Sunflower Girl® PHYTOSILK Face Cream for Oily & Combination skin

Lightweight Barrier Care for Oily & Combination Skin Over 40

Handcrafted in small batches and made fresh to order, PHYTOSILK Face Cream for Oily & Combination Skin is a lightweight daily moisturizer designed to support skin over 40 that produces excess oil while still experiencing dehydration and barrier imbalance.

As skin matures, even oily skin becomes more vulnerable to moisture loss, sensitivity, and inflammation. This formula delivers targeted hydration and barrier support without heaviness, helping balance oil production while maintaining comfort and clarity.

Why It Works

Oily and combination skin over 40 requires a different approach than younger skin. Stripping or over-mattifying weakens the barrier and often triggers more oil production. PHYTOSILK supports the skin’s lipid structure using biomimetic ingredients that help regulate moisture, calm inflammation, and restore balance — without clogging pores or leaving residue.

How to Use

Apply a small amount to clean skin after serum, morning and evening. Massage gently into the face and neck until fully absorbed. Suitable for daily use.

Description of Ingredients

Witch Hazel Hydrosol
Obtained through steam distillation of witch hazel leaves and stems, this hydrosol offers anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and skin-repairing benefits. It helps calm the skin, refine its appearance, and support balance without stripping — especially important for oily and combination skin.

Phytosterols
The primary oil-soluble component of this formula, phytosterols are essential for maintaining a healthy skin barrier. Derived from avocado and olive oil unsaponifiables, these plant-based lipids help strengthen the cell membrane, regulate inflammation, improve microcirculation, and slow visible signs of skin aging while supporting protection against environmental stressors.

Avocado & Tamanu Oils
Avocado oil delivers deep nourishment with vitamins, antioxidants, and beneficial fatty acids that soften the skin and support barrier integrity. Tamanu oil complements this with powerful calming, antimicrobial, and balancing properties, making this blend especially well suited for oily and combination skin that is prone to sensitivity or inflammation.

Squalane
A lightweight, stable lipid derived from olive oil that closely mimics the skin’s natural sebum. Squalane absorbs easily, improves softness, and enhances comfort without leaving a greasy residue.

Niacinamide (Vitamin B3)
A multi-functional, well-tolerated cosmeceutical ingredient known to support collagen synthesis, ceramide production, and barrier repair. Niacinamide helps improve skin texture, hydration, and resilience — a true workhorse for skin over 40.

Sea Kelp Bioferment
Fermented with Lactobacillus to enhance bioavailability, this oil-free ingredient is rich in trace minerals and skin-supportive compounds. It nourishes, soothes, and supports skin repair while remaining lightweight and ideal for oily and combination skin.

Panthenol (Pro-Vitamin B5) & Allantoin
These skin-identical ingredients support hydration, smoothness, and healthy skin renewal. Panthenol helps improve elasticity and comfort, while allantoin promotes gentle exfoliation of surface cells and supports wound healing and skin softness.

Rosemary Leaf Extract
A natural, oil-soluble antioxidant used to protect the integrity of the plant oils in the formula, helping maintain freshness and stability.
