In Search of the Perfect Body Cream

Here are two moisturizers well worth your time and money.

Olamic Retin-Algae Body Butter is a gem with facial-grade ingredients. Everything about this body butter, from the elegant, substantial jar to the indulgent richness of the cream, is seriously low-key luxe. Olamic is not some fluffy head-in-the-clouds cream. It’s like that go-to friend who is smart, kind, and always there for you. In fact, Olamic touts 72 hours of moisturizing benefits from its ingredient Sacharide Isomerate. This ingredient is a plant-derived sugar that provides deep-lasting hydration even after you shower.  Olamic Body Butter contains a 2% bio-retinol complex that supports skin through an innovative delivery system that outperforms traditional retinol products. Chlorella Vulgaris, a nutrient-dense microalgae, also powers Olamic. Chlorella Vulgaris may not have the prettiest name, but it produces gorgeous results.

And the brand is dedicated to creating skincare with “unmatched quality.” After a week of using Olamic, I noticed a notable improvement in my skin. It looked brighter and looked like me,  just better. Its nourishing blend of shea butter and vitamin-rich oils is perfect as we ease into colder temperatures and the drying air of indoor heating. Plus, Olamic’s fragrance, with its soft jasmine and vanilla notes, makes a bedtime ritual of applying Olamic soothing in a stressful world. Olamic Retin-Algae Body Butter is a worthy indulgence.

Frank Body Barrier Body Creme Jar

 

Boundaries are essential, and Frank Body’s Barrier Body Creme gets it. Packed with ceramides, this creme helps maintain and support a healthy skin barrier. It also contains Panthenol, a moisture-retaining ingredient that safeguards the skin from environmental stressors. Add Niacinamide to help prevent premature signs of aging, and you’ve got a super skin-supporting team. With a cheerful peach scent, this is a bright addition to your self-care routine. Every time I used it, the juicy fruit fragrance made me happy, and I loved how quickly and easily it absorbed into my skin. The Barrier Body Creme is a perfect follow-up to the Glycolic Body Scrub, especially for winter-weary skin. In fact, be sure to check out all the Frank Body offerings. It’s a cheeky, happy Australian brand started by five friends in a coffee shop, with the mission to make clean skincare fun. And I think they’ve more than admirably achieved their goal.
