Laponie's Rich Face Cream is a nourishing, hydrating and heartier version of our best-selling Light Face Cream, with almost the same ingredients.
Despite the high oil content (the product's first ingredient is rapeseed oil, not water) the Rich Face Cream does not leave the skin feeling greasy. Swedish cosmetic-grade rapeseed oil and Fazer's Finnish oat oil produced as a side stream soften and condition skin, classic humectants glycerin and sodium PCA moisturise, and colloidal oatmeal prevents water from evaporating, leaving skin feeling hydrated and nourished.
The Rich Face Cream is great for dry and very dry skin, and for most skin types in winter.
Formulated for sensitive & problem skin. No added fragrance. Vegan & natural ingredients. Developed in our own Helsinki lab & made in Finland. Allergy-labelled.

Canola oil, aqua, avena sativa kernel oil, glycerin, sucrose stearate, avena sativa kernel flour, sodium pca, cyamopsis tetragonoloba gum, sodium dehydroacetate, caprylyl glycol, xanthan gum, lactic acid.
CANOLA OIL
Emollient and skin conditioning. Sustainably produced, deodorized and purified Swedish canola oil (from rapeseed oil) softens and protects the skin. Canola oil is commonly used in cosmetics and is well-tolerated, skin wise. It is slightly higher in oleic acid (at around 60%), with linoleic and alpha-linolenic acids at a total of just over 30%, making it a good all-around oil for most, and especially for drier and eczema prone skins.
AQUA
Solvent. Water.
AVENA SATIVA KERNEL OIL
Skin conditioning. Oat kernel oil. This dark golden oil has a nearly 50/50 balance of oleic and linoleic acids. From a skincare point of view, it's an excellent skin softener and has some calming properties too. We source our oat oil from Fazer, a Finnish family-owned, 126-year-old food and food service company, who produce their oil in Finland, using Finnish oats. The Finnish-ness matters because a) the soil in Finland produces outstanding quality oats and b) it is quite rare for an oil producer to have a 100% local supply chain. Markku, who is head of R&D at the oat mill in Lahtis, tells us he has personally eaten all oat products that Fazer makes – including the oil.
GLYCERIN
Humectant and skin protecting. Technically a sugar alcohol, glycerin is one of the oldest, most common and most versatile humectants used in cosmetics. It moisturises and protects the skin, accelerates skin barrier recovery and has antimicrobial properties, among other things. For our Cream we use vegetable, rapeseed-derived glycerin.
SUCROSE STEARATE
Emulsifying. A non-ionic surfactant sucrose stearate. Based on sucrose and vegetable fatty acids it also boosts skin hydration.
AVENA SATIVA KERNEL FLOUR
Skin protecting. Colloidal oatmeal. The whole oat grain, including the bran layer, is milled and sieved. This results in a light cream coloured, fine powder. The bran layer of the oat contains a high proportion of natural actives, including oat beta-glucan, avenanthramides, oil and protein, all of which are beneficial for cosmetic use on the skin. A 'colloid' or colloidal suspension is defined as a substance with dispersed insoluble particles suspended throughout. Colloidal oatmeal soothes and relieves redness, itching and minor skin irritations caused by eczema or skin rashes and is monographed by the FDA as a skin protectant. It reduces TEWL (transepidermal waterloss) and effectively forms a physical barrier on the skin surface. The oatmeal we use is made from Finnish oats.
SODIUM PCA
Humectant and skin conditioning. Sodium PCA is a widely used humectant in skincare. Chemically speaking an amino acid derivative, it is the sodium salt of pyroglutamic acid, which in turn is naturally present in human skin, and a part of the so-called NMF (natural moisturizing factor) of the skin. It has excellent moisture-binding capacity. The one we use made by the cyclization of beetroot derived L-glutamic acid. The sodium hydroxide used in the process is synthetic.
CYAMOPSIS TETRAGONOLOBA GUM
Thickening, gel forming and emulsion stabilising. Guar gum. A natural thickener extracted from the guar plant. Gives the Rich Face Cream its smooth finish and great spreadability.
SODIUM DEHYDROACETATE
Preservative. Sodium dehydroacetate is the sodium salt of dehydroacetic acid. It is chemically synthesized through a multi-step reaction, starting with acetylene. Although it is not plant derived, it is approved by natural certification institutes such as COSMOS and the Soil Association, thanks to its mildness on the skin and body as well as the absence of any alternative registered (approved) natural preservatives under the EU’s cosmetic regulation.
CAPRYLYL GLYCOL
Skin conditioning and humectant. Caprylyl Glycol is a humectant that can also boost or aid the preservation of cosmetic formulations. In our Rich Face Cream it functions as a preservative together with sodium dehydroacetate.
XANTHAN GUM
Thickening, gel forming and emulsion stabilising. A natural and commonly used mainly thickener and gelling agent in cosmetics, xanthan gum is a polysaccharide produced through Bacterial fermentation of pure culture Xanthomonas Campestris with protein and carbohydrate sources, in this case from soy or corn. In the Rich Face Cream, it is combined with guar gum for a ruch yet non-greasy feel.
LACTIC ACID
Buffering and skin conditioning. Lactic acid is a widely used pH bufferer in skincare.
