; rosehip, packed with vitamins that restore and renew; squalane, a featherweight hydrator; and sea buckthorn, bursting with antioxidants, all protect, hydrate, and strengthen without leaving a greasy finish.
When my skin was covered in clogged pores, rosacea, flakes, and burning — these kinds of oils made all the difference. They nourish instead of smother, hydrate without heaviness, and help skin shift in ways harsh creams and prescriptions never could…
Why The Right Oils Work:
Skincare science uses a comedogenic scale (0–5) to measure how likely an oil is to congest the skin. All of the oils we choose fall between 0–1, the safest range for sensitive, reactive, dry, oily, and combination skin.
In our formulas, we lean on oils that are light, fast-absorbing, and full of nutrients that support delicate skin. These oils don’t just sit on the surface — they absorb easily and deeply, delivering the healing powers of the plant-powered botanicals infused within them. They leave skin calm, nourished, and replenished, restoring balance and resilience from the inside out.

How Oils Support Reactive Skin:
Reactive skin often struggles with a compromised barrier, meaning hydration escapes more quickly and irritation sets in more easily. Oils step in exactly where the skin needs them most:
• Rebuild the barrier → seal in hydration, keep skin resilient
• Soothe sensitivity → ease redness and reactivity
• Deliver nutrition → feed the skin with vitamins, antioxidants, and essential fatty acids
• Absorb quickly → leave behind comfort, not grease
When we stopped stripping skin and started supporting it with oils, everything changed. Skin didn’t just survive — it began to feel strong, nourished, and healthier than it had in years.

How We Use Oils in Our Formulas:
Every oil is chosen with intention:
• Zen Reset Serum → black seed, rosehip, and squalane for restoring resilience and ease
• Soak It In Serum → sea buckthorn for deep hydration and strength
• Boo-Boo Balm & Calm Balm → infused oils that deliver the full power of plants directly to the skin
Each formula is built for sensitive and reactive skin, centered around oils that are light, effective, and supportive.

The Takeaway:
Oils aren’t the enemy — they’re some of the most powerful, natural allies for sensitive skin. When chosen wisely, they hydrate, repair, and strengthen without heaviness. For me, plant infused oil-based skincare was the turning point — the shift that finally helped my skin feel supported after years of struggle.
That’s why oils are a huge part of the heart of everything we create: they’re not just ingredients, they’re trusted, plant-based partners in skin healing and renewal. They’ve been my turning point, and I hope they can become yours too.
Rest well,
