How is the Face Cream different from the Eye & Face Cream?

The Face Creams are slightly richer in shea butter than the Eye & Face Creams and are designed specifically as moisturisers for the face. They contain a nourishing blend of fair trade and organic shea butter, organic jojoba oil and organic sunflower seed oil, with different essential oils added depending on the scent. The Eye & Face Creams have a lighter formula and are gentle enough to use around the delicate eye area as well as across the face.

How often should I use the Face Cream?

The Face Cream can be incorporated into your daily skincare routine. Apply a small amount to the face with clean fingertips and massage in. Only a pea-sized amount is needed per application, as a little goes a long way.

What ingredients are in the Face Cream?

All three Face Creams are made with 100% organic and vegan ingredients. Their shared base is fair trade and organic shea butter, organic sunflower seed oil and organic jojoba seed oil. The essential oil then varies according to the version:

Orange & Grapefruit: sweet orange peel oil and grapefruit peel oil.

Cedarwood: cedarwood bark oil.

Tea Tree: tea tree leaf oil

What are the differences between the different scents?

There are currently three Face Cream options, each offering a different essential-oil scent, character and benefit:

Orange & Grapefruit – a zesty, fruity citrus scent created with sweet orange and grapefruit essential oils.  

Orange essential oil is anti-inflammatory and antiseptic properties making it ideal for acne, dermatitis and uncomfortable skin conditions. It even aids the reduction of dark spots, thanks to the vitamin C content. Orange essential oil promotes circulation whilst simultaneously reducing enlarged pores and firming the skin. Grapefruit essential oil is antioxidant, antiseptic and anti-microbial which makes it perfect for cleansing the skin. With its anti-viral properties, it boosts the lymphatic system so can help with freeing the body of toxins. Oily skin can benefit from grapefruit as it helps reduce the overproduction of sebum. Excess sebum is oily skin. By aiding the skin to regenerate, grapefruit can help maintain youthful and glowing skin.

Cedarwood – a gentle, woody scent from cedarwood essential oil. Cedarwood is naturally antiseptic, antimicrobial and antifungal and an astringent, rendering it ideal for skin conditions such as eczema and spot prone skin. Abundant in anti-inflammatory compounds, cedarwood is excellent for calming the skin. If you’re having trouble sleeping, then cedarwood can come to the rescue with its ability to relax and sedate the body.

Tea Tree – a distinctive fresh, clean scent. Tea Tree has been used for centuries to clean wounds and treat a wide variety of skin conditions. Tea Tree is a popular go-to choice of oil for those prone to spots due to its antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory, antiviral and even antifungal properties. Tea Tree will cleanse the skin, help eradicate any infection, calm inflammation and heal, making it ideal for spot prone skin.All three have the same nourishing base of shea butter, jojoba oil and sunflower seed oil; the main difference is the essential oils used to give each cream its distinctive scent and additional botanical properties.
