Anua 70 INTENSE CALMING CREAM 50ML

Values You Can Trust: 100% Genuine | Fragrance-Free | Pregnancy-Safe | Cruelty-Free*

If your skin stings when you apply a basic moisturizer — that burning is not "sensitivity." It is your stratum corneum asking for lipid repair. This cream provides the immediate physical scaffolding your skin needs while the heartleaf down-regulates the inflammatory response.

If your skin feels oily on the surface but tight underneath, you are dehydrated-oily — not simply oily. Your skin is overproducing sebum to compensate for water loss. This product addresses the underlying dehydration by sealing the barrier, which organically reduces surface oiliness over time.

Pros: Delivers instant relief for compromised barriers; locks in watery layers exceptionally well in AC environments; fragrance-free formulation minimizes contact dermatitis risk.

Caveats: Contains Macadamia Seed Oil and Beeswax, which makes it unsuitable for fungal acne. Can feel too heavy for true oily skin types during the peak of Mauritian summer humidity if used in the AM.

*Brand states cruelty-free, but sells products in Mainland China where post-market animal testing may be required by law. Cross-border e-commerce sales may be exempt.

That grimy feeling in Mauritius heat is not always dirt — it is sebum and sweat doing their biological jobs. Washing more than twice daily strips your acid mantle (target pH 4.5-5.5), which triggers compensatory sebum overproduction, creating the very oiliness you are trying to eliminate.

This cream actively breaks the cycle by providing exogenous lipids (Ceramide NP and plant oils) that signal to your sebaceous glands that the surface is sufficiently lubricated. Once the skin recognizes it is protected, it stops over-producing emergency sebum.

Highly compatible with low-energy days. It requires no rinsing, no complex wait times, and no precise droplet measurements. It can be kept on your bedside table and applied with clean hands.

Qualifies perfectly for a "minimum viable routine." On nights when a full multi-step regimen is impossible, simply wipe your face with micellar water and apply a generous layer of this cream to ensure your skin does not lose hydration overnight.

Step 1: Use AM and PM as the final moisturizing step of your routine (before SPF in the morning).

Step 2: Dispense a pea-sized to blueberry-sized amount depending on your skin's current dryness.

Step 3: Massage gently into slightly damp skin to lock in maximum hydration.

Introduce this as the ONLY new product in your routine. Wait a full 14 days before adding anything else. This isolation window ensures you can identify whether any reaction is caused by this specific product.

1. Water rinse or gentle cleanser.

2. Hydrating Toner or Heartleaf Essence.

3. Antioxidant or Soothing Serum.

4. Anua 70 Intense Calming Cream.

5. Broad-spectrum SPF50+.

In Mauritius morning humidity, humectants work exceptionally well because they draw water from the humid air. If you spend your day outdoors, apply a very thin layer of this cream. If you work in an air-conditioned office, apply a standard layer to prevent the AC from extracting your dermal water.

1. Oil Cleanser or Micellar Water (to remove SPF/makeup).

2. Gentle Water Cleanser.

3. Hydrating Toner.

4. Treatment Serum (Retinoid or Acid, depending on your cycle).

5. Anua 70 Intense Calming Cream.

This cream serves as an excellent buffer for retinoids. If you experience irritation from your retinol, apply this cream first, wait 5 minutes, then apply your retinoid on top. This "sandwich method" reduces the penetration speed of the active without negating its benefits.

Pat or press the cream into your skin rather than aggressively rubbing it. Friction degrades formulations and increases mechanical irritation on already sensitized skin.

Apply to slightly damp skin. Because this product contains significant occlusives (Beeswax, Macadamia Oil), applying it over damp skin physically traps the water molecules beneath the lipid layer, maximizing hydration.

Wait 60 seconds before applying sunscreen. This allows the emulsion to set and reduces the risk of your SPF pilling or sliding off in the heat.

This is an encyclopedia map of all product types. You do not use all of these daily. You select modules based on your skin state.

Viscosity ladder: thinnest → thickest; water-phase before oil-phase; treatments before seals.
Wait-time defaults: watery layers 10-20s; serum layers 30-60s; before sunscreen 10-15 min if going outdoors or applying makeup.

