Handcrafted Ultra-Calm Moisturizing Kit

Created as a three-step routine, this handcrafted formula combines a silk cleanser, a hydrating mist, and an intense hydration cream.

Hyaluronic acid is regularly used to hydrate deeply and plump fine lines. Jojoba oil is frequently used to support hydration. Shea butter is usually used to soften dry skin and support the skin barrier. Vitamin C also helps brighten dull complexions. Vitamin E is also commonly used to protect lipid-rich skin and seal in hydration. Aloe vera and glycerin also act to support hydration. Avocado oil and sunflower oil also help soften dry skin and support the skin barrier. Panthenol, calendula, and lavender are also commonly used to calm and soothe irritated skin. White willow bark extract and rosemary also act to clarify blemish-prone skin and pores. Vitamin A palmitate also helps support mature skin. Xanthan gum, cetearyl alcohol, and lecithin are also commonly used to control thickness and stabilize the formula. DMAE, a synthetic compound, is commonly used for a temporary skin-firming and lifting effect.

Skin care engages touch at each step of a routine, and the step depends on the product. Cleansing products lift surface oils, debris, and bacteria from the skin (Aiello & Larson, 2002). Moisturizing products such as creams, lotions, and balms add emollients that soften the skin surface and help hold in hydration. Serums, masks, and treatments are applied to specific areas of the face, and the pressure of application adds to the sensation. Applying any of these products activates C‑tactile afferents, the nerve fibers that process pleasant touch (Löken et al., 2009; McGlone et al., 2014). Slow, massage‑like pressure is associated with reduced stress and relaxation (Field, 2010; Field, 2015), and warmth and absorption add to the sensation as the product meets the skin.

Anyone with a skin condition, allergies, or sensitivities should consult a physician or dermatologist before use.
