Additional Information:
Sebum can be a good thing. It provides the skin with a protective barrier functioning as a film former to seal in moisture. However, in this case there can be too much of a good thing! Excess oils cause skin to look greasy and attract dirt and debris which makes the skin look dull. Oily skin causes makeup to shift throughout the day.
There are three common ways that people attempt to reduce excess sebum production.
- Stripping the skin with harsh alcohol-based toners. This results in a rebound effect, causing the skin to go into sebum-producing overdrive.
- Applying oil absorbing powder to keep the shine down. This works aesthetically, but it does not address the root cause of the oil production.
- Biochemically blocking the formation of sebum on the skin with prescription medications. This leaves the skin dried and unattractive.
Pure Anada CONTROL Mattifying primer contains lab-tested botanicals that bind with your natural oils to reduce the appearance of excess sebum and simultaneously prevent dry skin. In essence, your own natural body oil becomes the perfect moisturizer for your skin’s bio-chemistry! Other functional ingredients help mattify skin without dehydrating it to offer a smooth, sebum-free base for long lasting makeup application.
Biopolymer Chia Seed Extract is a game changer for oily skin! It is a modified protein that disrupts the surface tension of sebum on the skin by binding itself to excess sebum. It absorbs oil in a water-dispersible polymer to form a film that reduces the appearance of oily skin and hydrates at the same time. Chia's moisture retention benefits help protect and condition skin.
Lady’s Mantle Extract was shown to significantly decrease sebum in an in-vivo study. Four female subjects between the ages of 23-25 participated in this study which showed up to a 30% decrease in sebum on the nose, and cheek area. Participants individually noted that the treated side was described as smoother, more matte, and a better base for makeup application overall.
