This special summer edition of Skin Fluff is similar to the classic Skin Fluff, but has a different scent and the luxury of a few additions! It is scented with the highest quality of yang yang essential oil that I acquired while travelling in Madagascar recently and vanilla infused sunflower seed oil, as well as has the addition of wheat germ oil and carrot seed essential oil. (It also contains other classic Skin Fluff ingredients - mango seed butter, watermelon seed oil, aloe vera gel, etc.)

Wheat germ oil is known to have a naturally occuring SPF of around 20, and is known for it’s excellent moisturizing properties that keeps skin supple and soft for hours. It’s also high in vitamin A & D. (do NOT use the fluff as sunscreen!! But still, nice to have a littttle added protection.)

Carrot Seed Essential oil contains a compound called umbelliferone, or 7-hydroxycoumarin which absorbs UVB light and is commonly used in sunscreens.

The SMELL of this cream is just absolutely bonkers. You want to eat it, but also not really, you just want to tattoo the smell to your nostrils. It's slightly vanillary, floral and sweet. But not TOO sweet, just the perfect amount of flowery sweetness.

New to Skin Fluff?

Skin Fluff is a whipped face and body moisturizer that is made by whipping oils and butters until they transform into the texture of whipped cream. Whipping the butters and oils creates a moisturizer that is light and airy to the touch, while the aloe vera gel makes the moisturizer especially soothing during the summer months, when you’ve gotten a little too much sun, and gives momentarily refreshing sensation as you spread it into your skin. Skin Fluff is the perfect every day cream for anyone who would like a lightweight moisturizer that keeps your skin feeling soft and moisturized throughout the whole day.

Skin Fluff is an oil-based moisturizer, which enables it to be free of any potentially irritating emulsifiers, preservatives, or synthetic fragrances. The oils and butter within are all comedogenic, meaning they will not be the cause of pimples or clogged pores.

Skin Fluff is suitable for all skin types, because the notion of "skin types" is actually a myth created by ”you know who”, the skincare industry. The actual root cause for oily and dry skin is very often the same. Oily skin happens when skin is dry and tries to over compensate by overproducing sebum. Some people's skin instead reacts by just feeling dry. Oily and dry skin can both be results of diet, hormones, genetics, stress... etc. But either way, whether your skin is prone to feeling dry, oily, or a combination, the nutrients we actually want and need are coming from plant ingredients. Everyone could use some nutrient dense oils and butters for their skin, and truly, nobody really needs synthesized chemicals.

☁️ THE FEELS
This luscious cream feels like a cashmere baby blanket melting across your face as you apply it. The nutritious oils nourish and feed the skin. The aloe vera gel cools ever so slightly, while the creamy butters create a thin protective layer that makes skin & lips insanely soft.

😤 THE AROMA PROFILE
Skin Fluff is scented only with pure essential oils, like everything else in my shop. The classic Skin Fluff leads with a mellow lavender center, followed by notes of woodsy cedarwood and amyris. This special edition Summer Fluff is a little bit more dessert like. With the edition of Madagascar ylang ylang oil and Vanilla infused sunflower seed oil, it really resembles the perfect floral-custardy dessert. The fragrance stays on the skin for long periods and may yield compliments when hugging other people. Beware!

🛠 HOW IT'S MADE
Skin Fluff is made by whipping mango & shea butter like whipped cream, along with a few very light, easily absorbed, non-comedogenic oils and essential oils to create this airy, nutritious dessert for the skin.

🍏 FRIENDLY TIP
Although Skin Fluff feels light and is easily absorbed, because it is made purely with  butters and oils, a little bit goes a longer way than with the regular water-based moisturizers. Start with a very tiny amount and add more as needed! If you use too much at a time, it will take longer for your skin to absorb it.

ABOUT THE INGREDIENTS

WATERMELON SEED OIL is known for its ultra light texture. It contains a high concentration of essential fatty acids, particularly linoleic acid, which plays a crucial role in balancing the skin's oil production. Linoleic acid helps regulate sebum production in the skin, preventing excess oiliness without stripping the skin of its natural moisture. Additionally, the oil is rich in vitamins, including vitamin E, which supports skin health and helps maintain its natural balance. Together, these nutrients work synergistically to keep oil production in check, promoting a more balanced and harmonious complexion.

MANGO BUTTER extracted from the seeds of the mango fruit, stands out for its unique composition and beneficial properties for skincare. Extracted from the seeds of the mango fruit, it is rich in essential fatty acids, particularly oleic acid and stearic acid, which deeply nourish and moisturize the skin without leaving a greasy residue. Additionally, mango butter is high in vitamins A and E, potent antioxidants that help protect the skin from environmental stressors and promote overall skin health. Its luxurious texture and mild aroma make it a delight to use, while its non-comedogenic nature ensures it won't clog pores, making it suitable for all skin types, from oily to acne-prone skin.

ALOE VERA GEL is packed with antioxidants, vitamins, and enzymes that effectively calm irritation, reduce redness, and promotes skin regeneration. When applied topically, aloe vera creates a protective barrier over wounds or irritated skin, helping to accelerate the healing process while reducing inflammation and discomfort.

Why choose oil-based creams over water-based?
Although water-based creams may feel light and refreshing on the skin momentarily, there are a few ingredients in every water-based cream that need to be there for the cream to stay together and not go bad, but are actually really harmful for the skin.

Water-based creams tend to be recommended to oily skin because they are "lighter". But the truth is that the water part of the cream evaporates before it would even penetrate the skin, and the nutrients we need is coming from the oils, butters and extracts. It's great to use water and hydrolates on to refresh and clean the skin, but it's really not necessary for water to be in the cream. Adding water is sadly a cheap industry trick so they can fill a container with a cream that's 75% water and save some mula.

Many water-based creams (also shampoos and other products) have some kind of alcohol added, which gives you this refreshing hydrating feeling for a moment but then ends up drying the skin out more.
