A Fragrance-Free Hydrating Cream of Chickweed & Calendula

Hydrating Cream is a fragrance-free, essential oil-free cream for dry and sensitive skin. Chickweed and calendula are blended with rice bran and sunflower oils and plant glycerin, which draws moisture into the skin. It absorbs rather than sitting on the surface, leaving dry, flaky skin feeling soft, calm and comfortable. Suitable for adults and children over three.

The Herbs

Hydrating Cream brings together soothing herbs and moisture-holding oils, with no essential oils or fragrance. Chickweed and calendula soothe and comfort dry, itchy skin, while rice bran oil, sunflower oil and glycerine draw in and hold moisture. Together they make a cream for deeply hydrated, comfortable skin, day and night.

To Soothe

Chickweed (Stellaria media): Traditionally used for its soothing, mucilage-rich nature, it forms a gentle protective layer that holds in moisture and eases itchy, dry skin.

Calendula (Calendula officinalis): A traditional nourishing herb valued for supporting healthy skin renewal and soothing irritated skin.

To Hydrate

Rice Bran & Sunflower Oils: A gentle, fatty-acid-rich base that absorbs smoothly and supports the skin's moisture barrier.

Plant-Based Glycerine: Draws in and holds moisture, keeping the skin hydrated, plump and resilient.

Texture & Scent

A soft, nourishing cream that absorbs comfortably into the skin. Unscented, with no essential oils or added fragrance.

One that has left out the essential oils as well as the synthetic fragrance, since botanical aromatics are themselves among the commonest causes of reaction. This cream contains neither.

It is formulated for dry, sensitive and eczema-prone skin, and leaving out fragrance and essential oils is the reason. It is a cosmetic moisturiser rather than a treatment for a diagnosed condition, and anything persistent is worth seeing a doctor about.

No. It is entirely free from essential oils, fragrances, and botanical perfumes, making it suitable for sensitive skin complexions.

Yes, it is safe for children over 3 years old.

Yes, they are designed to work together. Apply the Cooling Cream first to calm inflammation, followed by the Hydrating Cream to lock in essential moisture.

As often as the skin needs it. There is nothing active in it that builds up, so several times a day is fine.

Because it contains water. Benzyl alcohol and dehydroacetic acid, both permitted under the cosmetic regulations, at the minimum effective level. Without them the cream would not be safe to keep in a bathroom.

Yes, this cream is suitable for vegetarians & vegans.
