Even before the addition of the plant extracts and essential oils the base itself is food for dry skin. Lanolin, Almond oil and Peanut oil are three of the main ingredients of the base. Lanolin, chemically, is almost identical to sebum, the natural oil produced by the skin. It is therefore an ideal substance to ‘feed’ to dry skin. Both Almond and Peanut oil soften and soothe the skin and also assist in the penetration of other soothing, rejuvenating ingredients.

Skin Food can be used as a nourishing day and night cream. It is good for rough, dry skin anywhere on the body; face, hands, elbows, knees etc. It can be used as a protective cream in harsh weather and is excellent for anyone regularly out of doors.

Directions for use:  A little goes a long way, so apply sparingly.  This very rich cream is best applied to the face by gently patting on so as to avoid dragging the skin.  Elsewhere on the body gently smooth into the skin until the cream is absorbed.  To deeply nourish hard working, dry hands: apply liberally, cover with cotton gloves and leave overnight.

The ingredients are 100% natural (BDIH certified) and include extracts of organic chamomile, calendula and wild pansy to soothe rough skin, and revitalising rosemary to revitalize dull complexions.  This deep-penetrating cream is ideal for dry patches on the face, or the body such as the elbows.  It contains natural plant oils and waxes known for their richness and gentleness.
