When applied to a clean damp face along with loving massage, you'll instantly notice the subtle scent, silky texture and effortless absorption. After first few applications, most women report reduced dryness and softer, calmer skin. With regular use, skin feels more consistently balanced and hydrated as the cream supports your skin’s natural ability to stay healthy, nourished.

Chamomile: Calms redness, soothes irritation, supports repair

Honey: Deeply humectant, locks moisture in, supports healing

Zinc oxide: Helps balance oil, protects barrier integrity

Shea butter: Rich emollient, skin barrier support & softness

Jojoba & Olive oils: Skin-friendly oils that mimic skin’s natural lipids

Chamomile + Geranium essential oils: Gentle botanicals to enhance balance and skin health

Use on a damp face (a mist or just-splashed water) so the ingredients penetrate deeper and lock in hydration.
Massage gently — the act of touch helps circulation & absorption.
Use it day or night. Many prefer it for daytime, but it works beautifully as a nighttime restorative treatment.
Bonus layering tip: apply face oil first (if that’s part of your routine), then a light layer of this cream to seal in the richness on dry zones.

Other uses include: applying it selectively to problem areas (under eyes, around nostrils), or even for cuticles, after-sun care, or calming rashes.

Feels Like Luxury

Glides on like satin and melts effortlessly into your skin. More than moisture, it’s comfort and confidence in a jar—your skin’s trusted companion that works where it’s needed most, keeping you soft, balanced, and nourished all day long.

Reliable Radiance

Through dry winters, shifting springs, and humid summers, this cream moves with you. It adapts to the seasons—of the year and of your life—always finding balance. Softens, soothe, and restore your natural glow, no matter what season you’re in.

Deeper Impacts

This cream has changed more than skin—it’s changed how women feel in their body. They speak of glow, yes, but also of peace, confidence, and joy. It’s more than a moisturizer; it’s a quiet reminder to trust your skin, and yourself, again.

The Story Behind our Face Cream

Our Chamomile Honey Face Cream was born when a customer asked me to create a lotion with honey, like the one she once cherished. I wanted more than a lotion — I wanted something women would reach for when they feel depleted.

This jar is more than skincare — it’s a reminder to yourself that you deserve care.

Frequently asked questions

Yes — although the cream is rich, it’s breathable. Zinc helps balance natural oils without suffocating the skin. Applying this cream along with loving massage ensures absorption into deeper layers of skin (rather then leaving it to sit ON the skin). Start with a smaller amount and adjust as your skin acclimates. Consider applying small amount to entire face then adding additional layer to any dry areas.

Organic fair-trade shea butter - rich emollient that supports the skin barrier and delivers softness.
Raw Muskoka honey - effective humectant, locks in moisture, supports healing.
Zinc oxide - helps balance oils, ensures moisture retention and protects barrier integrity.
Chamomile infused jojoba & olive oil (and chamomile essential oil) - gentle, soothing, calming, reduces redness and inflammation.

Generally no — many users find it light enough for summer humidity. If needed, use a thinner amount or pair with face oil only when dry zones require extra support.

This cream is designed specifically for dry, sensitive and/or mature skin that’s craving support—whether from seasonal stress (winter winds, summer humidity), barrier-weakness, redness or uneven texture. It’s formulated to work as both a rich day and night balm, making it versatile for morning and evening use.

Apply after cleansing and ideally on a slightly damp face (for example, after a mist/toner or splash of water) so the rich balm can lock in the moisture.
Massage gently into your skin—this not only spreads the product but encourages circulation and absorption.
Use it morning and/or night. Many people use it day and night; using it once daily still gives strong results.
Bonus: If you use a face oil as part of your ritual, you can apply oil first, then a light layer of this cream to seal in the nourishment
