Blackcurrant Oil is a fantastic plant-based oil for dry skin and mucous membranes.It softens and soothes by restoring the skin’s natural lipid balance and forms a gentle barrier that protects and nourishes dry or sensitive areas.Rich in beneficial lipids – Omega-3 and Omega-6 from blackcurrant seed oil – it helps to rebuild the skin’s natural barrier.
Blackcurrant Oil is free from added fragrances and preservatives, to avoid disrupting the natural balance of the intimate area (pH and microbiome).

This is actually a positive and natural process. Our nutrient-rich berry oils stimulate cell renewal, which can cause the skin to begin "shedding" old, dry cells. This can temporarily feel like increased dryness.

It’s only a temporary phase, so we recommend continuing to apply or spray the oil generously. Your skin is adjusting and will soon feel softer and more balanced.

As Blackcurrant Oil is a self-care product, it needs to be used consistently and generously in order to be effective. We recommend applying or spraying the intimate area at least three times a day to start with, using a generous amount each time. If you're not seeing results, it’s often because the application has been too sparing.

We also suggest carrying a small spray bottle in your bag so you can reapply after using the toilet, even when you're not at home.

It’s equally important to look at what you’re using to cleanse the area. Soap — even those labelled as "intimate" — can be drying, and even plain water can disrupt the skin’s natural balance.

That’s why we recommend our gentle, fragrance-free Q Ultra Care cleanser, formulated to help maintain the natural balance of the intimate area.

If your symptoms persist after three weeks of consistent use, we recommend consulting a gynaecologist.

There can be many causes, but the most common reason is dryness in the intimate area. We recommend spraying/applying Blackcurrant Oil liberally for three weeks. In our study, pain during intercourse was reduced by 76% after six weeks.

Our Sensitive range includes products that are gentle and specially formulated for children’s delicate and sensitive skin.

Blackcurrant Oil can be used for nappy rash, cradle cap, and as a protective barrier on exposed areas before bathing.

Quick Repair Cream can be applied all over the body and has a slightly higher pH to help minimise stinging or discomfort.

Q Ultra Care is a fragrance-free, mild and caring shampoo for your child, made with gentle coconut-derived cleansing agents.

At Q for Skin, our philosophy is simple: skincare should feel good – and be a safe, trustworthy choice for the whole family.

Absolutely – Blackcurrant Oil is fantastic as a bath oil!

Add a few drops to the bath water and let the skin emerge soft and hydrated. For very dry or sensitive skin, we recommend applying the oil to vulnerable areas before bathing or showering. This helps protect the skin from the drying effects of water.

For best results, apply the oil again after bathing to lock in moisture and keep the skin nourished.

Blackcurrant Oil is a fantastic, light and smooth oil that nourishes and also protects the skin and makes it resistant. However, if you have very dry skin and / or have used products containing, for example, mineral oil / silicones, it can mean that the skin cannot initially receive the oil and it can settle on the outside. If you have very dry, dehydrated skin, it is like a wettex cloth and then moisture is needed to open up to make the skin receptive. Therefore, try to moisturize your skin before applying the oil or just after showering.
