Won't Face Oils Clog My Skin? The Intentional Science of Sophisticated Absorption

It's one of the most common, and understandable, questions we hear: Won't oils just leave my skin greasy and lead to breakouts?

In a word: No. But this is only true if the oil is formulated with intentional precision.

We understand the skepticism. Most people have only experienced low-quality, single-source oils that sit heavily on the skin. We believe that applying oil should feel like a moment of quiet luxury—a light, nourishing ritual that leaves your skin feeling instantly silky, supple, and never tacky.

The Three Pillars of Our Concentrated Formulas

Our background in scientific rigor means we don't guess when it comes to skin health. We meticulously engineer our multi-purpose oils by examining three critical, interconnected elements:

1. Oil Absorption Rate: We select oils that the skin recognizes and welcomes quickly, ensuring they penetrate the surface to deliver deep nourishment without leaving a heavy residue.

2. Comedogenic Rating: This is our assurance that a product won't clog pores. We prioritize oils with a very low rating, especially in our facial formulas, ensuring peace of mind for those prone to congestion or breakouts.

3. Fatty Acid Profile: This is the key to creating a truly superior oil. There isn't a single oil that can do everything. We carefully analyze the chemical composition of different botanicals—the balance of Linoleic and Oleic acids, for instance—and intentionally blend them to create a complete, balanced formula that delivers optimal skin healing and quick, sophisticated absorption.

Born from a Need for Efficacy

This intense focus on fatty acid chemistry wasn't just an academic exercise. It was born from a personal necessity. Like many of you, our founders struggled with their own persistent, chronic skin sensitivities, including acne, eczema, psoriasis, and pervasive dryness.

When we couldn't find products that truly healed without compromise or filler, our mission became clear: apply our scientific mandate to create a solution. The result was a set of oils that truly work miracles, bringing balance and calm to distressed skin.

The Proof of Pure, Intentional Luxury

Don't just take our word for the exceptional quality and absorption. Here's what those who have experienced our intentional formulas have discovered:

“I had my mom try the face oil and just wanted to let you know: IT’S AMAZING! She is 59, and she has noticed a big difference. She said it’s light/not greasy, and feels that it absorbs so well.” — Tabitha Newell, Little Bit of Life Podcast.

“Also, I absolutely love the lavender body oil. You are a genius. That oil absorbs into the skin so well and is not greasy at all. It is the best natural skincare product I have ever used.” — Lyndsey Dugan, Jo June Handpainted Jewelry

“Thank you sooo much for your help on my son's journey... I love your compassion and drive. I just can't say THANK YOU enough. Your products are helping him.”

If you are struggling with chronic dryness or persistent problem skin, we invite you to experience the difference that intentional, scientifically balanced, waterless skincare can make.
