Why We Make Waterless Skincare at Made By Coopers
Cleaner, More Potent, Better for Your Skin (and the Planet)
If you're a woman over 30, chances are your skincare goals have evolved. You're looking for results, clean formulations, and brands you can trust. At Made By Coopers, we’ve made a conscious decision to create waterless, oil-based skincare — and we believe it’s the future of truly effective, natural skincare.
But why remove water? And what’s so special about oil-based formulations?
Let’s break it down.
Why We Don’t Use Water in Our Skincare
Most skincare products are made up of 70–90% water. It’s cheap, filler-friendly, and gives the illusion of hydration. But water itself doesn’t hydrate the skin — it evaporates quickly and often requires preservatives to prevent bacteria and mold from forming. That can mean unnecessary chemicals on your skin and less room for active ingredients.
By removing water, we:
-
Avoid harsh preservatives on our face
-
Focus on powerful, active ingredients
-
Offer more concentrated, results-driven formulas
- Reduce trans epidermal water loss and improve skin barrier function.
The Power of Oil-Based Skincare (Especially for Mature Skin)
As we age, our skin naturally produces less oil and loses elasticity. Oil-based skincare helps to replenish this loss and protect the skin's natural barrier. Oils are rich in essential fatty acids, antioxidants, and vitamins that:
-
Lock in moisture without clogging pores
-
Soothe inflammation and redness
-
Improve texture and elasticity
A clinical review published in 2018 confirmed that plant-based oils can support skin barrier repair and provide anti-inflammatory benefits — ideal for sensitive, dry, or mature skin.
