Apply right after showering, onto damp skin
Body cream works best when applied immediately after showering, before you've fully toweled off. The moisture left on your skin combines with the cream's nourishing oils to form a natural hydrating layer. Because this formula is made using a natural emulsification process, you may notice tiny water droplets on the surface when you first open the jar. This is completely normal and happens because we don't use synthetic emulsifiers, so feel free to use it with confidence.
Especially recommended for evening routines during dry seasons
Perfect for daily use from fall through spring when skin tends to be drier. Apply after your evening shower and let jojoba oil and shea butter work overnight to lock in moisture and prevent water loss. The sweet, comforting scent of osmanthus lingers gently on the skin, creating a relaxing moment before bed.
Warm a small amount in your palms before applying
Scoop out about a nickel-sized amount onto your palm, rub your hands together to warm it slightly with your body heat, then apply. The texture is quite rich, so warming it between your hands first helps it glide on much more smoothly than applying it directly. For areas prone to dryness like elbows, knees, and heels, apply a second layer for extra care.
How to use it based on your skin needs
- Very dry skin: Apply onto damp skin right after showering, then layer on a second application to especially dry areas
- To make the scent last longer: Dab a small amount on pulse points like the inner wrists and back of the neck, where your body heat will gently diffuse the osmanthus fragrance
- As a hand cream alternative: Even a small amount delivers long-lasting hydration thanks to the moisturizing power of jojoba oil
