Oily or dry skin

Why natrl skincare is a game changer for oily skin

If you have oily skin, you’ll know the daily balancing act: excess shine by lunchtime, makeup that disappears within hours, and a constant stream of blemishes that seem to arrive on cue. Many people with oily skin turn to harsh cleansers, acids, and alcohol-based toners in the hope of controlling sebum, only to end up with irritation, dryness, and—ironically—even more oil production.

At Natrl Skincare, we take a different approach. Our formulations are designed to work with your skin, not against it. By using cold-pressed, plant-based ingredients that support healthy function rather than suppress it, we help oily skin find a state of natural equilibrium.

Here’s how the Natrl range helps oily skin look and feel its best.


1. Oily Skin Needs Oils—Just the Right Ones

It’s a myth that oily skin should avoid oils. When skin is stripped of moisture, sebum production ramps up in response, creating more congestion, shine and breakouts.

Natrl face oils and moisturisers use lightweight, non-comedogenic plant oils that hydrate the skin without blocking pores. Many of these contain linoleic acid, an essential fatty acid that oily and acne-prone skin is often deficient in.

This helps to:

  • Balance sebum production

  • Improve skin texture

  • Reduce inflammation

  • Support a healthy, resilient barrier

Our oils absorb cleanly, leaving a natural, satin finish rather than the heavy residue associated with synthetic emollients.


2. Naturally Antibacterial and Anti-Inflammatory Actives

Blemishes thrive in environments of excess oil and inflammation. natrl formulations include botanical extracts known for their ability to calm reactive skin and help minimise breakouts.

Instead of harsh acne treatments that disrupt the skin microbiome, our plant actives support it—promoting clarity without compromising long-term health.


3. Lightweight Hydration That Doesn’t Suffocate the Skin

Oily skin still needs hydration, but it often reacts badly to thick creams, silicones, and occlusive ingredients. These can trap excess oil and bacteria against the skin.

Natrl moisturisers are formulated with:

  • Aloe vera

  • Hyaluronic acid (plant-derived)

  • Lightweight emollients

These deliver hydration without heaviness, keeping the skin plump, smooth, and comfortable throughout the day.


4. Antioxidants for Clearer, Stronger Skin

Oxidative stress accelerates oil oxidation, which contributes to clogged pores and inflammation. Our products are naturally rich in antioxidants such as:

  • Vitamin E

  • Tomato seed oil

  • Red raspberry seed oil

  • Rosehip seed oil

These help:

  • Reduce congestion

  • Protect against environmental damage

  • Improve tone and clarity

The result? A fresher, more refined complexion that feels balanced rather than reactive.


5. A Minimalist Routine That Works

One of the biggest triggers for oily, breakout-prone skin is over-cleansing and over-treating. Stripping products create a cycle of irritation that leads to more oil, more congestion, and more frustration.

natrl encourages a simplified routine:

  1. A gentle cleanse

  2. Light hydration

  3. Targeted treatment if needed

This minimal approach supports the skin’s natural regulation rather than forcing it into imbalance.


6. No Silicones, Mineral Oil, Petrochemicals, or Synthetic Fragrance

These ingredients are commonly found in skincare marketed to oily skin, but they can:

  • Block pores

  • Disrupt the skin barrier

  • Trigger congestion or irritation

natrl is crafted to be:

  • Non-comedogenic

  • Dermatologically kind

  • Naturally fragrance-free

So your skin gets what it needs—and nothing it doesn’t.


Why Oily Skin Thrives With Natrl

Oily skin isn’t a flaw—it’s a skin type with specific needs. When supported correctly, it can look refined, luminous, and healthy without makeup.

The natrl range is designed to:

  • Balance oil production

  • Calm breakouts

  • Restore hydration

  • Improve texture and tone

  • Protect the skin barrier

All while using clean, plant-based ingredients you can feel good about.


Your Best Skin Doesn’t Need to Be Complicated

If you’ve been stuck in a cycle of stripping, drying and over-treating, it’s time for a new approach. The Natrl philosophy is simple: support the skin so it can support itself.

Healthy skin is balanced skin.
Balanced skin is beautiful skin.
