The formulation uses powerful antimicrobial actives of clove, neem, and marigold to reduce acne-causing bacteria (e.g., Cutibacterium acnes) without disrupting the skin's healthy flora. Simultaneously, sebum-normalising oils help prevent clogged pores and comedone formation.

Anti-inflammatory actives like calendula and turmeric inhibit inflammatory pathways and reduce cytokine expression, lowering redness, swelling, and post-acne hyperpigmentation. This also helps in preventing long-term damage to collagen and skin structure.

With regenerative ingredients like tamanu and vitamin E, the formulation accelerates wound healing by stimulating keratinocyte migration and fibroblast activity. It promotes tissue regeneration, fades scars, and smooths skin texture.

A robust lipid base restores barrier lipids like ceramides and linoleic acid. This prevents external irritants, pollutants, and microbial invaders from penetrating the skin, making it more resilient to recurrent breakouts and irritation.

Face oiling strengthens the skin’s natural barrier with fatty acids like linoleic and oleic acid, helping prevent water loss and shield against damage. In Ayurveda, this nourishing action—Snigdhata—soothes dryness (Vata dosha) and supports Rasadhatu (plasma), keeping skin soft and resilient.

Oiling with massage enhances blood flow and lymphatic drainage, delivering nutrients and flushing toxins. Ayurveda sees this as opening Srotas (channels) and moving Prana (life energy), resulting in brighter, clearer, more energized skin.

Plant oils carry vitamins and antioxidants that fuel cell renewal, repair damage, and support collagen. In Ayurveda, this is Rasayana therapy—nourishing from within (Dhatu Pushti) for lasting vitality and youthful skin.

Oils rich in anti-inflammatory compounds (like rosehip and turmeric) calm reactive skin. Ayurveda uses cooling oils to balance Pitta (heat and inflammation), easing redness, acne, and irritation.

Facial oils fight free radicals, maintain hydration, and protect collagen—slowing signs of aging. Ayurveda uses oiling (Snehan) to counter Vata-driven aging and preserve Ojas (vital energy), promoting firmer, stronger skin.

Face oils smooth skin, improve hydration, and enhance natural light reflection. Ayurveda calls this Kanti or Tejas—a glow that comes from balanced doshas and well-nourished skin, inside and out.

Androgen hormones stimulate sebaceous glands to produce excess oil, which mixes with dead skin cells and clogs pores, setting the perfect stage for acne. Regulating oil production with ingredients like neem, tea tree, or mulethi helps reduce pore congestion and the likelihood of breakouts.

In acne-prone skin, keratinocytes (skin cells) don’t shed properly and accumulate within pores, forming microcomedones. This buildup traps sebum, leading to non-inflammatory (whiteheads/blackheads) and inflammatory acne. Daily gentle exfoliation with AHAs or fruit enzymes can prevent blockages and maintain healthy skin turnover.

The anaerobic bacteria thrive in clogged, oil-filled follicles, releasing inflammatory mediators that trigger swelling, redness, and pus-filled pimples. Using antibacterial and anti-inflammatory agents like tea tree oil, neem oil can inhibit bacterial growth and reduce inflammation.

Once the follicle wall breaks due to pressure or an immune response, the surrounding skin tissue becomes inflamed. This inflammation intensifies redness, swelling, and pain. Calming ingredients like aloe vera help soothe irritation and speed healing.

Hormonal fluctuations - from menstrual cycles, PCOS, stress, or puberty - can spike androgen levels, leading to excess sebum and cystic breakouts. At the same time, dietary and lifestyle factors like high-glycemic foods, dairy, and inflammation-inducing habits can further drive oil production and acne. Supporting hormonal balance with adaptogens like ashwagandha and adopting a low-glycemic, anti-inflammatory diet rich in antioxidants, omega-3s, and zinc can help manage acne at its root.

Stripping the skin of its natural oils through harsh cleansers or overwashing can impair the lipid barrier, causing rebound oil production and sensitivity. Using a mild, pH-balanced cleanser and restoring moisture with non-comedogenic hydrators like aloe vera helps preserve barrier health and prevent acne cycles.