Amount defaults (unless brand-specific instructions override):
Watery toner/essence: 5-8 drops per layer (or "coin-size puddle in palm")
Serum/ampoule: 2-3 drops or 1 pump (face), add +1 drop for neck if used
Eye product: ½ rice-grain per eye (very small)
Gel moisturizer: 1 pea-1.5 peas; Cream: 1-2 peas
Occlusive seal: rice-grain to pea-size max (thin film)
Sunscreen: 2-finger rule for face; +1 finger for neck

Skin state rules:
Hydrators (toners/essences/HA): best on slightly damp skin.
Retinoids: best on fully dry skin; if sensitive, wait 10 minutes after cleansing.
Exfoliating acids: apply to dry or lightly damp depending on irritation; keep to one lane.
Hard cap rule: If routine pills, stings, or feels heavy → reduce layers, not increase.

AM (maximum map):

• Rinse / Gentle Cleanse (optional) - Amount: 1-2 pumps (or pea-size gel). Wait: rinse, pat to slightly damp (don't fully dry unless using LAA or retinoid later). Use when: oily waking skin, heavy night occlusion, or sweat buildup.
• pH-Prep / Balancing Toner (optional) - Amount: 5-8 drops (hands). Wait: 10-20s. Purpose: comfort + reduce tightness; not mandatory.
• Hydrating Toner Layers (1-3 layers, optional) - Amount: 5-8 drops per layer. Wait: 10-20s between layers. Rule: in high humidity, often 1 layer is enough.
• Essence (optional) - Amount: 5-8 drops. Wait: 10-20s. Note: choose either toner layering or essence stacking if you pill easily.
• Mist / Thermal Water (optional micro-step) - Amount: 1-2 light sprays. Wait: 10s. Use for: re-dampening between hydrating layers (avoid soaking).
• Booster / Soothing Serum (optional) (Centella/panthenol/barrier-support) - Amount: 2-3 drops / 1 pump. Wait: 30-60s. Best for: redness, sensitivity, post-acne inflammation.
• Antioxidant Lane (optional, choose ONE) - Option A: L-Ascorbic Acid Vitamin C serum. Skin state: dry skin (reduces irritation). Amount: 2-3 drops. Wait: 1-3 minutes before next step. Option B: Gentler antioxidant (derivatives, EGCG, ferulic, etc.). Skin state: damp or dry. Wait: 30-60s. Rule: pick one antioxidant product, not two.
• Pigment Support Lane (optional, choose ONE) (TXA / arbutin / alpha-arbutin / azelaic if AM-tolerated) - Amount: 2-3 drops / 1 pump. Wait: 30-60s. Dependency: pigmentation routines fail without daily SPF.
• Hydration Serum Lane (optional) (HA / polyglutamic acid / beta-glucan) - Skin state: slightly damp. Amount: 2-3 drops. Wait: 30-60s. Seal rule: must be sealed with moisturizer, especially if spending long hours in AC.
• Oil-Control / Sebum-Regulating Lane (optional, choose ONE) (niacinamide / zinc / succinic) - Amount: 2-3 drops. Wait: 30-60s. Rule: if using strong actives elsewhere, keep this gentle.
• Peptides / Growth-Factor / Repair Lane (optional) - Amount: 2-3 drops. Wait: 30-60s. Conflict note: if you use pure LAA, keep peptides in PM if sensitive.
• Eye Serum/Cream (optional) - Amount: ½ rice-grain per eye. Wait: 10-20s. Placement: before moisturizer (unless very thick eye balm).
• Moisturizer (gel-cream or cream) - Amount: gel 1-1.5 peas / cream 1-2 peas. Wait: 1 minute before sunscreen if pilling-prone. Climate rule: humid climate often prefers gel textures.
• Optional Sealing Layer (only if dry/AC) (thin occlusive) - Amount: rice-grain to pea-size max. Wait: 1-2 minutes. Avoid if: clog-prone, oily, or fungal-risk.
• Sunscreen SPF50+ PA++++ (non-negotiable) - Amount: 2-finger rule face (+1 finger neck). Wait: 10-15 minutes before makeup/outdoor sweat. Reapply: every 2 hours of sun exposure.
• Lip SPF (optional but ideal) - Amount: 1 swipe, reapply like sunscreen.

In AM, prioritize comfort + SPF adherence over stacking. In high humidity, fewer layers often perform better.

