Why We're Waterless: The Benefits of Oil-Based Skincare

At Husk & Seed, we believe in harnessing the power of nature's most potent ingredients. That's why our skincare range is waterless*, formulated with a focus on pure botanical oils, butters, and extracts.

But what exactly does "waterless" mean, and why is it beneficial for your skin?

Most conventional skincare products contain up to 80% water as their main ingredient. While water can provide a temporary feeling of hydration, it doesn't offer the deep nourishment and long-lasting benefits of oil-based skincare.

Here's why we choose to be waterless:

  • More Concentrated Formulas: By removing water, we create highly concentrated blends packed with active botanical ingredients. This means a little goes a long way, and you'll see visible results with much less product. Our jars will last months.
  • No Need for Preservatives: Water can encourage bacterial growth, requiring the use of harsh chemical preservatives. Our waterless formulas are naturally stable and don't need these additives, making them gentler on your skin.
  • Better for All Skin Types: Waterless products are incredibly effective at maintaining your skin's natural balance. Without water and preservatives, the risk of irritation and allergic reactions is significantly reduced, making them suitable for even the most sensitive skin.
  • Eco-Friendly: Producing waterless skincare requires less water consumption overall, contributing to a more sustainable approach to beauty.

Experience the difference of Husk & Seed's waterless skincare and discover the power of pure, plant-powered hydration.

*note there is some water in our Mineral Sunscreen to ensure an even distribution of non-nano zinc on the skin. 

About Kelly - From Kitchen Creations to Crafted Skincare: My Passion Journey

Skincare has always held a special place in my heart, even from a young age. I remember being captivated by the lotions and potions on my mum's dressing table, eagerly experimenting with them all. My childhood curiosity extended to the kitchen, where I'd concoct DIY masks from honey, yogurt, avocado, and even porridge oats!

While my career path initially led me to become a qualified psychotherapist with over 10 years of experience, the pull towards skincare never truly faded. Perhaps it was always meant to be.

Today, as a qualified skincare formulator, my passion remains as vibrant as ever, albeit with a touch more sophistication. Some of those same childhood ingredients, like the ones in our facial exfoliant, have come full circle, finding their way into our meticulously crafted products.

Husk & Seed is a culmination of my lifelong fascination with skincare, and I'm thrilled to share it with you. Every product is formulated with the same love and dedication I felt as a child, ensuring you experience the joy of natural, effective skincare.

About Wendy - From Healing Touch to Holistic Skincare.

My journey with Husk & Seed began through my massage and reflexology practice. Witnessing the concerns of pregnant women and cancer patients seeking natural, gentle skincare options sparked a desire to create something more than just typical massage oils.

Furthermore, I encountered individuals overwhelmed by stress, yearning for self-care solutions beyond temporary fixes. This experience ignited a passion to develop a skincare approach that goes beyond the surface, offering a moment of respite and self-connection.

Husk & Seed embodies this philosophy. Our products are formulated with 100% natural ingredients, offering gentle yet effective care. More importantly, we encourage our customers to embrace a mindful skincare ritual – a few precious moments each day to de-stress, soothe the skin, and unwind the mind.

Husk & Seed is not just about skincare; it's about creating a space for self-care and mindful connection. We invite you to join us on this journey to discover the power of natural ingredients and the transformative potential of a dedicated skincare ritual.
