Finding the Perfect Moisturizer
If you’re like me, finding the right facial moisturizer can feel like a never-ending quest. Most creams I tried were either too oily or barely moisturizing at all—my skin would just drink them up and still feel dry. Some smelled off, while others smelled amazing but still didn’t deliver. And then there was the question of what exactly was in these products!
Once I started paying attention to the ingredients I was putting on my skin, I realized I wanted a solution that nourished without harmful chemicals—nothing that could potentially disrupt hormones or worse. That’s when my search for a truly clean, effective moisturizer really began.
Why Renew Cream Works
Renew Cream has earned a permanent spot in my nightly routine—and for good reason. First and foremost: the ingredients! Everything is recognizable, easy to pronounce, and, best of all, completely natural.
Beeswax
Beeswax! We all know it—just the wax bees produce to build their hives. Renew Cream uses yellow beeswax, which keeps its natural color and is minimally processed—only filtered to remove debris.
Beeswax does double duty: it forms a natural protective barrier on your skin while acting as a humectant, drawing in moisture. Together, these properties make it an incredible natural moisturizer.
Fun fact: beeswax has been used in skincare since ancient Egypt—so yes, Cleopatra definitely knew what she was doing!
Sweet Almond Oil
Next up is Sweet Almond Oil. We all know almonds are great for our diet, but their oil is a powerhouse for the skin too. Sweet Almond Oil is naturally anti-inflammatory, making it perfect for mornings when I wake up with a little puffiness or under-eye circles. It’s also an excellent emollient, helping to soften and soothe the skin.
At first, I worried that adding almond oil to a cream would make my skin greasy—but thanks to its fatty acids, it actually helps break down and remove excess oils. Who would have thought? Add oil to get rid of oil! Works for me every time.
Golden Jojoba Oil
One ingredient in Renew Cream that initially had me stumped was Golden Jojoba Oil—I wasn’t even sure how to pronounce it! But I quickly discovered that it’s packed with properties that make it a perfect addition to any moisturizing skincare routine.
Golden Jojoba Oil is a humectant, drawing water into the skin, and it also has natural antibacterial properties. On top of that, it’s rich in Vitamin E and hypoallergenic—exactly what I want in a cream I’m applying to my face every night before bedtime.
The Scent
Now, here comes the next best part—the scent! After the beeswax and sweet almond oil are blended, therapeutic-grade Lavender, Frankincense, and Cedarwood Atlas essential oils are added. Each oil complements the others perfectly, creating a soothing, relaxing aroma that isn’t overpowering. The mild, calming scent adds just the right touch to my nighttime routine, turning it into a little self-care ritual every evening.
Lavender Essential Oil
Lavender Essential Oil is a natural antibacterial agent that can help reduce acne outbreaks and even support the healing of certain skin conditions like eczema and psoriasis. It’s no wonder lavender is a favorite in so many skincare products, from Bath Soaks to Sugar Scrubs.
Beyond its skin benefits, the soothing, floral scent of lavender is something almost everyone loves—adding a calming touch to any skincare routine.
Frankincense Essential Oil
An unexpected but perfect partner in this nourishing blend is Frankincense Essential Oil. Its earthy notes beautifully enhance the floral aroma of Lavender while bringing a host of skin-loving benefits to the cream.
Did you know Frankincense is a natural astringent? That means it helps tone and tighten skin while also acting as a moisturizing agent. On top of that, it’s known for its rejuvenating properties, supporting the repair of acne scars and even stretch marks—making it a powerhouse addition to Renew Cream.
Cedar-wood Essential Oil
Cedar-wood Essential Oil was another ingredient that initially felt foreign to me, but it quickly became clear why it’s a perfect addition. With natural astringent and antiseptic properties, it rounds out the cream beautifully. Together, Lavender, Frankincense, and Cedar-wood create a trifecta that’s not only healing for the skin but also delightful for the senses. Each oil is known for its soothing scent and calming effects—making it possible that a little self-care at night could even help promote a better night’s rest.
More Than Just a Face Cream
I also use Renew Cream on my neck, dry elbows, knees, or anywhere else that needs a little extra hydration—and I know I won’t regret it. Winter is coming, and if you get dried, cracked cuticles like I do, it’s the perfect time to stock up.
Every time I open a jar, it lifts my spirits knowing I’m taking care of my skin—and that every jar helps others around the world, since 10% of all profits go to support people in need in developing countries.
No regrets. No worries. No dry skin.
