Abyssinian Oil: The Powerhouse for Your Skincare Routine
on Jul 31 2024
In the world of skincare, there is one ingredient that stands out for its incredible hydrating properties and sustainable profile - Abyssinian Oil. This blog will cover why this powerhouse ingredient should be the star of your skincare routine.
The Science Behind the Glow
Abyssinian Oil's biological makeup mimics human sebum, allowing it to penetrate the epidermis rapidly and deeply nourish the skin. This "skin-like" property makes it a perfect fit for all skin types, from dry and sensitive to oily and combination.
Key Benefits:
Deeply hydrates with Vitamin E
Contains erucic acid to prevent transepidermal water loss
Rich in Omega fatty acids (3, 6, and 9) to regulate oil production and improve hydration
The Eco-Conscious Choice
Sourced from Crambe Abyssinica, a regenerative plant native to the Ethiopian Highlands, Abyssinian Oil is a sustainable powerhouse. Unlike some popular oils, it:
Has a short growing cycle (around 100 days)
Requires minimal water
Nourishes the soil it grows in
Supports natural ecosystems by attracting diverse pollinators
Your Step-by-Step Abyssinian Oil Routine
Step 1: Cleanse with our Prime Time Cream Cleanser
Gently melts away impurities without disrupting oil balance
Enriched with shea butter and sweet almond oil for silky-smooth skin.
Pro Tip: Pair with a Facial Cleansing Konjac Sponge for gentle exfoliation
Step 2: Target and Treat with our Eye and Deep Line Super Serum
Fragrance-free formula ideal for sensitive skin
Deeply moisturizes to reduce the appearance of fine lines
A little goes a long way
Step 3: Moisturize and Protect with our Hydra Boost Day Cream
Lightweight yet deeply hydrating
Made with shea butter, sweet almond oil, and coconut oil
Step 4: Overnight Transformation with our Night Halo Potent Sleep Mask
Infused with blackcurrant seed oil for an antioxidant boost
Replenishes skin overnight for a radiant morning glow
The Abyssinian Oil Difference: Why It's Your Skin's New Best Friend
Balances natural oils, perfect for oily or combination skin
Soothes dry or irritated skin for instant relief
Supports overall skin health by mimicking natural sebum
Abyssinian Oil isn't just another trendy ingredient - it's a sustainable, effective solution for achieving your best skin yet. By incorporating this powerhouse oil into your routine, you're not only nurturing your skin but also supporting biodiversity and eco-conscious beauty practices.

Day vs Night Cream: The Ultimate Guide to 24h Skin Hydration
on Jul 30 2024
Have you ever wondered if you're giving your skin the care it deserves? You're not alone! Let's dive into the world of day and night creams, and discover how to keep your skin glowing from morning to night.
The Moisturizer Myth Debunked
If you think you can skip moisturizer because you have oily skin, you're not alone! Even so, that's not the case - even oily skin needs hydration! Oily skin is often dehydrated skin in disguise, and trans-epidermal water loss affects everyone - so, proper hydration is essential to keep skin feeling and looking supple and youthful.
Day Cream: Your Skin's Daily Defender
Your day cream is your skin's first line of defense. Here's what to look for:
Lightweight texture for comfortable wear
Pollution-fighting ingredients (like our Really Radiant Moisturiser with plant-based microalgae)
Quick absorption for easy makeup application
Night Cream: The Overnight Skin Savior
While you're sleeping, your skin is busy repairing and rejuvenating itself. Skin regeneration can be up to three times faster at night! Here's how to maximize this:
Choose a richer texture for deep nourishment
Look for collagen-boosting ingredients (like the marine extracts in our Bright Night Intensive Cream)
Apply to both face and neck
Day & Night Cream Duo
So, although both day and night creams have goal to hydrate your skin, they can't be used interchangeably as they target your skin differently. A day cream will nourish your skin while keeping it protected against daily pollution, and a night cream will deeply hydrate you skin while addressing skin concerns.
Your skin deserves round-the-clock care, and now you know how to provide it! By understanding the unique benefits of day and night creams, you're well on your way to achieving that coveted healthy glow. Remember, skincare is a journey, not a destination.