PM (maximum map):

• Micellar (optional pre-cleanse) - Amount: enough to saturate cotton; gentle swipe. Use when: heavy makeup, stubborn sunscreen, or sensitive to double cleanse oils.
• Oil Cleanser / Balm (if SPF/makeup) - Amount: 1-2 pumps (or grape-size balm). How: massage on dry skin 30-60s → add water to emulsify until milky → rinse. Wait: proceed immediately.
• Water Cleanser (second cleanse) - Amount: 1-2 pumps. How: gentle 30-60s, rinse. Skin state after: choose fully dry if using retinoids; otherwise slightly damp is fine.
• pH-Prep Toner (optional) - Amount: 5-8 drops. Wait: 10-20s. Use for: comfort, reduce tightness.
• Hydrating Toner Layers (1-3 layers, optional) - Amount: 5-8 drops per layer. Wait: 10-20s. Rule: stop early if you start to feel tacky.

• [Anua 70 Intense Calming Cream] - Amount: cream 1-2 peas. Wait: 30-60 seconds before any final seals.
• Sleeping Mask (optional) - Amount: thin layer (pea-size to grape-size depending on texture). Use when: dry, dehydrated, or barrier-support nights.
• Occlusive Seal (optional; avoid if clog-prone) - Amount: rice-grain to pea-size max. Use when: very dry/AC-heavy lifestyle or barrier repair phase.
• Spot Treatment / Pimple Patch (as needed) - Spot gel: rice-grain amount only on lesion. Patch: apply on clean, dry skin; press 5 seconds.
• Lip Sleeping Mask (optional) - Amount: thin swipe.

Do not layer retinoids with AHA/BHA in the same night; keep 'one lane' per night.

One-lane rule: Retinoid OR Exfoliation OR Strong Vitamin C (LAA) OR Acne-control active per routine; barrier/hydration can always accompany. If unsure: default to the safest lane = barrier/hydration, and reduce layers.

Occupies Rung 4 on the Viscosity Ladder (thick cream tier). It must be applied after all water-thin toners, light fluid essences, and medium serums, but before facial oils or heavy occlusive ointments.

This is an emulsion formula combining a robust water phase (70% heartleaf extract) with a sealing lipid phase (macadamia oil and beeswax). Always apply from thinnest (water-based) to thickest (oil-based) to ensure optimal penetration.

Because it acts as a structural sealant, applying water-based serums over this cream is ineffective, as the lipids will physically block hydrophilic molecules from reaching the stratum corneum.

Before starting this product, your routine MUST already include: a gentle cleanser and a broad-spectrum sunscreen. Without these foundations, attempting to repair your barrier is counterproductive.

If your skin stings on moisturizer, feels tight within 30 minutes of cleansing, or shows visible flaking — your barrier is below threshold. This cream is specifically formulated as the primary intervention for this state.

Compromised Barrier: Ceramide NP and Macadamia Oil physically patch micro-cracks in the stratum corneum, halting transepidermal water loss (TEWL).

Inflammation and Erythema: 70% Houttuynia Cordata (Heartleaf) extract contains quercitrin, which down-regulates inflammatory cytokines to rapidly reduce heat and surface redness.

Cannot physically shrink pores or lift sagging skin. It cannot clear active acne infections, though it can soothe the surrounding inflamed tissue to reduce the appearance of angry breakouts.

• SKIN1004 Madagascar Centella Ampoule: Layer the ampoule beneath this cream for a double-action soothing effect. The Centella addresses internal vascular redness while this cream seals the surface. Use AM/PM.
• Anua Heartleaf Quercetinol Pore Deep Cleansing Foam: A paired cleansing approach that utilizes the same Heartleaf active to prepare the skin without stripping it. Use PM.
• IsNtree Hyaluronic Acid Watery Sun Gel: Provides a lightweight hydrating UV shield over this cream without adding additional heavy occlusion. Use AM.

Pilling risk increases heavily if applied over thick silicone-based serums. Allow watery serums to dry completely for 60 seconds before massaging this cream to mitigate product roll-off.

Chronic stress elevates cortisol, which breaks down collagen, increases TEWL, triggers inflammatory acne, and compromises barrier function. The resulting "stress skin" is highly reactive to environmental triggers.

This cream operates as a direct countermeasure to cortisol-induced barrier breakdown. The high concentration of Heartleaf immediately interrupts the inflammatory cascade, while the ceramides replace the lipids that stress-impaired skin fails to synthesize naturally.

Status: Film-Forming (uncertain permeability).

Because this formulation relies heavily on beeswax and occlusive plant oils, it creates a substantive film on the skin designed specifically to resist water loss. This creates doubt regarding water permeability during ablution.

