Oil-based moisturisers provide deeper and longer-lasting hydration compared to traditional water-based creams and cleansers. Unlike water-based products that evaporate quickly, oils create a protective barrier that locks in moisture, preventing transepidermal water loss and keeping the skin hydrated for longer periods.

Oil-based moisturisers mimic the skin’s natural sebum, making them highly compatible with all skin types, including oily and acne-prone skin, by helping to balance oil production rather than stripping it away. They are rich in essential fatty acids, vitamins, and antioxidants that nourish the skin, support its natural barrier function, and promote repair and regeneration.

Water-based products often contain emulsifiers and preservatives that can disrupt the skin’s microbiome and lead to dryness and irritation over time. By using oil-based formulations, the skin retains its natural moisture balance, remains supple, and is better protected from environmental stressors.
