Creams & Butters

What Are Creams in Skincare?

Technically a moisturizer, creams are also a blend of oil, water, waxes and beneficial ingredients. However, because creams are usually about a fifty-fifty blend of oil and water, they are thicker than a moisturizing lotion (and more powerful).

How to Choose a Cream

When selecting a cream, the skin-type comes into play and can be attested in the following skincare advice: –

• Dry Skin (will benefit from a heavier, oil-based moisturizer)
• Oily Skin (will benefit from lighter, water-based moisturizers)
• Mature Skin (will benefit from oil-based moisturizers to preserve moisture)
• Sensitive Skin (will benefit from soothing ingredients, like aloe, that won’t be harsh on the skin)
• Normal/Combination Skin (will benefit from a lighter, water-based moisturizer)

Is Body Butter Any Different?

Body butter is a deeply hydrating skin moisturizer. It is typically a thick cream made of cocoa butter, shea butter, and mango butter.