We recommend using a gentle cleanser to ensure complete removal prior to performing Wudu. Adilsons provides this assessment based on the product's physical properties. Rulings on wudu validity vary between scholars. Consult your own trusted Islamic authority.

MYTH: 'Thick creams will instantly cause acne breakouts.' REALITY: While certain occlusives can trap dead skin cells, a compromised barrier is a far greater driver of acne. Repairing the barrier with a structured cream often reduces breakouts by halting systemic inflammation.

MYTH: 'Botanical extracts are always gentler than lab-synthesized chemicals.' REALITY: Plant extracts contain hundreds of complex compounds that can trigger allergies. Heartleaf is generally well-tolerated, but natural does not inherently mean non-reactive.

In air-conditioned environments, this product is highly beneficial. The beeswax and macadamia oil act as a physical shield, preventing the low-humidity AC air from drawing moisture out of your deeper skin layers.

Full INCI List: Houttuynia Cordata Extract (70%), Cetearyl Alcohol, Glycerin, Macadamia Integrifolia Seed Oil, Butylene Glycol, Beeswax, Cetyl Ethylhexanoate, Aqua, [--- Estimated 1% Line ---] 1,2-Hexanediol, Hydrogenated Lecithin, Ceramide NP, Panthenol, Squalane, Arginine, Carbomer, Cellulose Gum, Phytosteryl/Octyldodecyl Lauroyl Glutamate, Ethylhexylglycerin, Disodium EDTA.

The preservative system utilizes 1,2-Hexanediol and Ethylhexylglycerin, avoiding traditional parabens or phenoxyethanol, which benefits hyper-reactive skin states.

Fragrance Status: Fragrance-Free. No essential oils or synthetic masking fragrances are used in this formulation.

Scent Description: Faint earthy, herbal scent inherent to the 70% Heartleaf extract. This is natural ingredient aroma and not an added fragrance.

EU 26 Allergen Screen: None detected in declared INCI. Alcohol-Free; utilizes fatty alcohols (Cetearyl Alcohol) which are moisturizing and emollient, not drying or stripping.

Halal Status: Halal-Friendly.*

Vegan Status: Not Vegan. Contains Beeswax.

Cruelty-Free Status: Cruelty-Free.*

*Self-assessed by Adilsons based on available INCI data. No ethanol from fermentation, no porcine-derived ingredients, and no haram animal-derived ingredients detected in the declared ingredient list. This is NOT a formal Halal certification. Muslims with stricter requirements should consult their own scholars.

*Brand states cruelty-free, but sells products in Mainland China where post-market animal testing may be required by law. Cross-border e-commerce sales may be exempt.

MFDS Classification: General Cosmetic. This product does not contain government-regulated functional percentages of whitening or anti-aging actives, focusing entirely on structural barrier repair.

Evidence Confidence: Medium. While Ceramides and Panthenol have overwhelmingly strong clinical backing for barrier repair, the clinical efficacy of topical Heartleaf is primarily supported by in-vitro studies and traditional medicinal usage.

*Clinical evidence for Heartleaf is based largely on in-vitro (lab cell) studies only. In-vivo (human skin) results may differ. This does not mean the ingredient is ineffective — it means the evidence tier is lower.

Fungal Acne Safety: FA-Unsafe. Contains Macadamia Integrifolia Seed Oil and Cetearyl Alcohol, which act as lipid food sources for the Malassezia yeast responsible for fungal acne.

Pilling Assessment: Medium.

Because this formula contains high-molecular-weight structural components (Beeswax, Carbomer), applying it too forcefully over unabsorbed water-based serums can cause the underlying polymers to ball up.

Mitigation: Ensure all previous layers are completely absorbed. Apply this cream using a pressing/patting motion rather than aggressive swiping to maintain the integrity of the layers beneath.

Fresh Baseline: Opaque white, thick cream consistency with a faint herbal aroma.

Storage in Mauritius: Store away from direct sunlight and severe heat. While stable at room temperature, prolonged exposure to high ambient heat (e.g., leaving it in a hot car) can cause the emulsion to split, separating the plant oils from the water phase.

Spoilage Signs: If the cream separates into oil and water, develops a rancid/sour odor, or changes to a yellow/brown hue, discard immediately. When in doubt, discard.

Patch Test: Apply a small amount to the inner forearm for 24 hours. If clear, apply behind the ear for another 24 hours. Only then begin full facial application.

