Herbal Support for Environmental Defence, Sebum Balancing & Lightweight Hydration
Our Botanical Day Cream is a sophisticated, daily moisturiser developed by our Medical Herbalists to provide breathable environmental protection and cellular hydration. During the day, the skin requires lightweight support that supports the skin’s natural barrier which offers protection against oxidative stress from urban pollution and dry indoor air without causing midday shine. Unlike some moisturisers that may feel heavy, this formula utilizes a light plant emulsion of rice bran and sweet almond lipids that contain properties similar to the skin’s natural structure , ensuring the cream absorbs directly into the epidermis.
This balm-to-cream hybrid soothes and calms the skin , particularly after cleansing or shaving, by cooling surface irritation and supporting the skin’s natural barrier. The inclusion of pure Sandalwood oil provides a grounding, modern aromatic ritual while offering natural astringent properties that gently refine skin texture throughout the day. The result is a refined, matte, and smooth finish that leaves the skin feeling clean, comfortable, and supported.
Key Botanicals at a Glance:
Maracuja Oil (Passionflower): Exceptionally rich in Linoleic Acid (Omega-6); it fortifies the barrier and supports the skin’s natural elasticity with a uniquely weightless, fast-absorbing feel.

Application Routine
The Morning Ritual: After cleansing, apply a small, pea-sized amount of the cream to your fingertips. Massage gently onto the face and neck using upward, circular motions, avoiding the immediate eye area.
The Perfect Grooming Partner: For those who shave, apply immediately after shaving to ease razor burn, calm redness, and support moisture to the skin barrier.
Layering with Oils: If using a concentrated face skincare product (such as our Sea Saviour Face Oil), apply 1–2 drops of the oil first. Allow it to absorb for a moment, then smooth this Day Cream over the top to support nutrient absorption into your skin.
Safety & Cautions
External Boundaries: For external topical application only. Do not apply to sensitive or broken skin.
Herbal Consultation: If you have an underlying medical skin condition, please consult one of our medical herbalists or your primary healthcare practitioner before use.
To maximise the optimal benefits of our Botanical Day Cream, our medical herbalists suggest adopting these simple daily habits:
Internal Hydration & Cellular Fuel
Maintain Cellular Hydration: Aim to drink at least 2 litres of water throughout the day. This ensures that the deep layers of the dermis remain plump, allowing your daytime cream to support the skin’s natural outer barrier.
Incorporate Healthy Omegas: Support your skin barrier from within by adding Omega-3 fatty acids to your daily diet. Excellent sources include flaxseeds, chia seeds, walnuts, and organic leafy greens or wild-caught fatty fish.
Environmental & Shield Habits
Mind Peak Sunlight: While the antioxidants in our botanical extracts support the skin’s natural protection against environmental stressors, this cream does not contain UV filters and should be used alongside a broad-spectrum sunscreen during sun exposure.
Weekly Skin Renewal: Use a gentle, non-abrasive exfoliation process once a week. Removing built-up surface cells ensures that the Maracuja and Jojoba oils in your day cream absorb well.
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.
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, 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.
Yes. Every component of our Botanical Day Cream is completely plant-derived, cruelty-free, and 100% suitable for both vegetarians and vegans.
