Cruelty-free products are those that are not tested on animals at any stage of their development. This includes both the ingredients used and the final product itself.

Opting for cruelty-free products helps protect animals from unnecessary harm and suffering. By supporting brands that do not conduct animal testing, you promote ethical practices and encourage the development of alternative testing methods.

While we do our best to offer vegan and cruelty free products, not all of our products are certified vegan and organic.

For example, in some instances, honey is used as an ingredient. Some products have a mixture of organic and non-organic ingredients.

The best way to find your favourite preference is to use the 'sort by' option on each collection page. If you select 'vegan' it will show all products that are vegan. Likewise for organic and other options available within the 'sort by' menu.

Oily skin is like a complex character in a compelling novel – often misunderstood and full of surprises. Characterized by an excess production of sebum, oily skin can lead to a glossy sheen, enlarged pores, and a propensity for acne and blemishes. Yet, with the right care, it can also exhibit a remarkable resilience and a youthful vigor that outlasts other skin types. The key to unlocking the potential of oily skin lies in understanding its needs and mastering the art of balancing its ecosystem.

Understanding Oily Skin:

Before diving into a skincare routine, it's crucial to understand what contributes to oily skin:

Genetics
Hormonal fluctuations
Stress and lifestyle
Diet
Humidity and environmental factors
Each factor plays a role in sebum production, and a holistic approach is required to manage oily skin effectively.

Daily Skincare Routine for Oily Skin:

Cleansing: Twice is Nice

For oily skin, cleansing twice daily is non-negotiable. It removes excess oil, dirt, and prevents the clogging of pores. Look for cleansers with salicylic acid or benzoyl peroxide, but make sure they’re not too harsh to avoid triggering more oil production.

Toning: Balance and Tighten

Toners for oily skin should balance pH levels and help minimize the appearance of pores. Ingredients like witch hazel or glycolic acid can be effective without over-drying the skin.

Moisturizing: Hydrate Wisely

It may seem counterintuitive, but oily skin needs hydration. Opt for oil-free, non-comedogenic moisturizers that hydrate without adding grease.

Sun Protection: Defend Your Skin

An oil-free, broad-spectrum sunscreen will protect you without contributing to the oil problem. Look for gel-based formulas that offer mattifying benefits.

Weekly Skincare Rituals:

Exfoliation: Clear the Path

Exfoliating 1-2 times a week is vital for removing dead skin cells that can trap oil. Chemical exfoliants like BHAs are preferable for oily skin.

Masks: The Deep Clean

A clay or charcoal mask can work wonders once a week, drawing out impurities and managing oiliness.

Additional Tips for Managing Oily Skin:

Blotting Papers: Keep these handy for a quick fix to remove excess oil without smudging makeup.
Diet: A diet low in sugar and rich in omega-3 fatty acids can help manage sebum production.
Stress Management: Techniques like yoga and meditation can keep stress-induced oiliness at bay.
The Ideal Skincare Products for Oily Skin:

When choosing products, look for those that are designed specifically for oily skin. Here are some keywords and ingredients to consider:

"Oil-free"
"Non-comedogenic"
"Salicylic acid"
"Hyaluronic acid"
"Niacinamide"
"Retinol" (use with caution, especially with sun exposure)

Oily skin doesn’t have to be a curse. With the right routine, products, and a bit of patience, it’s possible to achieve a clear, matte complexion that’s healthy and vibrant. Understanding and embracing your skin type is the first step to revealing its true potential.
