Product Description

Epidermis & Sebum Balancer CB is a premium Alpine extract for cosmetic skincare.

From the Epilobium Fleischeri plant, a rare Willowherb that grows above 1,000 metres in the Swiss mountains. This unique environment ensures a nutrient-rich, eco-friendly ingredient for healthy, balanced skin.

Contains flavonoids and Oenothein B, both known for their benefits in skincare. These natural compounds soothe, refresh, and radiate the skin.

Product is a clear to slightly opalescent liquid, amber to brown, with a natural odour. Slightly viscous texture makes it easy to add to serums, creams, and lotions.

Formulators love it for sebum balancing, great for oily or combination skin types. Sebum produced by sebaceous glands is released onto the skin’s surface through hair follicles. Increased sebum production can cause oily or combination skin issues. And it’s gentle enough for sensitive skin, for a calm and even complexion.

By combining hydration with balance, Epidermis & Sebum Balancer CB helps improve skin texture, reduce shine, and look fresh. Balancing the amount of sebum on the skin’s surface prevents excess oil and a clearer complexion.

Sebum Production

Sebum production is a natural process for healthy skin. The skin’s sebaceous glands produce sebum, an oily substance that moisturises and protects the skin’s surface from environmental stressors. While sebum is essential for supple and resilient skin, excess sebum production can cause oily skin, acne-prone skin, and clogged pores. Hormones, diet, and lifestyle can all influence sebum secretion, so it’s important to understand how your skin produces oil. By learning to regulate sebum production, you can prevent common skin concerns like excess sebum, breakouts, and sensitivity, and support a balanced, healthy complexion – especially if you have sensitive skin or are oily.

Skin Types

Every skin type has its own needs, especially when it comes to sebum production. Normal skin has a natural balance, just enough sebum to keep the skin comfortable and hydrated. Oily skin has excess sebum production, which can cause shine, enlarged pores, and a higher risk of breakouts. Sensitive skin types are more reactive and can be easily irritated by harsh ingredients or excess sebum. Choosing the right products is key: oily skin products are formulated to control oil and minimise pores, sensitive skin toners and anti-acne active formulas regulate sebum production and soothe irritation. For oily skin, oil-free formulations and calming flower waters help to keep the skin fresh and matte. Gentle cleansers are for sensitive skin. Understanding your skin type is the first step to building a routine that keeps your skin healthy, balanced, and clear.

Sebum in Skin Health

Sebum is essential for skin health; it’s a natural oil that keeps the skin hydrated and forms a barrier against environmental stressors. But when sebum production goes into overdrive, it can cause oily skin, clogged pores, and acne. Hormonal changes, high glycemic foods, and extensive mask wearing can all contribute to sebum overproduction and mask-related skin conditions and t-zone oiliness. To keep your skin healthy, you need to regulate sebum production through consistent skincare routines. Gentle cleansers, exfoliants, and lightweight moisturisers can help to balance the skin. Natural ingredients like rosehip oil, evening primrose, and willowherb plant are soothing and great for sensitive and acne-prone skin. A great recipe with epidermis and sebum balancer can improve skin texture, minimise the appearance of large pores, and keep the skin clear. Water-based gel serums and oil-free products are also effective in controlling excess sebum and preventing clogged pores, especially during mask use. By choosing the right products and ingredients, you can support your skin’s natural balance and get a healthy, radiant complexion.

How to use it

Skin Care

  • Excellent for oily skin products, and it helps to reduce the appearance of large pores.

  • It is non-comedogenic and gives a very quick and visible improvement in the appearance of the skin.

  • Effective for sensitive skin types.

  • Mattefies skin, so it would work well in conjunction with Emulsifier M.

  • Helps to resolve maskne-related skin conditions caused by extensive mask wearing.

  • Add to toners and facial spritzes with calming flower waters.

  • Use in gels for pre-moisturising.

  • Combine creams and lotions.

  • Use in water-based gel serums for oil-free formulations to combat T-zone oiliness.

Hair Care

  • Idea for use in conditioners and masks for oily hair and scalp.

Other

  • Recommended addition level 1-3%.

  • It is water-soluble, so it cannot be used in oil-only products.

  • Heat sensitive, so use at under 40°C or in stage 3 (cool down phase) when making creams and lotions.

  • Use in creams or lotions with Geranium to help maintain healthy skin.

  • With Chamomile and Lavender Flower Waters for sensitive skin toners.

  • Use in a cream or lotion with Rosehip Oil, which can also help to reduce the appearance of large pores.

  • Blend with high GLA oils like Evening Primrose and Borage to allow oily skin to behave more like normal skin.

  • Combine with Anti Acne Active Formula in products for acne-prone skin.

Reviews

Not great

"After using this serum a few times in a couple of different water based oily skin moisturisers (that I use daily), I have the most incredibly oily skin which is become extremely hard to control. The product is sticky, doesn't absorb into the skin well and it doesn't mattify at all. I cannot use this during the day as it makes my face so horrendously oily that I cannot leave the house. I can only use this at night and I wake up to an alarming amount of oil, pooled all over my face. Is this normal for this product? is this a strange reaction? Do I have to keep pushing on for months for it to take affect? Such a shame."

— Kate (1/5)

"I use this to formulate a skin balancing cream for my teenage son and 2 tween boys, and they have lovely smooth skin. They always get compliments about their spotless facial skin. I'm really impressed with this product."

— Elizabeth (5/5)

"I really loved it!"

— Ndaya (4/5)

Added luxury to my cleanser
