•Contains just 17 ingredients.
•Contains no added fragrance (and no essential oils or floral waters), no alcohol and no fatty alcohols (which can be irritating for sensitive faces in leave-on products).
•pH is around 5.5 (healthy skin's own pH is slightly acidic, between 4.8 and 5.5).
•Formulated with a gentle and skin-friendly preservative system. This means we've created a unique preservative system for the Cream, to minimise overlap with our other leave-one products, using gentle preservatives. In the Cream we've used the salt form of levulinic acid from sugarbeet together with natural anti-oxidants.
•The Cream’s mild and non-ionic plant-based emulsifier, polyglyceryl-6 distearate, is gentle on sensitive skin.
•Swedish canola oil is an excellent all-around oil for most skin types, especially for dry and eczema prone skin.
•Finnish oat oil calms irritated skin and leaves skin feeling soft, with a nearly matte finish.
•British poppy seed oil, which is also a side stream product, has excellent skin barrier recovery properties.
•Plant-based glycerine (from canola) is a well tolerated humectant that moisturises and protects skin, repairs skin barrier, slows down water-loss and has antimicrobial properties, and also helps cleanse skin.
•Sodium PCA is a powerful and classic skincare humectant: it has excellent water-binding capacity and it’s effective in reducing dryness and flakiness.
•Colloidal oatmeal soothes and relieves redness, itching and minor skin irritations, as well as eczema.
•The Cream has been rigorously tested by our founder Kristina and chemist Jaana, both of whom have a long history of sensitive and problem skin.
•Allergy-labelled by the Finnish Allergy, Skin and Asthma Federation.
