Collection: Calm & Clear

• Acne-prone skin is often over-cleansed or stripped of its natural oils.

• This triggers the skin to produce more sebum, leading to clogged pores and more breakouts.

• Using non-comedogenic oils (like jojoba, hemp seed, or squalane) signals to the skin: “You’re moisturized — no need to overproduce oil.”

👉 Balanced skin = less congestion.

• Acne is fundamentally an inflammatory condition.

• When skin is dry, it becomes more prone to irritation, redness, and flare-ups.

• Hydrating botanicals (like aloe vera, calendula, chamomile, or green tea) help:

• Soothe inflamed skin

• Reduce redness

• Promote healing

• Acne treatments (retinoids, salicylic acid, benzoyl peroxide) can damage the skin barrier.

• A compromised barrier = more bacteria, more irritation, more acne.

• Hydrating ingredients (like panthenol (B5), glycerine and oils) repair and protect the barrier, keeping bacteria and irritants out.

• Many people with acne actually have dehydrated skin (lacking water), not just oily skin (excess sebum).

• The result? Tight, shiny skin that still breaks out.

• Hydrating botanicals (like rose hydrosol or aloe) combined with light oils help skin hold onto water and stay plump and healthy, not oily.

They help fight acne-causing bacteria and reduce clogged pores without being harsh or drying.

• “Oils clog pores.” → Only some oils do. Choose non-comedogenic oils high in linoleic acid.

• “Oily skin doesn’t need moisture.” → Oily ≠ hydrated. You can be oily and dehydrated.

Oils and hydrating botanicals help balance, calm, and restore acne-prone skin — rather than fighting it with harsh, drying products. The right ones will help your skin become less oily and more resilient over time, while providing an environment for skin to renew itself naturally.
