Preventing excess sebum caused by stress-induced hormonal imbalance

ORIGINS, a brand that has consistently met the needs of the times with its innovative approach and broad vision, now turns its focus to the "root cause of sebum balance." Why does sebum imbalance, a concern for many regardless of gender or age, occur in the first place?

A major contributing factor is excessive physical and mental stress. Modern life, with its lack of sleep, fatigue, poor diet, and pollution, presents constant challenges. In response to these stimuli, male hormones can become dominant, leading to overactive sebaceous glands. In such cases, conventional, reactive approaches like "treating the symptom when it appears" are insufficient. In fact, over-cleansing or suppressing sebum can sometimes backfire, acting as another irritant that triggers further excess sebum production.

Therefore, the key is not to absorb excess sebum, but to "prevent its production." This philosophy led to the creation of "Zero Oil," a new skincare series that utilizes the power of plants to regulate the body's overall balance. By actively working both inside and out, this next-generation oil-control collection reduces skin and mind stress, guiding the body toward a neutral state.

Towards Fresh, Naturally Vibrant Skin

To achieve healthy skin, ORIGINS selected saw palmetto, a palm herb native to North America, as its key ingredient. This herb, traditionally used for male health issues, influences hormonal balance, thereby preventing the activation of male hormones and suppressing excess sebum production in skincare. It is luxuriously blended with other potent botanical ingredients, such as "Kelp Extract" to support saw palmetto's action, and "Aloe Vera" to calm and gently refine the skin's surface. This powerful approach leads to skin that is not just matte, but fresh, natural, and truly alive.

The line comprises three products: a cleanser, a toner, and a moisture lotion. In addition to their refreshing feel, the clean scent of the vibrant essential oil blend (spearmint, lemon, sweet orange, lavender, ylang-ylang) invigorates both mind and body.
