Finding The Best Natural Moisturizer
Know Your Skin Type
Understanding your skin type is essential for selecting the right moisturizer. Normal skin generally requires lighter hydration, while dry skin craves more intense moisture. If your skin is easily irritated, itchy, or flaky, choose products made for sensitive skin to help soothe and nourish it. Not sure what your skin type is? Take our skincare quiz to learn about it!
Read the Ingredients Label
Ingredients matter in your skincare. Look for natural, gentle, and nourishing ingredients that provide hydration without causing irritation. We formulate our moisturizers with ingredients known for their soothing and moisturizing properties. This includes Aloe Vera, Jojoba Oil, Olive Squalane, Chamomile Extract, Allantoin, and Calendula!
Avoid Harsh Chemicals
Unfortunately, there are a lot of skincare products that contain harsh ingredients. These can aggravate sensitive skin and exacerbate existing skin conditions like Eczema and Psoriasis. Opt for moisturizers that are free from common irritants such as Parabens, Sulfates, Phenoxyethanol, and Petroleum Jelly.
Consider Specific Concerns
Different skin concerns require different solutions. If you're dealing with Eczema or Psoriasis, look for a moisturizer specifically formulated to address these conditions. Our Skin Calming Cream contains soothing ingredients such as Aloe Vera and Centella Asiatica to help relieve itching, redness and inflammation.
Our Full Cream Moisturizer is perfect for very dry, flaky, and itchy skin. This natural moisturizer contains Sweet Almond, Coconut, and Olive Oil to deeply hydrate and nourish skin. Our Skin Milk Udder Cream is an all-around-restoring formula to maintain the skin's health and integrity. It also contains our favourite ingredients for hydration like our Full Cream Moisturizer, however in a regular moisturizer consistency.
For those with sensitive skin but a preference for a lighter texture, our Fast Hydrating Lotion is the top pick. Despite being a lotion, we haven't skimped on ingredients. It has the usual skin-loving ingredients, along with Niacinamide (Vitamin B3) which strengthens the skin barrier and it's specifically designed to rub into the skin quickly and easily.
Our Soothing MSM Moisturizer with 10% MSM and Aloe Vera helps calm fussy, irritated skin. MSM, also known as organic sulphur, is a well-known, natural, skin-soothing compound. This is our natural moisturizer recommendation for anyone dealing with skin sensitivities, redness and minor irritations. For more major skin meltdowns, we recommend pairing it with our Skin Calming Cream to soothe the symptoms and help quickly bring it back to a healthy, calm condition.
We also make other natural moisturizers with additional properties to add to your sensitive skin routine and a Baby Soothing Moisturizer that does not contain nut oil which helps keep your baby's skin soft and smooth.
Multi-Taskers Get Extra Points
Choose products that do more than one thing to simplify your skincare routine. You can use our moisturizers on the whole family! You can also use them on both face and body.
Trial and Error
Finding the perfect moisturizer may require some trial and error. Do not get discouraged if you do not find success with the first product you try. Not every cream will work for everyone, which is why we have a variety of options. Try different formulations and textures until you find one that best suits your skin's needs.
Consult a Dermatologist and Nutritionist
So you've tried the above steps and your skin issue hasn't improved? This is when it's time to see a professional! Some skin conditions require short-term medications while removing certain food groups can relieve others. A nutritionist can help you develop a meal plan suited to supporting internal symptoms for the skin while a dermatologist can assess your skin and provide a tailored plan if need be.
