Key Ingredients Glossary

Willow Bark
Willow Bark
Willow extract is a non-irritating source of active plant acids and a natural alternative to salicylic acid (BHA). It helps speed up cell turnover, provides anti-acne properties, sebum control, keeps skin soft and helps support healthy skin flora.

Found in: Cleanse & Moisturise and Anti-bac Foaming Face wash

Green Tea
Green Tea
Green Tea has a high content of Polyphenols and is rich in antioxidants to protect the skin against attack from free-radicals. It is also soothing and helps reduce the redness of the skin caused by inflammation.

Found in: Cleanse & Moisturise, Anti-bac Foaming Face wash, Active Spot Cover, Face the Sun SPF15

Tea Tree
Tea Tree
This concentrated Tea Tree extract has specific antibacterial and antifungal properties. It is classed as an antimicrobial ingredient as it can help to control the bacteria that leads to spots. It is one of the key ingredients making the range perfect for use on young, blemish prone skin.

Found in: Cleanse & Moisturise, Anti-bac Foaming Face wash, Active Spot Cover and Peel off Face Mask

Prebiotics
When pores become blocked due to dirt, stress or health issues such as hormone imbalances, sebum quickly builds up under the surface of the skin.  As the clogged pores are not receiving any oxygen, small colonies of bacteria in the follicles start spreading, feeding on sebum. These bacteria are the primary cause of acne.

Prebiotics help by rebalancing the skin with good bacteria as well as preventing the formation of the bad acne bacteria. They also have anti-inflammatory properties vital for soothing inflamed or acne-prone skin.

Found in: Cleanse & Moisturise, Roll-on Deodorant


Omega 3&6
Rosehip, Sunflower and Hemp oils are great sources of essential fatty acids. Hemp oil is made up of 80% essential fatty acids and contains the ideal proportion of omega 3&6. It does not just coat the skin but also nourishes and prevents moisture loss. Also suitable for eczema, acne, psoriasis and minor cuts.  Oils rich in Omega-3&6 are non-comedogenic meaning that they do not block pores.  Instead, they help to normalise the production of sebum to restore a healthy complexion.

Found in: All of the Oy! products


Rosehip
The oil extracted from rosehip has excellent tissue regeneration properties which can help prevent any horrible blemishes scarring your skin. It also promotes healthy skin through its high concentration of Vitamin E and fatty acids. Rosehip helps to moisturise, soothe and soften the skin.

Found in: Cleanse & Moisturise, Active Spot Cover, Peel Off Face Mask, Gradual Tan

Aloe Vera
Aloe vera is extremely soothing and healing and helps to maintain proper protection of the skin as well as preventing 'over-production' of the oil glands.  Aloe also help to reverse scarring.

Found in: Cleanse & Moisturise, Active Spot Cover, Gradual Tan, Face the Sun SPF15
