Matte Balancing Moisturizer

Matte Balancing Moisturizer by Grown Alchemist is the perfect choice for those who want balanced, comfortable skin with an impeccable matte finish. This lightweight cream has been designed to deeply hydrate while helping to regulate excess sebum and blur shine, leaving skin visibly more even, smooth and refined throughout the day. Ideal for urban routines and dynamic lifestyles, it offers oil control without sacrificing hydration or the feeling of wellbeing on the skin.

Key benefits

• Balance between hydration and shine control: helps keep skin comfortable and supple, while helping to reduce the appearance of oiliness on the skin's surface.
• Soft-touch matte finish: tapioca-based technology provides a subtle mattifying effect, creating a silky, non-powdery finish, ideal both for wear alone and under makeup.
• Reinforced skin barrier: botanical oils and antioxidant actives work in synergy to support barrier function and protect against external aggressors.
• Visibly more even skin: continued use helps texture look more refined and pores less noticeable, enhancing a healthy-looking complexion.
• Sophisticated sensory experience: its delicate lavender and sage scent accompanies a lightweight cream texture that melts in quickly without leaving a greasy residue.

Star bioactive ingredients

Tapioca

Tapioca, a plant-based starch, acts as a next-generation mattifying agent. It helps absorb excess sebum on the skin's surface and creates a "soft-focus" effect that optically smooths texture, leaving a soft, even matte finish that's pleasant to the touch. Its action helps extend the look of balanced skin throughout the day without a feeling of dryness.

Acai Berry

Acai berry (Euterpe oleracea) extract is presented as a plant-based alternative to lanolin, offering an extra boost of hydration and support for the lipid barrier. Rich in antioxidants, it helps fight the impact of free radicals and environmental stress, supporting a more resilient, nourished and radiant-looking skin, even on combination or oily-prone skin.

Rosehip Oil

Rosehip oil (Rosa canina) is known for its essential fatty acid profile and conditioning capacity. This oil helps smooth the skin's surface, improve the feeling of elasticity and provide extra comfort, keeping skin looking more even and healthy without adding weight or unwanted shine.

Other key botanical oils

• Camellia Kissi seed oil: a lightweight botanical oil that helps nourish and soften skin, contributing to a velvety feel.
• Grape seed oil (Vitis vinifera): rich in antioxidants and fatty acids, it helps protect against oxidative stress and keep skin supple.
• Jojoba oil (Simmondsia chinensis): with a structure similar to natural sebum, it helps balance skin, providing hydration without clogging pores.
• Borage oil (Borago officinalis): known for its gamma-linolenic acid (GLA) content, it supports barrier function and provides comfort to reactive or dehydrated skin.
• Aloe vera (Aloe barbadensis): helps hydrate and soothe skin, helping relieve the feeling of tightness.

Skin type and needs

Matte Balancing Moisturizer is especially suited for combination, oily or shine-prone skin looking for balanced hydration with a sophisticated matte finish. It's ideal for those who want to control excess sebum in the T-zone, refine the appearance of pores and maintain a smooth, even texture, without giving up a formula that respects and cares for the skin barrier.

Recommended use

• Apply morning and/or night to clean, toned skin.
• Place a small amount of product on your fingertips.
• Spread over face, neck and, if desired, décolletage, with gentle upward movements, avoiding the immediate eye area.
• On combination skin, you can focus on the T-zone (forehead, nose and chin) and use another specific moisturizer on drier areas.
• In the morning, always finish your routine with sunscreen to complete daily defense against external aggressors.

Sensory experience

The texture is that of a lightweight cream with a matte finish, which spreads easily and absorbs quickly into skin without leaving a greasy residue. The result is a face with controlled shine, a soft touch and a feeling of comfortable hydration. The subtle scent of lavender and sage brings a moment of calm and refined care to every application, in line with the brand's sensory philosophy.
