Made from certified organic shea butter, certified organic sunflower oil, certified organic lavender essential oil, and certified organic frankincense essential oil, this light, whipped cream is perfect to use as face moisturizer after cleansing, lotion everywhere your skin needs extra nourishment and moisture.

Sunflower oil and shea butter both have 0 rating in terms of comedogenic ratings. This means that they will not clog your pores. Sunflower oil also penetrates your skin with oleic acid (omega-9 fatty acid) helping to maintain proper natural moisture levels, but it also has a thin viscosity and absorbs quickly so your skin is not left feeling greasy. Shea butter is much creamier and imparts long lasting moisture as it absorbs into your skin. A little goes a long way with this product!

Lavender essential oil has a flowery scent, well known for its historical association with aiding calmness. Some people even report that lavender helps them fall asleep easier than without lavender. There are also reported uses that it helps aid in skin healing, especially with things like minor scrapes and cuts. This oil also has a thin viscosity, helping speed skin absorption.

Frankincense essential oil has a lightly sweet and fresh earthy smell. Historically Frankincense has been used to aid in skin healing and regeneration and occasionally has been used in remedies for respiratory ailments. As with the other oils in this cream, it has a thin viscosity as well.

This cream makes an excellent daily moisturizer. A little goes a long way so you may accidentally use too much in the first few uses. If this happens, simply rub into your skin as best as you can and gently blot off the rest with a clean cloth or paper towel.  Lavender and frankincense essential oils combine to make a pleasing scent where neither component overpowers the other. Lavender has a myriad of historically assigned uses including help in speeding the healing of many skin issues, relieving migraines and headaches, anti-bacterial, anti-anxiety, even dizziness and nausea. Frankincense combines symbiotically to help enhance lavender’s qualities as well as to balance and complement the smell of lavender.
