Oily Skin
Oily skin is one of our main focus areas. Oily skin is caused by an overproduction of sebum by the sebaceous glands. Sana Fela has developed an anti-shine product that is based on nobiletin, a naturally occurring substance that decreases sebum production. Below is a list of articles about oily skin and about how nobiletin works (see especially Part 1 and Part 3)

Acne
A second focus area is acne. Hair follicles can get plugged by oil, dead cells and dirt. This leads to swelling and inflammation and ultimately to acne. Get an overview of acne and what can be done about it using the links below. We have developed a tea tree oil based product to clear acne without the harsh chemicals that are used in many other acne treatments.

Diet and Life Style
Oily skin and acne, at least in part, are a result of the diet and life style choices that people make. You can learn about some of the scientific research that leads to this conclusion via the links below.