If you experience an adverse reaction: STOP ALL ACTIVES. For 72 hours, use ONLY a gentle cleanser + plain moisturizer + mineral SPF. NO acids, retinoids, Vitamin C, exfoliants, or essential oils. After 72h, reintroduce ONE product per 14 days.

Emergency Stop Signals: Hives, severe swelling, blistering, persistent burning, breathing difficulty (seek emergency medical care immediately).

1. Over-applying. Because it is rich, applying too much physically traps excess heat in the skin, which can paradoxically increase redness in hot climates.

2. Using on dry, un-prepped skin. Occlusives need water to trap. Applying this to bone-dry skin seals in dryness. Always apply over a hydrating toner or damp skin.

3. Combining with heavy facial oils. This cream already contains significant lipid content; adding more oil causes the emulsion to overwhelm the pores.

Volume: 50ml. Recommended amount per use: 0.5ml to 1ml. Uses per container: approximately 50 to 100 applications.

At recommended daily PM dosage: approximately 90 days (3 months). At common overdosing (using as a thick sleeping mask nightly): depletes in approximately 30 days. Correct dosage is better for your skin AND extends product life.

Reorder in approximately 2.5 months. We recommend reordering 2 weeks before estimated depletion to account for shipping time.

The ultimate barrier-rebuilding stack for compromised skin.

Anua 70 Intense Calming Cream acts as the structural seal, locking in hydration while providing Rung 4 viscous protection.

AM Routine:
1. Water rinse (skip cleanser if barrier is damaged).
2. SKIN1004 Madagascar Centella Ampoule (2-3 drops, wait 60s).
3. Anua 70 Intense Calming Cream (1 pea size, wait 10 mins).
4. IsNtree Hyaluronic Acid Watery Sun Gel (2 fingers).

PM Routine:
1. Anua Heartleaf Quercetinol Pore Deep Cleansing Foam (gentle wash).
2. SKIN1004 Madagascar Centella Ampoule (2-3 drops, wait 60s).
3. Anua 70 Intense Calming Cream (1.5 peas, massage and pat).

If you are in AC all day, apply a slightly thicker layer in the AM routine to compensate for moisture extraction.

If you are in your luteal phase and experiencing increased sebum production, skip the AM application of this cream and rely only on your sunscreen for moisture.

After purchasing, you will receive our skincare education email series covering this product in depth.

The recommendations above are based on formulation synergy with Anua 70 Intense Calming Cream, not on margin or stock levels. If a pairing does not exist in our catalog, we say so. If you already own a product that fills the same role, use what you have first.

If your skin requires intense soothing and repair but you are extremely prone to fungal acne or congestion, this cream's macadamia oil and beeswax may be problematic.

Alternative: Dr.Althea 345 RELIEF CREAM. It provides exceptional barrier relief and redness reduction with a much lighter, gel-cream texture that is often better tolerated by truly oily or acne-prone skin in high humidity.

Choose Anua 70 Intense Calming Cream over Dr.Althea 345 Relief Cream if you need superior lipid replacement: its thicker, occlusive base physically seals chronic water loss better for genuinely dry or dehydrated skin.

• Upgrade to THIS if your skin feels tight and "ashy" by mid-day → Reason: deeper lipid depletion requires structural repair → Gain: sustained physical moisture seal.
• Upgrade to THIS if you are using strong prescription retinoids → Reason: retinoids degrade the lipid barrier rapidly → Gain: intensive overnight lipid replenishment.
• Upgrade to THIS if you experience thermal shock flushing moving from AC to heat → Reason: Heartleaf instantly down-regulates heat-induced erythema → Gain: faster visible calming.

This cream sits squarely in the Barrier Support lane. If you already run a retinoid lane, keep this as your final PM buffering step. Apply on slightly damp skin for best performance.

• Do NOT upgrade to THIS if you are breakout-prone and require FA-safe formulations.
• Do NOT upgrade to THIS if your primary complaint is midday greasiness.

If you match 2 or more upgrade triggers above, THIS is worth choosing. If not, the alternative is sufficient and safer. Consistency beats complexity.

This product's PRIMARY function is: structural barrier repair and occlusion. You do NOT need this if you already own: a thick ceramide-based recovery cream or an occlusive sleeping mask. Finish your current product before purchasing.

Check your current shelf. Do you have an open product with the same primary active? Skincare products lose efficacy after opening (PAO = 12 months). Buying new while old expires is waste.

