Skin Creamery calming botanical balm concentrate provides instant relief for dry, sensitive skin. The solid oil blend of Marula, Prickly Pear seed and Baobab melts into your skin, hydrating and calming redness and irritation. 

Prickly Pear Oil

The Prickly Pear is a member of the cactus family, it can thrive through long droughts, producing fruit that contains small black seeds. Inside the delicious fruits of the prickly pear are seeds that contain the finest quality, precious oil carrying different types of fatty acids, phenols, nutrients such as vitamin E, vitamin K, phytosterols, and antioxidants. This oil is extremely hydrating and skin softening. 

Blue Spirulina

One of the most nutritious ingredients on the planet is Spirulina. Spirulina is a blue-green algae (found in both fresh and saltwater) or cyanobacteria, which is a type of bacteria that lives in water; they get their energy through photosynthesis. 

Spirulina is highly nutritious, it contains 8 essential amino acids, Omega-3 fatty acids, Vitamin B and Iron. It is also high in protein, which is necessary for cell repair and growth. That combined with being a rich source of antioxidants makes spirulina highly effective in the fight against free radicals.

On top of that, Spirulina contains a rare fatty acid known as gamma linolenic acid (known to promote the structural integrity of skin and decrease skin inflammation).

Helichrysum

Referred to by some as the Everlasting or Immortal Flower, the Helichrysum plant offers several benefits to the skin. With rejuvenating and restorative properties, Helichrysum oil has many uses, including reducing the appearance of blemishes and wrinkles, and providing a soothing sensation for the skin. Helichrysum essential oil has anti-inflammatory, anti-fungal, and antibacterial properties that may be useful in healing skin. 

Baobab Oil

Baobab is the hero ingredient as it is found in most of the Skin Creamery products.

Baobab (native to Africa) is often referred to as the “tree of life”. The powerful health and skincare benefits of baobab oil have been known and used by communities in Africa for centuries.

Pressed from the seeds of the baobab tree, baobab oil is a luxurious (plant based), nutrient rich oil. Baobab oil is a one-ingredient powerhouse! It is an excellent moisturiser and works to improve skin elasticity – naturally. Rich in vitamins A, D, E and F, it also helps to restore the skin’s natural glow.

Baobab oil is ideal to use on the skin because of its lightweight, smooth texture that absorbs quickly and isn’t greasy.

Skin Creamery

In a world flooded with information and choice, Skin Creamery exists to simplify skin care, stripping bare your daily routine to the essentials that naturally nourish and nurture the skin. The Skin Creamery ethos is to be kind to the earth, and kind to your skin. The range was founded in 2014, by Hannah Rubin, with a commitment to natural, simple living. Hannah’s childhood in South Africa’s verdant Garden Route region fostered in her a passion for a conscious way of life. Her training exposed her to quality skin care products and top spas, where she learned a deep appreciation for the carefully composed feel and scent of each luxury product; and the way each carried a unique sense of wellbeing or upliftment. Intrigued by these sensory experiences, Hannah studied the composition of products, researching ingredients and their properties. To bring calm and ease to her busy daily routine, Hannah envisioned a beautiful skin care product that could be placed beside the bath or shower – one product for face and body, with an all-over hydrating effect that wouldn’t compromise on quality. Working closely with a specialising chemist, she crafted the Everyday Cream over the course of a year and a half – and the journey that is Skin Creamery had begun. Throughout the years, Hannah has remained committed to using only the finest organic ingredients. This means each component in Skin Creamery products is more gentle on the skin and less likely to cause irritation. Every ingredient is selected for its unique healing qualities and ability to easily penetrate the skin. The Skin Creamery vision is to instill a daily ritual of simple self-care, which translates into a loving appreciation for who you are, just as you are.
