The Range

What we make, and what it's for.

Everything here is handmade in small batches from plant ingredients. Each category below explains what the products are, who they work best for, and how to fit them into a straightforward routine.

Cleansers & Face Care

Cleanse without stripping

Most commercial cleansers use surfactants that pull oil out aggressively — which works if you have oily skin and don't mind the tightness, but causes real problems for sensitive or dry skin. Our cleansing balms work differently: you massage a small amount into dry skin, add a little warm water, and the balm melts away the day's grime and SPF without any squeaky-clean aftermath.

The base is a blend of oat flour, chamomile extract and a gentle emulsifying wax. Nothing in the formula is there to produce foam or extend shelf life. What you get is clean skin that still feels like your own.

Best for: dry, sensitive, and combination skin. If your skin feels tight after washing, this is the category to start with.

Pair with the daily moisturiser — a light oil-in-water cream that uses calendula-infused sunflower oil and shea butter. It absorbs in a few minutes and doesn't pill under SPF or makeup.

Face Oils & Serums

Plant oils that work with your skin

Face oils sound heavy, but the right ones aren't. Dry skin lacks lipids — face oils replace them directly. Even combination skin often benefits from a few drops of the right oil in the evening, because properly hydrated skin regulates its own oil production better than dehydrated skin does.

Our rosehip face oil is cold-pressed and unrefined. The orange colour tells you it hasn't been bleached. It's high in linoleic acid, which absorbs well into the outer layers of skin and helps with redness and uneven texture over time. Use three to five drops on clean skin, morning or evening.

The jojoba blend is lighter and closer in structure to your skin's own sebum, which makes it the better choice if rosehip feels too rich for you. It's also good around the eyes and on the décolleté. Both oils are cold-pressed, both are vegan, both are unfragranced.

Best for: dry and sensitive skin in the evening; combination skin in winter or when dehydrated. Not recommended as the only step for oily, acne-prone skin.

Balms & Body

Body butters and healing balms

The body range is built around raw shea butter and coconut oil. Shea is one of the most effective emollients available. It's thick, it stays put, and it softens dry skin visibly within a few days of regular use. We leave it unrefined, so it keeps the natural fatty acids and vitamins that processing would remove.

The whipped body butter is best applied to slightly damp skin straight out of the shower. A small amount goes further than you'd expect. It's solid at room temperature and melts on contact — no pumps, no plastic tubes, no water added to bulk it out.

The healing balm is a harder formula made with beeswax-free carnauba wax and calendula-infused oil. It's designed for the places that take the most punishment — heels, elbows, cuticles, rough knuckles. Apply a thin layer at night and it works while you sleep. It's also the product we'd suggest for anyone with very reactive or eczema-prone skin, because the formula has just four ingredients.

The lip salve uses the same base as the balm, scaled down. It's unfragranced and unsweetened, which makes it suitable for anyone who is sensitive to flavour compounds.

Best for: All skin types for the body. The healing balm is particularly good for dry skin and skin that is prone to eczema or dermatitis.

Building a simple routine

A routine doesn't need to be long to work. Most of us do better with two or three consistent products than with eight products used inconsistently. Here is how to put the Oh Naturel range together depending on what your skin actually needs.

For dry skin

Morning: cleansing balm (if you cleanse in the morning) or plain water, then daily moisturiser, then SPF. Evening: cleansing balm to remove SPF and any makeup, then three drops of rosehip face oil while skin is still slightly damp, then a thin layer of body butter on dry patches.

For sensitive skin

Start with just one product and use it for two weeks before adding anything else. The cleansing balm or the healing balm are the lowest-risk starting points — both have short ingredient lists with no essential oils or fragrance. Once you're confident your skin is happy, add the daily moisturiser.

For combination skin

Use the cleansing balm in the evening only. Morning cleanse with water. Apply daily moisturiser across the whole face, avoiding heavy application on the nose and forehead if those areas are oily. The jojoba oil works well in winter when the dry areas of combination skin get more parched than usual.

None of these products contain SPF. Always apply a separate broad-spectrum sunscreen as the final step in your morning routine. We don't make SPF products because formulating them safely requires specialist equipment that a small-batch studio doesn't have.
