Why Natural & Organic Matter

Your skin absorbs more than you think, and just like with cleansers and toners, many moisturizers on the market are packed with harmful chemicals silently wreaking havoc on your body.

The Hidden Toxins in Skincare: A Wake-Up Call

• Parabens: A common preservative that disrupts hormones by mimicking estrogen, and are linked to breast cancer, reproductive issues, and premature aging due to their interference with collagen synthesis (Darbre & Harvey, 2008).

• Artificial Fragrances: Often masking a cocktail of up to 4,000 chemicals, these “fragrances” can lead to irritation, hormone imbalance, and even cancer.

• Sodium Lauryl Sulfate (SLS): A harsh detergent that strips your skin of its natural oils, leading to dryness, irritation, and an increase in acne (Pancio et al., 2019).

• Phthalates: Common in beauty products to increase flexibility in plastics, phthalates are linked to hormonal disruptions, birth defects, and fertility problems. They have also been shown to accumulate in the body, increasing toxicity over time (Hauser et al., 2006).

• PFAs (Per- and Polyfluoroalkyl Substances): Dubbed "forever chemicals," PFAs are used in skincare and cosmetics to increase product spreadability and water resistance. However, PFAs are linked to serious health concerns, including hormone disruption, immune system suppression, and an increased risk of cancer. Studies have also shown that these chemicals persist in the environment and can accumulate in human tissue over time (Whitehead et. al, 2021).

Choosing natural, toxin-free alternatives ensures your skin—and your body—are not burdened by these harmful ingredients. Your skin, overall health, the environment, and the wellness of our future generations thanks you.

The Science Behind the Glow

Natural doesn’t mean less effective—in fact, it's incredibly powerful! The essential oils in Nature’s Glow are grounded in ancient wisdom and backed by modern research, working to naturally heal acne, lighten scars and dark spots, and soften the signs of aging. This all-in-one, daily moisturizer for acne and aging delivers on quality, efficacy, and a deep connection to the natural world.

Ingredients & Healing Properties:

• Whipped Pure African Shea Butter: Packed with vitamins A and E, shea butter deeply hydrates and revitalizes, improving skin elasticity and reducing fine lines.

• Coconut, Grapeseed, & Jojoba Oils: These lightweight, non-comedogenic oils are rich in antioxidants and essential fatty acids.

  • Coconut oil is celebrated for its hydration and antimicrobial properties.

  • Grapeseed oil’s high linoleic acid content helps balance oil production, reduce clogged pores, and calm irritation. Rich in antioxidants and vitamin E, it protects against free radical damage, supports collagen, and promotes a smooth, youthful complexion.

  • Jojoba oil is the carrier of choice for skincare products due to its ability to closely mimic the skin's natural sebum. It helps regulate oil production, preventing clogged pores and reducing acne breakouts. Rich in antioxidants and vitamins E and B, jojoba oil also promotes collagen production, supports skin elasticity, and helps reduce fine lines, making it ideal for aging skin.

• Vitamin C: Brightens complexion, fades dark spots, and evens skin tone by boosting collagen production. Vitamin C is essential for firm, youthful-looking skin (Pullar et al., 2017).

• Hyaluronic Acid: Deeply hydrates, plumping the skin to reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, while creating a smooth, supple texture.

• Manuka Oil: Offers remarkable benefits for acne, aging, and skin healing. Known for its strong antimicrobial action, manuka oil effectively targets acne-causing bacteria, thus reducing and preventing breakouts, while its renowned anti-inflammatory properties soothe irritated, acne-prone and sensitive skin. Additionally, manuka oil contains powerful antioxidants that protect against oxidative stress, helping to prevent premature skin aging and maintain elasticity, supporting a clear, youthful complexion (Mathew et al., 2020).

• Frankincense Essential Oil: Revered for its anti-aging benefits, frankincense has been used for centuries to reduce the appearance of wrinkles and scars. Its ability to promote cellular regeneration and maintain skin elasticity makes it a staple in anti-aging skincare (Kotbet al., 2023).

• Lavender Essential Oil: Known for its calming properties, lavender is also a powerful anti-inflammatory and antioxidant, reducing acne breakouts and the appearance of fine lines while promoting cell regeneration . Studies have also shown lavender can help regenerate skin cells, promoting faster healing and a more youthful complexion (Mori et al., 2016).

