Night Cream
My Night Cream is very popular. I use it every night, and sometimes during the day in winter. It absorbs well and makes my face feel hydrated. Unlike commercial creams, in the morning my face still feels hydrated, even when the heating is on.
A few people have told me that’s it’s like having a spa every day. They have been really impressed by how it takes that really tired and wrinkly look away almost instantly, especially when it is used with the seaweed serum I make.
The ingredients in my Night Cream are designed to intensify overnight repair of skin cells, increase hydration and offer longer term protection for the skin cells. They are used in all ways possible to maximise their presence, including oil infusions, hydrosols, essential oils and tinctures.
I spent a long time trying to work out how to integrate those expensive and really hydrating, repairing elements into my creams. Many of the standard commercial raw materials come from sources I was not happy to use because of their impact on the environment. Eventually, I worked out that everything I wanted is in carrageen moss, hand harvested from the West of Ireland, and I worked out to process it with excellent results. This gives a great hydration boost and contains many of those elements such as vitamin A and C, that boost collagen repair.
Over 70% of this cream is comprised of plant material from our garden. I feel really great about this. The other ingredients are sourced from as organic and ethical sources as possible, including the seaweed in it. This is important because many commercial sources of seaweed are destroying our kelp forests.
All my creams are packed with plant material and only have very ecological and mild preservative. This means they have a short life. So, once you hava cream, use generously and enjoy. Store in a cool place and out of direct sunlight to help them last a little longer.
