Bright Light Cream

Description

Bright Light Cream is my handmade face and body cream for normal to combination skin, with aloe vera, watermelon seed oil and shea butter, in a fresh evergreen and lime blend of black spruce, lime, rosemary, sweet fennel and peppermint.

Bright is crisp, green and wide awake - a lovely one for dark mornings. Watermelon seed oil is one of the lightest oils I use, so it sinks in fast and never feels heavy.

It's whipped and light, absorbs quickly, and isn't sticky or greasy - light enough for your face under make-up, nourishing enough for hands, legs and feet.

Made for you if...

• your skin is normal to combination
• you want something very light that sinks in fast
• you love fresh, green, outdoorsy scents
• you want one cream for face, body, hands and feet
• you don't like the feel of heavy, greasy creams

Not quite you? Try Cloud (unscented, for sensitive or very dry skin), Lotus (dry or tight skin) or Peach Tea (normal to combination, suitable in pregnancy). Want the matching deodorant? Try Bright Deo Cream. Still deciding? Start with the 10g trial tin.

Ingredients and what they do

• Aloe vera leaf juice - a fresh, light base in place of some of the water
• Watermelon seed oil - one of the lightest oils, so it absorbs quickly
• Golden jojoba oil - very close to skin's own oils, so it absorbs easily
• Shea butter - soothing and nourishing
• Black spruce, lime, rosemary, sweet fennel and peppermint essential oils - the fresh Bright scent

Because it's water based, it contains a gentle preservative to keep it safe to use. Like every other ingredient, it's listed below - nothing hidden.

Full ingredients (INCI): Aqua (water), Aloe Barbadensis (aloe vera) Leaf Juice, Citrullus Vulgaris (Watermelon) Seed Oil, Simmondsia Chinensis (jojoba) Seed Oil, Butyrospermum Parkii (shea) Butter, Cetearyl Olivate, Sorbitan Olivate, Cetyl Alcohol, glycerin, Tocopherol (vitamin E), Picea Mariana (black spruce) Leaf Oil, Citrus Aurantifolia (lime) Peel Oil, Rosmarinus Officinalis (rosemary) Leaf Oil, Foeniculum Vulgare Dulce (sweet fennel) Fruit Oil, Mentha Piperita (peppermint) Oil, Benzyl Alcohol, Salicylic Acid, Sorbic Acid, Citric Acid, Sodium Benzoate, Potassium Sorbate

How to use

1. Scoop a small amount out of the tin with clean, dry fingers.
2. Warm it between your fingertips and smooth it over your face and neck.
3. Take a moment - cover your face with your hands, breathe in, breathe out.
4. Use what's left on hands, cuticles, elbows, legs or feet - anywhere that feels dry.

Use it morning and night. It sits nicely under make-up.

How long does a tin last? A 50g tin used just on your face lasts around 1-2 months. Used all over it goes faster, so the 150g tin is the one for all-over use and families.

Once opened: safe to use for 12 months, and at its freshest within 3-6 months. Store somewhere cool, out of direct sunlight.

Suitability

• Made for normal to combination skin
• Not suitable during pregnancy or breastfeeding - choose Cloud, Peach Tea or Flora Light Cream instead
• Scented with pure essential oils - no synthetic fragrance

As with any new skincare, patch test first and avoid broken skin.
