You Have Questions
We have answers.
Most commercial lotions are 60-80% water. That water needs preservatives to stay stable, and it dilutes every active ingredient in the formula. Our body creams are anhydrous — meaning no water at all. Every ingredient is a working ingredient. No fillers, no preservatives, no emulsifiers to force oil and water together. Just concentrated organic oils, butters, and botanicals that go directly to work on your skin. A little goes a long way.
Our Dry/Normal formula prioritizes deep, lasting moisture with a rich blend of organic shea butter, jojoba oil, and coconut oil. The higher shea butter content provides a deep occlusive moisture barrier. Coconut oil contributes lauric acid which has natural antimicrobial properties and a deeply softening effect. Together they create a genuinely luxurious moisturizing experience designed for skin that needs more moisture, not less.
Scoop a small amount — about the size of a dime — and warm it between your palms before applying. Because the formula is concentrated, less is more. Apply to clean skin after showering for best absorption. The cream will feel rich initially and absorb fully over several minutes, leaving skin soft and nourished without a greasy residue.
Briefly, yes — and that's a good sign. The initial richness means the organic oils and butters are coating your skin barrier and getting to work. Give it a few minutes and it absorbs completely. The arrowroot powder and kaolin clay in our formula are specifically included to speed absorption and leave a smooth, non-greasy finish. If you're applying too much, try using less — a little goes further than you'd expect.
Juicy cherry up front, rose and jasmine in the middle, and something warm and woody underneath that makes you want to smell it again.
No — our body creams contain organic beeswax, which gives them their smooth, protective texture. They are not vegan. If you're looking for a vegan option, all of our bar soaps are 100% plant-based.
Each body cream comes in an 8 oz amber glass jar. The amber glass protects the formula from light degradation, and the glass jar is reusable and recyclable. At concentrated anhydrous formulas, 8 oz goes significantly further than a conventional lotion of the same size.
With daily use on hands and body, expect 4-6 weeks from a single jar — though this varies depending on how much you apply and which areas you focus on. Because the formula is concentrated, you need less than you would with a conventional water-based lotion.
We process and ship orders within 3-4 business days. Most packages arrive within 1 week of the ship date. You'll receive a tracking number by email once your order is on its way.
Yes — our creams are made in small handcrafted batches, so slight variations in texture and appearance are completely normal and do not affect quality or performance.
