Balancing Serum for Oily Skin with Hemp Oil & Vitamin B3
Our award-winning Neutralize Serum for oily skin is a lightweight facial oil-serum created for skin that feels oily, unbalanced or prone to blemishes. It combines organic hemp seed oil with castor and rosehip oils, vitamin B3 and carefully selected botanical essential oils to nourish without leaving skin feeling overloaded.
Oily skin can still need moisture. Using the right plant oils can help support a softer, more comfortable complexion without relying on heavy creams. Neutralize is designed to make that step simple, with only a few drops needed morning or evening.

Botanical Oils for Oily or Blemish-Prone Skin
Neutralize is an oil-based face serum for oily skin, but that does not mean it has to feel heavy. The formula combines lighter botanical oils with carefully chosen supporting ingredients to provide moisture and conditioning while remaining suited to skin that can become oily or unbalanced.
Organic Hemp Seed Oil
Hemp seed oil forms the base of Neutralize Serum. It is naturally rich in essential fatty acids, including omega-3 and omega-6, and has a relatively light skin feel. These lipids help condition the skin and support softness without requiring a thick layer of product. You can also explore our cold-pressed organic hemp oil separately.
Castor Oil
Castor oil is a rich emollient containing naturally occurring ricinoleic acid. Within Neutralize it complements the lighter hemp base, helping skin feel soft and comfortably moisturised while adding body to the oil blend.
Organic Rosehip Oil
Rosehip oil contains essential fatty acids and naturally occurring carotenoids. It is widely used in facial oils to help support a smoother, softer and more supple-looking complexion. Our cold-pressed organic rosehip oil is also available as a standalone facial oil.
Vitamin B3
Vitamin B3 is included as part of the active ingredient blend. It is widely used in skincare designed to support the skin barrier, improve the appearance of uneven tone and help skin look calmer and more balanced.
Palmarosa Essential Oil
Palmarosa contributes a fresh botanical aroma and complements skincare created for oily or combination complexions. It forms part of the essential-oil blend that gives Neutralize its distinctive character.
Frankincense Essential Oil
Frankincense adds a warm aromatic note and is traditionally used in facial skincare for its toning and conditioning qualities. It balances the fresher notes within the Neutralize blend.
Tea Tree Essential Oil
Tea tree provides the fresh, cleansing note associated with the Neutralize range. It has a long history of use in skincare routines for oily and blemish-prone complexions and complements the balancing character of the serum.
Why Use a Serum When Your Skin Is Oily?
It is easy to assume oily skin should avoid oils altogether, but stripping the skin of moisture is not necessarily the answer. Oily skin can still feel dehydrated, tight or uncomfortable, particularly after cleansing.
Neutralize provides a concentrated oily skin serum step using plant oils chosen for their conditioning qualities. Because only a few drops are needed, you can easily adjust the amount according to how your skin feels.
How to Use Neutralize Serum
Apply a few drops to freshly cleansed skin and gently massage over the face and neck. Allow the serum to absorb before applying moisturiser if your skin needs additional hydration.
Use morning, evening or both. If some areas of your face become oilier than others, use less product there and concentrate slightly more on any areas that feel dry or tight.
