Table of Contents
Why Oily and Acne-Prone Skin Craves Balance
Oily and acne-prone skin often feels like a battle: constant shine, clogged pores, and harsh treatments that strip the skin. The truth? Your skin needs soothing balance, not aggression. When your skin feels supported, oil production naturally levels out, and inflammation calms.
What Is Lavender Oil?
Lavender oil is a natural essential oil distilled from the Lavandula angustifolia plant. Known for its calming aroma and gentle properties, it’s long been celebrated as a multi-tasking ingredient for both the skin and senses.

The Science Behind Lavender Oil’s Balancing Power

Bold Truth About Oily & Acne-Prone Skin Products
Most acne soaps strip and dry your skin, making breakouts worse. You’ve tried scrubs, foaming cleansers, and chemical treatments—but nothing truly restores balance. Our Balance Bar, with activated charcoal, tea tree oil, aloe, and a calendula infusion, cleanses gently while nourishing oily, acne-prone skin. Watch the soapmaking process in this video and see how small-batch crafting ensures the highest quality. Each batch cures for six weeks, so once they’re gone, you’ll wait for the next round!
