Targeted Solution
Oily & Acne-Prone
Oily and acne-prone skin is often the result of overactive sebaceous glands producing excess sebum, coupled with cellular buildup. Standard cosmetic treatments rely on harsh, stripping chemicals that dehydrate the skin, signaling it to produce even more oil. Our approach balances rather than strips.
Understanding the Condition
Oily and acne-prone skin is often the result of overactive sebaceous glands producing excess sebum, coupled with cellular buildup. Standard cosmetic treatments rely on harsh, stripping chemicals that dehydrate the skin, signaling it to produce even more oil. Our approach balances rather than strips.
What Botanicals to Look For
Look for gentle, purifying astringents that clarify pores and regulate sebum without stripping the skin's moisture barrier. Ingredients like Mandarin hydrosol (packed with Vitamin C and Citric Acid), Rosemary, Basil, and Turmeric offer natural antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory properties. Paradoxically, non-comedogenic oils like Jojoba oil help dissolve sebum blockages and signal the skin to slow down oil production.
How Our Formulations Help
We formulate with living hydrosols containing the water-soluble compounds of pure botanicals. Our solar and alchemical blends clarify pores, soothe redness, and promote moisture balance. Our Acne Shield features a custom-distilled blend of Mandarin, Rose, Rosemary, Basil, and Turmeric, stabilized with organic Jojoba oil to address breakouts while preserving the skin's acid mantle.
Apothecary Recommendation
If you suffer from active breakouts, heavy sebum, or post-acne marks, choose Acne Shield as your primary morning and evening toner. If your skin is highly inflamed, sensitive, or dehydrated alongside oiliness, layer Royal Rose Elixir to calm redness and infuse deeper hydration before applying Acne Shield.
