oily pattern


Explanation:

'owing to the oily pattern ... this creme will be used' or
'on the strength of the oily pattern ... this creme will be used

e.g.:
This helps to rejuvenate the skin with the more oily pattern.

For those who have combination skin, parts of the face such as the cheeks may be normal or dry, whereas areas such as the forehead, nose and chin can seem oily. This kind of oily pattern is sometimes called a T-zone.

lipid composition


Explanation:
What a pharmacologist/chemist would use to describe the composition.
On the other hand, the context is unclear.
The author might of course also refer to a sample, like Kim Metzger is suggesting.
