Skin Type Compatibility

How well this product works for different skin types

💧Dry Skin
8/10

Contains emollients (sunflower oil, beeswax) and humectants (glycerin) that help hydrate and protect dry skin. Lacks strong occlusives, so may not be sufficient for very dry or compromised skin.

🛢️Oily Skin
5/10

Contains several oils and waxes which may feel heavy or greasy on oily skin and potentially contribute to clogged pores. Not labeled oil-free.

🌸Sensitive Skin
7/10

Formulated with gentle ingredients and lacks common irritants like fragrance or alcohol, but beeswax and some emulsifiers may cause mild reactions in highly sensitive individuals.

⚖️Combination Skin
7/10

Balanced formula with both hydrating and emollient ingredients, but may be slightly too rich for oily zones and not rich enough for very dry patches.

🔴Acne-Prone Skin
5/10

Contains sunflower oil and beeswax, which are generally low comedogenic but may still pose a risk for clogging pores in acne-prone skin. Not specifically non-comedogenic.

Normal Skin
8/10

Well-suited for normal skin with a balanced mix of hydration and emollients, and a gentle, straightforward ingredient list.

Seasonal Usage Recommendations

How to use this product throughout the year

Winter

Apply the cream more frequently, especially after bathing and before going outdoors, to combat dryness from cold air and indoor heating. Consider using a slightly thicker layer for extra protection.

Spring

Continue regular use, applying morning and evening. If allergies cause skin irritation, this gentle moisturizer can help soothe and maintain the skin barrier.

Summer

Apply a light layer in the morning and after outdoor activities or bathing to replenish moisture lost from heat and sun. Pair with sun protection if spending extended time outdoors.

Fall

Begin increasing application as temperatures drop and air becomes drier. Use morning and evening to help skin adjust and prepare for winter conditions.

Enhanced Usage Instructions

Detailed usage guidance for different skin concerns and best practices

Usage by Skin Concern

💧
Dry Skin

Apply a generous layer (pea-sized amount) to clean, dry skin immediately after bathing to lock in moisture. Use morning and evening, and reapply as needed if skin appears flaky or tight. Focus on areas prone to dryness such as cheeks and forehead.

🛢️
Oily Skin

Use a small amount (half a pea-sized) once daily, preferably in the morning after cleansing. Apply a thin, even layer, avoiding over-application to minimize excess shine. Monitor for any increase in oiliness and adjust frequency if needed.

🌸
Sensitive Skin

Patch test on a small area before full use. Apply a thin layer (pea-sized) once or twice daily to clean, dry skin. Avoid rubbing; gently pat into the skin. Discontinue use if redness or irritation occurs.

⚖️
Combination Skin

Apply a pea-sized amount, focusing on drier areas (cheeks, around mouth) and using a lighter touch on oilier zones (forehead, nose). Use morning and evening, adjusting the amount based on skin needs.

🔴
Acne-Prone Skin

This cream is non-comedogenic but contains sunflower oil and beeswax, which may be occlusive for some. Use a small amount (half a pea-sized) once daily, preferably at night. Avoid applying to active breakouts. Discontinue if new pimples develop.

Usage Tips & Best Practices

Daily Use

Apply to clean, dry skin every morning after washing the face. For extra hydration, reapply in the afternoon if skin feels dry.

Night Use

Apply a slightly thicker layer at night after cleansing to support overnight skin barrier repair. Ensure skin is fully dry before application.

Frequency

Use 1–2 times daily, morning and/or evening. Adjust frequency based on skin’s hydration needs and response.

Amount

Use a pea-sized amount for the entire face. For very dry skin, a slightly larger amount may be used.

Best Time

Best applied after bathing or cleansing, when the skin is clean and slightly damp, to maximize moisture retention.
