Botanical Day Cream | Daily Hydration

One built on dry oils, which absorb quickly and leave no shine. This cream uses maracuja and jojoba for exactly that reason, and it is formulated for all skin types including oilier and combination skin.

Not at all. This is one of the features our clients value most. We specifically select light, plant lipids—such as Maracuja and Jojoba oils—which absorb directly into the skin without sitting on the surface. It leaves the skin feeling clean, deeply hydrated, and completely matte, making it perfect for daytime wear or as a post-shave balm.

Maracuja oil (Passionflower oil) is highly celebrated in modern cosmetic science for its incredibly high concentration of linoleic acid. It provides all the protective and anti-ageing properties of heavy oils but with a completely weightless, clean-skin feel. It supports the skin barrier while balancing the skin’s natural oil production.

Yes, and it is one of the better uses for it. The formula is fragrance-light and absorbs quickly, which is what freshly shaved skin wants rather than an alcohol-based balm.

During the daytime, your skin requires light, breathable support rather than a heavy nourishing cream. Our Botanical Day Cream is formulated specifically to create weightless, breathable support to the skin’s natural barrier function, to protect the skin against urban pollution and indoor air conditioning, keeping your skin's moisture levels  balanced until evening.

Yes, absolutely. The botanical matrix of this cream is explicitly tailored to calm irritation.  Calendula extract and jojoba seed oil have long been prized for helping soothe skin after shaving,easing  surface redness, and comforting sensitive skin, while Sandalwood provides natural, gentle calming support.

While our Botanical Day Cream is rich in antioxidant-dense plant botanicals like Calendula and Sandalwood that support the skin’s natural barrier which protects the skin from environmental oxidative stress, this cream does not contain UV filters and should be used alongside a broad-spectrum sunscreen during sun exposure if you plan to spend extended periods in direct, intense sunlight.

To deliver optimal hydration, a face cream must contain a water element. Any high-quality cosmetic product containing water requires a preservative to prevent the growth of bacteria over time. We use an incredibly minimal, Ecocert-approved blend of benzyl alcohol and dehydroacetic acid. These are gentle, safe, plant-derived compounds that preserve the product's integrity while soothing sensitive skin.

For everyday dryness and irritation, something thin, cooling and free of the usual irritants. Chickweed is the traditional botanical for it and chamomile the traditional companion, which is what this cream is built from. Persistent or spreading itch is worth a doctor’s opinion rather than a cream.
