Grown Alchemist Matte Balancing Moisturizer (60ml)

The Grown Alchemist Matte Balancing Moisturizer hydrates while keeping oil in check. Plant-based Tapioca creates a soft-matte surface effect that diffuses shine without drying the skin out, while Acai Berry (used here as a plant-based alternative to lanolin) actively increases moisture levels and strengthens the skin barrier.

Rosehip Oil brings antioxidant support and skin conditioning, and the lightweight cream-gel texture makes it genuinely comfortable for daily wear on oily or combination skin. No greasy residue, no heavy finish - just balanced, healthy-looking skin. Available in a 12ml travel size for easy trialling. 

Oily and combination skin types dealing with midday shine, enlarged pores, or a heavy feeling from conventional moisturizers. Also works for those in warmer climates where heavier creams feel suffocating.

• Plant-based Tapioca creates a soft, natural matte finish
• Acai Berry hydrates and strengthens the skin barrier simultaneously
• Rosehip Oil provides antioxidant conditioning without adding greasiness
• Lightweight cream-gel texture absorbs quickly - no heavy residue
• Balances oil production with consistent use
• Suitable for daily use morning and evening 

Lavender and Clary Sage - a calming herbal combination that is subtle and clean. Not floral, not sharp - quietly grounding. 

• Tapioca Starch - plant-based, creates matte soft-touch effect on skin surface
• Acai Berry Extract (Euterpe Oleracea) - plant-based lanolin alternative, increases moisture and strengthens barrier
• Rosehip Oil (Rosa Canina) - antioxidant-rich, skin conditioning without adding shine
• Camellia Kissi Seed Oil - lightweight, quickly absorbed emollient
• Grapeseed Oil (Vitis Vinifera) - antioxidant-rich, non-comedogenic
• Jojoba Oil (Simmondsia Chinensis) - skin-compatible, balances without clogging pores 

1. Apply morning and/or evening to cleansed, toned skin
2. Take a small amount and warm between fingertips
3. Press and smooth over face and neck
4. Allow to absorb - the matte effect develops as it settles
5. Follow with SPF in the morning
6. For oily skin, this can be used as a solo moisturizing and oil-control step 

The Tapioca-Acai combination is the smartest part of this formula. Tapioca controls shine; Acai provides the actual hydration that keeps skin from overcorrecting and producing more oil. This is one of the moisturizers we recommend to gusy who say 'moisturizers make me look greasy' - because this one genuinely doesn't. The cream-gel texture is the format that oily skin types should be looking for, and this is one of the better executions of it we've come across.