Combining with a similar product: No Benefit (same mechanism). Layering two thick barrier creams simply wastes product and increases the risk of congestion.

This product is sourced through authorized Korean distributors — primarily Craver Co., Ltd (South Korea), alongside other verified distribution partners.

Quick Tip: Authentic Anua products feature precise, high-quality typography and clear expiration/batch codes embossed on the crimp of the tube. Verify the texture is an elegant, smooth cream, not separated or grainy.

Anua is a South Korean skincare brand built on the philosophy of relaxation and simplicity. They focus intensely on pure, organic ingredients and minimalist formulations designed specifically to comfort stressed, irritated skin.

Their approach rejects aggressive concentrations in favor of high-percentage soothing botanicals, most notably Heartleaf (Houttuynia Cordata) sourced from local Korean farms. They formulate specifically to reset the skin's baseline health.

Dry, sensitive users on Reddit report that this cream is a "lifesaver" during winter or after over-exfoliating, noting its ability to eliminate flaking within a few nights of use.

Combination skin users appreciate its lack of fragrance and immediate soothing effect, but frequently note they can only use it at night because it leaves a slightly shiny film.

Oily, acne-prone reviewers caution that while it reduces redness quickly, daily use caused minor congestion or closed comedones for some, likely due to the macadamia oil content.

Common Praise: Immediate reduction in redness, repairs barrier damage fast, highly moisturizing. Common Complaints: Can feel heavy, not fungal acne safe, may clog very oily skin types.

Please separate the cap from the tube before recycling according to local Mauritius waste sorting guidelines.

Is this cream suitable for oily skin?

It is generally too thick for genuine oily skin during the daytime in Mauritius. However, if your oily skin is dehydrated and your barrier is damaged, using a small amount at night is highly beneficial.

Will this cure my acne?

No. It does not contain acne-fighting actives like Salicylic Acid or Benzoyl Peroxide. It only reduces the redness and inflammation associated with acne.

Can I use this with Retinol or Vitamin C?

Yes. It is an excellent pairing. Applying this over your actives helps reduce the irritation they cause, acting as a soothing buffer.

Is it normal to smell a slight herbal scent if it's fragrance-free?

Yes. Fragrance-free means no extra perfumes were added to mask the natural smell of the ingredients. The 70% Heartleaf extract naturally has a faint, earthy aroma.

Skin Barrier (Acid Mantle)

The outermost layer of your skin, made of dead cells and lipids, that keeps water in and bacteria out.

The process where water passively evaporates from your skin into the surrounding air, leading to dehydration.

Occlusive

An ingredient (like beeswax or oil) that creates a physical seal over the skin to lock in moisture.

Humectant

An ingredient that acts like a sponge, attracting and holding onto water molecules.

Erythema

Redness of the skin caused by increased blood flow to the capillaries, usually due to inflammation.

Ceramides

Natural fats found in high concentrations in the skin that help hold cells together to form a protective layer.

Fungal Acne (Malassezia Folliculitis)

Not true acne, but an overgrowth of yeast on the skin that causes small, itchy bumps.

Lipids

The skin's natural fats, essential for keeping the barrier strong and the skin moisturized.

Best For: Individuals with chronically dry, dehydrated, or barrier-compromised skin who need immediate soothing relief and a strong moisture seal.

Key Benefits: Delivers rapid reduction in inflammation via 70% Heartleaf extract. Rebuilds the stratum corneum with Ceramide NP. Prevents water loss effectively in aggressive AC environments.

Keep in Mind: Contains oils and waxes that can trigger fungal acne or congest very oily skin in high heat. It is an excellent functional recovery cream, but not a lightweight summer moisturizer.

Assessment: Highly Suitable.

Because this formulation is entirely fragrance-free, free of essential oils, and relies on skin-identical lipids (ceramides) and soothing botanicals (Heartleaf/Panthenol), it is an excellent option for managing the extreme dryness and erythema commonly associated with systemic oncology treatments.

Consult your oncology care team before introducing any new skincare products during treatment.

AC / Humidity Swing Interaction: This formula contains a high ratio of structural occlusives (Beeswax, Macadamia Oil) alongside humectants. This means it excels at preventing the vapor pressure deficit caused by air conditioning from stripping water from your skin.

If you spend 8+ hours in an AC office, this cream is highly protective. Conversely, if you apply this immediately before stepping into peak Mauritius outdoor humidity, the heavy film may trap sweat and lead to a claustrophobic skin sensation.
