What do the words toothache, Pará cress, Buzz Buttons and Electric Daisy all have in common? They’re all alternative names for the Acmella flower, a key ingredient in Skin Creamery’s Wildflower Water-Cream. 

Skin Creamery’s Wildflower Water-Cream contains the Spilanthes Acmella, a powerful plant botanical known for its medicinal properties. Because of how it stimulates your skin’s fibroblasts, your skin feels immediately tighter and smoother. The hydrating elixir enhances collagen and elastin production while relaxing facial tension and is suitable for all skin types. 

Skin Creamery’s ethos is:  ‘Be kind to the earth, and kind to your skin’, meaning no synthetic fragrances, parabens or preservatives are used in their products; also suitable for strict vegetarians and vegans.

 I have mature skin, so I used Skin Creamery Wildflower Water-Cream as a serum under a cream plus sunscreen in the daytime and night cream in the evenings – the double layering of products felt wintertime perfect! It’s a lightweight hydrating elixir with a 100% natural fragrance with restorative and regenerating properties.

Did you know that Skin Creamery aims to replace single-use packaging with functional, reusable or recyclable packaging? All their ingredients are naturally sourced, certified organic and cruelty-free. I’m not shy to admit that packaging is a big factor for me when buying beauty products, (I mean, they’re going to sit on my bathroom shelf so I want them to look good while making me look good, right?). I absolutely love their botanical-themed packaging and (recyclable!) frosted bottles.

I’ve written about Skin Creamery before and continue to rave about this proudly South African skincare brand. Have you tried any of their products out? Another one you may enjoy is Skin Creamery Baobab Helichrysum Prickly Pear – read my review here

I’m going to enjoy the last rays of sunshine outside with a cuppa tea before I have to close up for the evening, (we have been blessed with superb winter sunshiny days of late!) I mean it’s June and winter is kindly keeping a low profile – you got it, I’m not a winter person!!) So I’ll sign off and see you later in the week!!!

BEAUTY REVIEW: SKIN CREAMERY THE BALM

I’m focusing on supporting local businesses wherever possible, so I decided to try out the beauty brand Skin Creamery Baobab Helichrysum Prickly Pear The Balm. Could this luxe multifunctional newcomer rival some Internationals cult favourites? My thoughts…

Skin Creamery Baobab Helichrysum Prickly Pear The Balm is a fuss-free product comprising of only five ingredients: 

– moisturising baobab 

-marula which is rich in protein and absorbs easily

-prickly pear is super hydrating with antioxidant and antibacterial properties; research shows prickly pear oil reduces skin inflammation.

– Helichrysum, also known as Immortelle, is known for collagen production, improving skin repair and reducing signs of wrinkles. 

– Spirulina lends the colour blue! Rich in nutrients and fatty acids to fight free radicals, tones skin and encourage cell turnover 

The Balm can be used on dry cuticles, cracked heels, rough elbows and knees, dry lips and is even great for sealing split ends on hair! 

It is a 100% natural fragrance, is vegan and cruelty-free. 

One needs only a pea-size amount warmed between palms of hands before pressing into a face.  

I bought it as a face cream but use it daily on cuticles and as a lip balm and love the spa-like smell.. mmmm simply delish!!