• Tea Tree Essential Oil: Extensively studied for its antimicrobial properties, tea tree oil effectively reduces acne-causing bacteria, while its anti-inflammatory properties soothe irritated skin, making it an ideal choice for acne-prone individuals (Enshaieh et al., 2007).

• Patchouli Essential Oil: Patchouli is more than just a grounding, earthy scent—it’s also a skin savior offering antioxidant protection, preventing UV damage, and promoting skin elasticity and healing (Bickers et al., 2016; Swamy & Sinniah, 2015).

• Geranium Essential Oil: Balances oil production and hormones to address cystic and hormonal acne, while its anti-inflammatory and regenerative properties help heal scars, reduce redness, brighten dark spots, and smooth fine lines and wrinkles, promoting clear, youthful skin.

• Ylang ylang Essential Oil: A powerful antioxidant with potent anti-inflammatory and skin-regenerative properties. Known for its balancing effects, ylang ylang helps regulate oil production, making it perfect for both dry and oily skin types. Its soothing aroma also promotes emotional well-being, making your skincare routine a meditative experience (Tan et al., 2015).

• Rosemary Essential Oil: Studies show rosemary oil has anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, antimicrobial, and anti-carcinogenic properties, which help boost circulation, combats free radicals*, minimizes scarring, and promotes a healthy, even-toned complexion (Bungau et al., 2022).

  * Free radicals can cause oxidative stress, which has been linked to inflammatory processes, chronic illnesses, aging, and the development of acne. (Bungau et. al., 2022).

*We are dedicated to using high-quality, predominantly organic ingredients. Although some ingredients may not be available in organic form, we ensure that our commitment to natural excellence remains unwavering.

* Note: Coconut oil, a key ingredient in our formula, melts at 76°F (24°C). If exposed to temperatures above this, the cream may become more liquid and lose its whipped texture. Simply place the jar in the refrigerator to re-harden and restore its luxurious consistency.

Emotional and Mental Benefits

Beyond its physical benefits, Nature’s Glow offers a holistic healing experience through its Reiki-infused formula. The Reiki energy amplifies the cream’s soothing properties, supporting emotional healing, reducing stress, and promoting inner harmony. The warm, uplifting aromas of lavender and ylang ylang, combined with the grounding essence of frankincense and patchouli, help stimulate the parasympathetic nervous system, inviting peace and relaxation. This ritual transforms your skincare routine into a sacred moment of self-care, fostering both physical and spiritual well-being.

Application Ritual

Apply a small amount of Nature’s Glow to clean, dry skin using gentle upward, circular motions. Allow the cream to fully absorb before applying makeup or sunscreen. For best results, pair with our Clear Complexion Cleanser , Pampered Pores Toner Rounds, and Acne Fighter essential oil roller-blend to create a complete skincare routine that tackles acne, clears impurities, fades scarring and dark spots, and reveals your natural brilliance. Use morning and night to maintain a clear, radiant complexion while benefiting from its long-term anti-aging properties.

As you massage the cream into your skin, repeat this mantra three times:

"I honor the sacred glow within me; I am radiant, I am healed, I am whole."

By mindfully applying the cream and affirming your intentions, you engage both body and mind, deepening your connection to your inner self. This simple daily ritual transforms your skincare routine into a powerful act of self-love and healing.

Fun Fact! Research demonstrates consistent use of affirmations can rewire the brain, not only enhancing emotional well-being but also supporting physical healing by shifting brainwave patterns and activating the body’s innate healing mechanisms (Dispenza, 2019).

Pro Tip: For an extra anti-inflammatory boost, try refrigerating Nature's Glow before use. The cooling sensation will not only calm your skin but also enhance the cream's anti-inflammatory benefits, making it ideal for sensitive or irritated skin.

Travel-Ready Elegance

Elegant enough to be displayed on your bathroom counter, yet durable enough for travel and a busy lifestyle.

Nature’s Glow is packaged in a 2 oz amber glass jar with a sleek, airtight black lid. Its thick, double-wall glass design resists breakage, UV damage, and leakage, ensuring your cream remains pure and ready for use wherever life takes you.

Pregnancy Caution

Nature’s Glow is thoughtfully crafted with safe, all-natural, organic ingredients and is generally safe for use during pregnancy and breastfeeding. Lavender, Frankincense, Patchouli, and Ylang ylang are all considered safe when used topically and in moderation. Tea Tree oil, though safe in small amounts, should be used with caution in pregnancy. (Tisserand & Young, 2014).
