Skin Fluff

Sebum isn’t just an “oil” that makes your face shiny—it’s an essential part of your skin barrier’s defence system**.** Too little sebum? Your skin is more prone to irritation and infections. Too much? It can mix with dead skin cells and clog pores, leading to breakouts. Skin Fluff takes on this balancing act with its carefully-selected ingredients, abundant in linoleic acid, which helps prevent sebum from getting too thick or sticky. And thanks to its alcohol and preservative free formula, your skin won't dry out soon after applying, but will stay hydrated all day long.

Skin Fluff is a WHIPPED moisturizer, giving it a ridiculously creamy texture. It makes the skin feel silky and plump, and the woodsy-fresh aroma from lavender, cedarwood, and amyris are calming and grounding. It’s perfect for those who want a moisturizer that feels light, but keeps the skin moisturized all day. It’s also a fantastic after-shave. 

Whipping the butters and oils creates a moisturizer that is light and airy to the touch. The aloe vera extract makes the moisturizer especially soothing during the summer months, when you’ve gotten a little too much sun, and gives a momentarily refreshing sensation as you spread it into your skin. Skin Fluff is the perfect every day cream for anyone who would like a lightweight moisturizer that keeps your skin feeling soft and moisturized throughout the whole day.

Skin Fluff is suitable for all skin types, because the notion of "skin types" is actually a myth. The actual root cause for oily and dry skin is very often the same. Some people get oily skin when their skin is dry and reacts by trying to overcompensate by overproducing sebum, while some people's skin reacts by just feeling downright dry. Oily and dry skin can both be results of dehydration, diet, hormones, genetics, stress, ... etc. But either way, whether your skin is prone to feeling dry, oily, or a combination, the nutrients we actually want and need are coming from oils, butters, and all-natural, nutrition rich ingredients. Everyone's skin could use some nutrient dense oils and butters , while nobody needs synthetic chemicals.

☁️ THE FEELS
This luscious cream feels like a cashmere baby blanket melting across your face as you apply it. The nutritious oils nourish and feed the skin. The aloe vera gel cools ever so slightly, while the creamy butters create a thin protective layer that makes skin & lips insanely soft.

😤 THE AROMA PROFILE
Skin Fluff is scented only with pure essential oils, like everything else in my shop. The classic Skin Fluff leads with a mellow lavender center, followed by notes of woodsy cedarwood and amyris.

🛠 HOW IT'S MADE
Skin Fluff is made by whipping mango & shea butter like whipped cream, along with a few very light, easily absorbed, non-comedogenic oils and essential oils to create this airy, nutritious dessert for the skin.

🍏 FRIENDLY TIP
Although Skin Fluff feels very light when applied, and is easily absorbed, because it is made purely with  butters and oils, you need to apply a way smaller amount at a time then you do when using regular creams, water-based moisturizers. So, for the best experience, start with a very tiny amount of Skin Fluff and apply more as needed! If you use too much at a time, it will just take longer for your skin to absorb it.

ABOUT THE INGREDIENTS

WATERMELON SEED OIL is known for its ultra light texture. It contains a high concentration of essential fatty acids, particularly linoleic acid, which plays a crucial role in balancing the skin's oil production. Linoleic acid helps regulate sebum production in the skin, preventing excess oiliness without stripping the skin of its natural moisture. Additionally, the oil is rich in vitamins, including vitamin E, which supports skin health and helps maintain its natural balance. Together, these nutrients work synergistically to keep oil production in check, promoting a more balanced and harmonious complexion.

Extracted from the seeds of the mango fruit, it is rich in essential fatty acids, particularly oleic acid and stearic acid, which deeply nourish and moisturize the skin without leaving a greasy residue. Additionally, mango butter is high in vitamins A and E, potent antioxidants that help protect the skin from environmental stressors and promote overall skin health. Its luxurious texture and mild aroma make it a delight to use, while its non-comedogenic nature ensures it won't clog pores, making it suitable for all skin types, from oily to acne-prone skin.

Why choose oil-based creams over water-based?
Although water-based creams may feel light and refreshing on the skin momentarily, there are a few ingredients in every water-based cream that need to be there for the cream to stay together and not go bad, but are actually really harmful for the skin.

Water-based creams tend to be recommended to oily skin because they are "lighter". But the truth is that the water part of the cream evaporates before it would even penetrate the skin, and the nutrients we need is coming from the oils, butters and extracts. It's great to use water and hydrolates on to refresh and clean the skin, but it's really not necessary for water to be in the cream. Adding water is sadly a cheap industry trick so they can fill a container with a cream that's 75% water and save some mula.

Many water-based creams (also shampoos and other products) have some kind of alcohol added, which gives you this refreshing hydrating feeling for a moment but then ends up drying the skin out more.
