Cold-pressed oils

are extracted without heat or chemical solvents, preserving the integrity of the fatty acids, antioxidants and naturally occurring vitamins within each oil.

  • How Oils Benefit Oily & Acne-Prone Skin

    Cold-pressed like jojoba and hemp closely resemble the skin's natural lipids. When applied consistently, they can help normalises oil production and improve hydration without congestion.

  • Natural Vitamins That Mimic Actives — Without the Irritation

    Rich in vitamins A and E and essential fatty acids, cold-pressed oils help support skin renewal, strengthen the barrier, and protect against environmental stress. They offer these benfits in a gentle way, without dryness or irritation.

  • Nutrients the skin recognises

    Unlike refined oils, which can lose much of their bioactive value during processing, cold-pressed oils remain closer to their original botanical state. This means the skin receives nutrients in a form it recognises, absorbs and utilises more effectively.

The difference

 

Oils vs Actives:

Not opposites, but different roles.

 Actives Cold-pressed oils
Target specific concerns Support long-term skin health
Often stimulate or accelerate processes Improves tolerance to actives
Can compromise the skin barrier if overused or used incorrectly Restore balance after over-exfoliation or irritation from other products

 

Healthy skin responds better to actives — and oils help create that foundation.

Skin thrives when it is:
    •    Well hydrated
    •    Barrier-supported
    •    Calm and regulated
    •    Protected from oxidative stress

 

Modern skincare focuses on stimulating change

Exfoliating faster, increasing cell turnover, suppressing oil and forcing renewal.

Cold-pressed oils work differently.

Rather than pushing the skin to behave a certain way, they help restore the conditions the skin needs to regulate itself — strengthening the barrier, improving hydration balance, and reducing chronic low-grade inflammation.

This makes Lucent especially valuable for:
    •    Sensitive, reactive or acne-prone skin
    •    Oily but dehydrated skin  
    •    Skin recovering from actives   
    •    Mature skin seeking longevity rather than quick fixes
