We’re Boycotting Moisturiser: A Bold Step to Becoming Moisture-wiser


In a world where moisturisers have become a daily staple in most skincare routines, Biomama is taking a bold step by choosing to boycott them entirely from their essentials range. Why? Because we believe in empowering your skin to function at its best without the need for constant external hydration. Inspired by Dr. Obagi's groundbreaking philosophy, we've designed a skincare line that focuses on enhancing your skin's natural exfoliation process, repairing the skin barrier, and supporting the skin's innate ability to moisturise itself from the inside out.

The Power of Natural Ingredients

Our essentials range is crafted with powerful botanical ingredients that work in harmony with your skin. We’ve opted for a blend of fruit acids, antioxidants, bakuchiol (a natural alternative to retinol), vitamin C, and nourishing oils. These ingredients are carefully chosen for their ability to promote skin cell renewal, enhance the skin’s barrier function, and deeply nourish the skin without the need for traditional moisturisers.

'Fruit Acids' gently exfoliate the skin, removing dead cells and revealing a fresh, radiant complexion. 'Antioxidants' protect the skin from environmental stressors, while 'bakuchiol' offers the benefits of retinol without the irritation, promoting collagen production and reducing the appearance of fine lines. Vitamin C brightens the skin and evens out skin tone, while the right oils deeply nourish, balance, and support the skin’s natural barrier without leaving it feeling greasy.

Oils: The Unsung Heroes of Skincare

There’s a common misconception that oils are not suitable for oily skin, leading many to avoid them altogether. However, oils are actually one of the most effective ways to balance your skin’s natural oil production. Unlike traditional moisturisers that can create a barrier on the skin, oils are readily recognised and absorbed, allowing them to work in synergy with your skin's natural biome.

Why Oils Work for All Skin Types

Oils mimic the natural lipids found in your skin, helping to regulate oil production rather than adding to it. For oily skin, this means that using the right oils can actually signal your skin to produce less oil, resulting in a balanced, healthier complexion. For dry or sensitive skin, oils absorb efficiently providing deep nourishment, supporting the skin’s barrier and preventing moisture loss.

Breaking the Moisturiser Myth

The idea that everyone needs to slather on a thick moisturiser daily is a myth. Most people who consider themselves to have dry skin actually need help building a stronger skin barrier and enhancing their skin’s natural renewal processes. By focusing on products that boost cell renewal and regulate the skin’s natural functions, you can help your skin learn to moisturise itself from within.

In fact, over-reliance on moisturisers can sometimes stifle the skin's ability to perform these functions on its own. Moisturisers can create a temporary fix, but they don’t address the underlying issues. By eliminating surface dead cells and allowing the mother cells to create a new generation of cells for renewal, our approach ensures that your skin stays hydrated, balanced, and glowing naturally.

A New Approach to Skincare

Our essentials range is designed to help your skin breathe, renew, and thrive on its own, reducing the need for external moisturisers. We believe that by supporting the skin's natural functions with the right ingredients, we can help everyone achieve healthy, balanced skin without the need for heavy, occlusive products.

So, if you’re ready to break free from the moisturiser dependency and embrace a skincare routine that truly enhances your skin’s natural abilities, join us on this revolutionary journey. Trust in the power of natural ingredients and let your skin shine from within.
