FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
1. What is the story behind Oatberry?
I started Oatberry over five years ago when I was fed up with harsh, short-term skincare solutions that only made my problematic skin feel worse. At 35, I knew there was a better way to care for skin by respecting its natural barrier and long-term health. Oatberry is my mission to combine the best that nature and science offer.
2. What makes Oatberry different from other skincare brands?
Oatberry is built on the belief that skincare should be naturally nurturing and scientifically advanced. I’ve created products that are microbiome supportive, fragrance-free, and developed using naturally advanced ingredients. In short, each formulation is designed to soothe, protect, and transform your skin over time without compromising its natural resilience.
3. What do you mean by “naturally advanced ingredients”?
“Naturally Advanced” refers to ingredients derived directly from nature that undergo cutting-edge extraction methods and fermentation techniques. This process helps to isolate the most potent, bioavailable compounds from oats and berries, ensuring clinically substantiated results and maximum performance for your skin.
4. Where do you source your ingredients and packaging?
I source all ingredients and packaging exclusively from the European Union, guaranteeing that every component meets the highest ethical and performance standards. This commitment ensures that only the finest quality materials are used, reinforcing our promise to provide gentle yet effective skincare.
5. Is Oatberry suitable for sensitive or problematic skin?
Absolutely. I created these products while managing my own problematic skin. They are designed to calm irritation, support the skin barrier, and help reduce breakouts over time. The microbiome supportive formulas, coupled with the absence of harsh chemicals and fragrance, make them ideal even for the most sensitive skin types.
6. How quickly can I expect to see results?
Skincare is a journey, and every skin type is different. Many users report a calmer complexion and reduced frequency of breakouts within a few weeks of regular use. Over time, you can expect to see improvements in skin resilience, clarity, and an overall healthy inner glow.
7. How does Oatberry support the skin’s microbiome?
Oatberry products are thoughtfully formulated to work harmoniously with your skin’s natural ecosystem. I use a carefully selected blend of prebiotic ingredients that feed the beneficial bacteria, ensuring that your skin has the nutrients it needs to maintain a balanced microbiome. Additionally, I’ve incorporated postbiotics, potent compounds derived from oats, that further foster the growth of good bacteria and enhance the resilience of your skin barrier. This dual-action approach helps reduce problematic breakouts and irritation and nurtures a more resilient, balanced, and healthy skin microbiome over time.
8. Are your products fragrance-free?
Yes, all Oatberry products are fragrance-free. This decision comes from my own experience with sensitive skin, avoiding fragrance helps minimise irritation and supports a more stable skin barrier.
9. What skin concerns can I address with Oatberry?
Whether you’re dealing with occasional breakouts, long-term sensitivity, or imbalance in oil production, the Oatberry range is designed to address these issues through effective, naturally advanced ingredients. My own journey with skin care informed the formulation process, ensuring that each product provides gentle care and long-lasting results.
10. Can I use Oatberry products as part of my daily routine?
Yes, our products are crafted to integrate seamlessly into your daily skincare regimen. Consistent use is key to achieving and maintaining healthy skin. Whether you’re starting your morning or winding down at night, Oatberry is here to support your skin every step of the way.
