Description
Description
Organic aloe leaf juice, organic sunflower seed oil and organic cocoa butter are the first three things in this jar. Water is tenth. That ordering is set by quantity, not by marketing, which makes it the most reliable thing on any label.
The firmness side comes from two marine ingredients — algae extract and Alteromonas ferment — rather than from collagen, which no cream can get into skin. Three plant waxes and a resin hold the texture together, with organic shea butter, watercress and elder. 99% natural origin, 26% organic, certified COSMOS Natural by Ecocert.
How to use
How to use
Two fingertips' worth, in the evening, after anything thinner has gone on. Let it soften against your skin for a second before you spread it — dense creams applied cold drag rather than glide.
Carry it down the neck and across the décolleté, both of which age visibly earlier than the face. Serums, retinoids and acids go on underneath; this is the layer that seals them in. Keep it clear of the eyes.
Who is it for?
Who is it for?
Mature and dry skin working on firmness, fine lines and a barrier that's had a hard time of it. What it's promising happens overnight and over weeks — not in the ten minutes after you put it on.
It's a rich cream and makes no apology for that, so oily skin will want something lighter. On the other hand it's one of the least fragranced things we make, with just two allergens declared. Gluten free and vegan.

How to use it
Two fingertips, in the evening
After anything thinner. Let it soften against your skin for a second before you start spreading.
Upwards and outwards
Not because it lifts anything, but because dragging downwards on skin every night helps nobody.
Neck and décolleté too
Both age faster than the face and both get ignored. Whatever's left on your hands goes there.
Firmness claims work on a scale of weeks. Judge it after a month, not after a night.
The collagen question
Plenty of firming creams list collagen. Here's what that ingredient can and can't do once it's on your face.

| What the firmness claim rests on | Algae extract and Alteromonas ferment | Collagen too large to enter skin | Nothing specific |

What's inside and why it's there
Thirty-four ingredients. Ecocert Greenlife certifies this to COSMOS Natural: 99% natural in origin, 26% organically farmed. Organic watercress and elder fruit, vitamin E and an oil-soluble vitamin C. Vegan, gluten free, GMO free, recyclable packaging.
Algae Extract + Alteromonas Ferment
Two separate marine ingredients, both well established in firming formulas. They're what the cream's claims actually rest on — which is worth knowing, because the word on the front of the jar isn't in the jar.
Organic Aloe, Sunflower + Cocoa Butter
All three organically farmed, and all three above the water at tenth. Organic shea butter follows at ninth. That's a lot of jar spent on things other than the cheapest ingredient available.
Three Waxes and a Resin
Sunflower seed wax, Japan wax and sal resin, with olive oil unsaponifiables alongside. They give a night cream enough body to stay on your face rather than your pillowcase.
Questions people ask before buying
No — and there's a reason for that. Collagen molecules are far too large to cross into skin, so a cream containing them leaves it sitting on the surface. It's animal-derived as well, which would rule it out of a vegan formula. What does the work here is marine: algae extract and Alteromonas ferment.
Skin that feels supple rather than tight, looks smoother, and holds its hydration better through the day. Firmness claims in cosmetics are about appearance — nothing topical changes the structure underneath. Give it a month before judging.
You should. Both show ageing earlier than the face does and both get neglected, usually because people run out of cream at the jawline and stop there.
For oily skin, yes — we'd send you to something lighter rather than argue. For mature or dry skin it's pitched about right, though give it a few nights. Dense creams often feel like a lot on night one and like the right amount by night four.
Yes, and that's the right order. Treatments go on first, this goes over them. A well-fed barrier is a large part of why people tolerate a retinoid at all.
Because nine other things are present in greater quantity. Ingredient lists run from most to least, so the position of the Aqua is a straightforward measure of how much of a cream is water — and most moisturisers lead with it.
Texture. Butters, waxes and a resin make for a cream that sits too heavily under make-up and sunscreen, but suits the hours when nothing else needs to go on top of it. There's no SPF in it either, which settles the question on its own.
Gentle. Water lily and white jasmine with a little peppermint and vanilla, and only two allergens on the label — terpineol and linalyl acetate. That's among the shortest lists in our range.
Vegan and cruelty free — helped considerably by there being no collagen in it — and gluten free too. No GMO ingredients, recyclable packaging. Certified to COSMOS Natural by Ecocert Greenlife at 99% natural origin and 26% organic.
Underneath it
Treatments first, this last. It's the layer that keeps everything else where you put it.
5% Urea + 2% Panthenol Body Cream
