Many people with oily skin shy away from balms and oils, fearing they'll clog pores and exacerbate oiliness. However, at Husk & Seed, we believe that properly formulated balms and oils can actually be incredibly beneficial for oily skin. Here's why:

Myth vs. Reality:

• Myth: Oils clog pores and make oily skin worse.
• Reality: Not all oils are created equal. Lightweight, non-comedogenic plant oilslike those found in Husk & Seed balms and oils, penetrate deeply without clogging pores. They actually help regulate sebum production, balancing your skin's natural oils and preventing future breakouts.

Benefits of Balms and Oils for Oily Skin:

• Dissolve excess oil: Unlike harsh cleansers that strip away natural oils, balms and oils dissolve existing excess oil, preventing further production and leaving your skin feeling balanced.
• Hydration is key: Oily skin often lacks proper hydration, which can trigger the overproduction of oil. Balms and oils provide deep hydration, locking in moisture and preventing your skin from overcompensating with oil.
• Gentle nourishment: Harsh products can irritate oily skin, leading to inflammation and breakouts. Balms and oils are gentle and nourishing, calming the skin and preventing further irritation.
• Balanced complexion: By addressing the root cause of oiliness and providing proper hydration, balms and oils can help achieve a more balanced and healthy complexion.

Husk & Seed's Difference:

We use only high-quality, cold-pressed plant oils known for their non-comedogenic properties and ability to balance oily skin. Our balms and oils are lightweight and easily absorbed, ensuring they won't leave your skin feeling greasy.

Give it a Try:

If you have oily skin, don't be afraid to experiment with balms and oils. Our products are formulated with non-comedogenic oils and you only use a small amount. You might be surprised at the positive results!

Remember:

• Listen to your skin: Every individual is different. If a balm or oil feels too heavy,choose a lighter oil or adjust the amount you use.
• Consult a dermatologist: If you have concerns or persistent skin issues, consult a dermatologist for personalised advice.

By embracing the power of properly formulated balms and oils, you can achieve a healthier, more balanced complexion, even with oily skin. Give Husk & Seed a try and discover the difference natural skincare can make!

Sunscreen is an essential part of any skincare routine, but finding the perfect one can feel like a never-ending quest. At Husk & Seed, we understand the frustration of searching for a safe, effective, and cosmetically elegant SPF. That's why we've embarked on a mission to develop our own, reef-safe sunscreen that ticks all the boxes:

1. Non-Nano Protection: We are committed to using non-nano mineral filters like zinc oxide and titanium dioxide. These ingredients effectively block harmful UVA and UVB rays.

2. Zero-Cast Formula: We are meticulously researching and testing various ingredients and techniques to create a sunscreen that blends seamlessly into the skin, leaving no visible white cast. This ensures everyone can enjoy sun protection without compromising their natural skin tone.

3. Non-Comedogenic Ingredients: We carefully select ingredients that are non-comedogenic, meaning they are unlikely to clog pores and trigger breakouts. This is especially crucial for individuals with acne-prone or sensitive skin.

This mission is not without its challenges. Developing a non-nano SPF that offers broad-spectrum protection, is cosmetically pleasing, and remains stable can be complex. However, we are dedicated to extensive research and rigorous testing to ensure we deliver a product that meets our high standards and exceeds customer expectations.

Stay tuned for further updates on our progress!

We don’t believe in 10-step skincare routines that can overload your skin. We like you to  be able to multi-task with the Husk & Seed products you already have, which also  means you are not spending out unnecessarily. 

We have formulated our products to be gentle enough to use around the eye area and  they will nourish and protect the skin, whilst keeping fine lines at bay!

We don't make medical claims but many of our customers report a reduction in their rosacea symptoms and redness using our products (perhaps because we exclude many of the ingredients found in other skincare products that are known irritants).
