The skin makes plenty of surface oil, yet reacts easily to many of the things commonly used to manage it. The sensible answer is to do less, not more. Flow Oily Sensitive is the lightest moisturiser we make, built to hydrate and support skin of this kind while keeping the formula deliberately simple, with no synthetic fragrance and only one carefully placed essential oil.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe blend leans on light, linoleic-rich grape seed and antioxidant-rich pomegranate, with a light dragon fruit seed oil and a modest note of conditioning argan. Alongside them sit squalane, soothing allantoin, our Atlantic algae, and a prebiotic and postbiotic pairing chosen to support the skin's own microbiome.

It also carries proanthocyanidins, a group of polyphenols the research credits with antioxidant activity, and cold-pressing keeps more of them intact.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePomegranate Seed Oil — 2.52%\u003c\/strong\u003e An antioxidant-rich seed oil notable for punicic acid, an unusual fatty acid found in few other plants, along with tocopherols and polyphenols. The research points to antioxidant and possible soothing activity. We keep the story on the oil's chemistry, not the fruit's reputation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eArgan Kernel Oil — 1.26%\u003c\/strong\u003e A well-tolerated, medium-weight oil with a balanced profile of oleic and linoleic acids, natural vitamin E, and some unusual plant sterols. We keep it to a modest level here, as the conditioning note in a blend built to stay light. Argan attracts more marketing than almost any oil, so we stick to describing what it is rather than what it is said to do.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSqualane — 1%\u003c\/strong\u003e A lightweight, skin-identical oil, today derived from plants such as olive rather than the shark-derived squalane of the past. It absorbs cleanly without greasiness, which is exactly what an oily-skin moisturiser wants.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAtlantic Algae, Bladderwrack — 0.14%\u003c\/strong\u003e Our signature ingredient. Bladderwrack is the same Atlantic species, Fucus vesiculosus, that grows on the rocks below Welcombe, though the extract itself is produced in France from that species. It is rich in fucoidans and phlorotannins, and the research points to antioxidant activity. The Devon coast is the kinship here, not the source.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePrebiotic and Postbiotic — Inulin 0.5%, Barley Seed Ferment 1%\u003c\/strong\u003e Inulin is a prebiotic, a substrate that the research suggests can help support the skin's own beneficial microbes. The barley seed ferment is a postbiotic, the filtered products of fermentation rather than live cultures, studied for support of hydration and a settled skin surface. The skin evidence here is still developing, and we would rather say so than overstate it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eA light dragon fruit seed oil completes the blend at 2.10%.
