Moisturisers are a staple in any routine and incredibly important for keeping your skin healthy and hydrated! But which one to choose? With our wide range of moisturisers and creams on offer, we understand it can be difficult to figure out the best options for you. However, this blog is here to help! 

Amino Acid Oil Free Moisturiser

Best for: Oily skin 

Benefits: Rebalancing, Pore Minimising, Hydrating, Calming 

This lightweight, oil-free formula is ideal for those with oily and stressed skin. The Amino Acid Oil-Free Moisturiser is formulated with a blend of non-comedogenic ingredients to help prevent congestion and promote balanced, healthy skin. L-Arginine, an Amino Acid found naturally in the body, supports overall skin health by delivering antioxidant protection and a healthy glow. With a low potential for irritation, it’s ideal for stressed and blemish-prone skin types. Saccharide Isomerate, derived from Alanine and Serine (Amino Acids), helps absorb excess oil, limit sebum production and mattify the skin, whilst Glycerin and Niacinamide provide moisture, relieve dryness and revitalise the skin. 

Whether you’re trying to combat an oily t-zone, banish breakouts or in search of the perfect base for makeup, the Amino Acid Oil-Free Moisturiser is all you need!

Ceramide Barrier Defence Cream

Best for: All skin types 

Benefits: Brightening, Hydrating, Protecting, Anti-ageing 

Ceramides are the ultimate skin heroes with their moisturising, brightening and protective powers. Ceramides are naturally occurring lipids, a.k.a fatty acids, produced by the skin and are a key component to the healthy functioning of the skin barrier. As the quality and quantity of Ceramides in your skin begin to deplete as early as your 20s, it is important to make them an addition to your skincare regime. The Ceramides found in the Ceramide Barrier Defence Cream are naturally occurring and sustainably extracted from pineapples. Within the formula, you’ll also find natural Squalane, which provides fast-absorbing and moisture to the skin. 

 The Ceramide Barrier Defence Cream is the perfect all-rounder, earning its skincare hero status by suiting all skin types.

Collagen Face Cream, with its rich formula, knows how to treat your skin! A moisturising base of Shea Butter, Cocoa Butter and Beeswax brings essential moisture to your skin, soothing dryness and patchy areas and strengthening your natural skin barrier to prevent TEWL (Trans-epidermal Water Loss). 

We use Vegetable Collagen as a 100% natural alternative to animal derivatives, which helps to plump the skin and reduce the signs of ageing for a rejuvenating, youthful glow! And if you're feeling like your complexion is looking fatigued, Magnesium PCA is here to help with its- anti-fatigue and skin-energising properties. You can look forward to bright, resilient and, mostly importantly, deeply moisturised skin.

Chamomile Night Cream is the ultimate skin soother. Take a step back and let your skin completely relax, with all your skin troubles addressed! The Chamomile flower extract is just as soothing for your skin as your tummy at teatime, thanks to the presence of calming Bisabolol. This ingredient targets irritation and discomfort, as well as helping to minimise hyperpigmentation. We add extra Bisabolol into our night cream for a super-soothing experience. If you find your skin feeling sensitive or easily flared up at the end of the day, this night cream has you covered! 

We also formulate with skin-identical (meaning its makeup is very similar to the oils in our skin and therefore easily tolerated) Jojoba Oil for deep hydration, increased suppleness, and a protective film against irritants and pollutants in the atmosphere. Plus, as it’s so similar to the oils in our own skin, it’s well tolerated by all skin types, including sensitive!

Ginger Root Daily Moisturiser

Best for: Normal skin 

Benefits: Hydrating, Protecting, Calming, Skin Firming 

Everything about this cream says healthy, happy skin! Ginger Root is an antioxidant, helping to reduce dullness and signs of ageing caused by UV exposure and free radicals, as well as generally evening skin tone. Super hydrating Tocopherol nourishes your complexion, and, paired with a lightweight Aloe Vera, ensures all the moisture you need is easily absorbed, leaving only a thin but effective layer of protection to keep your skin looking just as fresh all day long. 

A natural all-rounder, Ginger Root Daily Moisturiser is perfect for normal skin without too many concerns, mature skin or  combination skin.

Best for: Combination or Blemish-Prone skin 

Benefits: Pore Minimising, Rebalancing, Calming, Hydrating 

Zinc PCA Daily Moisturiser is the answer to 'I have oily skin, should I be moisturising?' Absolutely! Zinc PCA is great for balancing oil levels in the skin (and that goes both ways, so don't worry about those dry patches if you're combo) to keep congestion and shininess to a minimum whilst reducing redness and enlarged pores. Then we add Niacinamide, another oily skin favourite, to help reduce and calm blemishes, even out fine lines and skin tone, and improve the appearance of breakouts. Finally, Ginseng is your overall skin health guru - brightening, protecting, and rejuvenating your complexion! With super-fast absorption and no greasy film thanks to its non-comedogenic base, oily and combo skin types can enjoy a natural, balanced glow!

Benefits: Anti-ageing, Collagen Boosting, Skin Firming, Hydrating 

Native to the shrublands of Africa, the Griffonia Plant is a resilient plant has developed the ability to protect itself from environmental stressors. An ability that transfers to our 5-HTP Face & Neck Cream through the use of Griffonia Seeds! So, if your skin is looking or feeling a little lacklustre, or you’re a person who spends a lot of time outside, this is the moisturiser for you. It’s lightweight enough for daily use but moisturising enough to hydrate skin overnight, making it an ideal choice if you’re looking to synchronise your AM and PM regime!

With a little help from Caffeine, this face cream helps to improve circulation by refreshing and depuffing the skin for a healthier- looking complexion!
