FAQs
About Apokati
What is Apokati?
Apokati is a natural and organic skincare brand offering indulgent face oils and a clay mask, thoughtfully crafted to nourish, protect, and rejuvenate the skin.
Are Apokati products organic or natural?
Yes. We use natural and organic actives with transparent sourcing. No synthetic preservatives or fillers—only botanicals, clays, and oils.
Do the products have a scent?
Yes, but only from natural botanicals:
- Steadfast – subtle earthy aroma from tamanu oil.
- Night Shift – soothing aromatic notes of chamomile, cinnamon, and clove (a “spa in a bottle”).
- Metamorphosis – clean, mineral-rich clay scent.
Skin Concerns We Address
What skincare concerns can Apokati products help with?
- Dryness & dehydration
- Sensitivity & redness
- Dullness & uneven tone
- Fine lines & wrinkles
- Clogged pores & uneven texture
- Environmental stress & post-sun soothing
Do Apokati oils clog pores?
No. Our oils are carefully chosen for their low comedogenic ratings. For example:
- Jojoba oil mimics natural sebum and balances oil production.
- Squalane is lightweight, fast-absorbing, and clinically shown to be non-comedogenic.
- Tamanu oil supports healing without blocking pores.
This makes our facial oils safe even for combination and breakout-prone skin.
