◽️This cream has a medium thickness and a smooth texture, with almost unnoticeable scent of ingredients. Goes in a frosted glass jar (or at least it looks like glass) with a spatula and a special compartment for it.
◽️It leaves a silky and richly nourishing finish, which might not suit those who prefer light textures. Personally, I like such rich but not heavy creams for the PM routine despite my oily skin type, because I often use retinoids and acids.
◽️Provides soft, smooth and bouncy skin, the brand calls this effect ‘mochi’ (like the Japanese rice cake) 🙂
◽️Suitable for skin prone to dryness or dehydrated combi skin.
📌KEY INGREDIENTS:
◽️Perilla Ocymoides Leaf/ Stem Oil (Japanese Shiso, ‘Wild basil’) - contains over 50% alpha-linolenic acid (omega-3 fatty acid), which repairs and protects aging skin, has antioxidant, healing and anti-inflammatory properties.
◽️Sunflower Seed Oil, Shea Butter - help maintain the skin barrier.
◽️Salix Alba Bark Extract - soothes irritated skin, fights inflammation and has antioxidant properties.
◽️Behenyl Alcohol - a fatty alcohol that works as an emulsifier and helps form this pleasant silky texture.
◽️Humectants (Glyceryn, Butylene Glycol, Pentylene Glycol, Diglycerin).
◽️Free of Fragrance & Essential oils.
◽️I wish it also contained physiological lipids and more humectants (like amino-acids, Trehalose, Betain or Beta-Glucan) given its price (48$ on the official website).
