No, the steam process is actually gentler on the ingredients than the traditional emulsification method

The power and energy produced by high pressure STEAM melts and fuses the raw ingredients at a speed that defies most traditional cream-making methods. This force and intensity emulsifies the ingredients immediately, producing a beautifully textured, fast absorbing cream. This light and glossy emulsion is held together so gently, that it allows the cream to break down immediately on contact with the skin. Plant extracts including oatmeal, jojoba oil and lavender essential oils can get to where they are needed, instantly.

In most creams, the emulsifying process is what holds the ingredients tightly together. It can also stop creams breaking down. Because of this, each ingredient struggles to enter the skin individually. It stays as a blend, moisturising the skin’s surface yet preventing the real goodness from reaching deep into the skin’s molecular structure. STEAMCREAM’s light, gentle and loosely bound emulsion allows each ingredient to break back down to its purest form and reach where it’s needed fast.

The oatmeal infusion and glycerine hydrate and moisturise deep into the skin. The almond and organic jojoba oils combine with cocoa butter to seal in their goodness, softening the skin’s surface. The process is topped off with a fragrance created from a natural blend of pure essential oils selected for their toning, soothing and healing qualities.

We only use the finest ingredients that will help hydrate, calm and tone your skin. Our unique steam process creates a super-light cream that can be instantly absorbed and won’t clog your pores - ideal for acne prone skin. On contact with skin, STEAMCREAM’s naturally moisturising ingredients and pure, calming essential oils are released from the light emulsion so that they can help nourish deep into the skin's surface.

STEAMCREAM contains pure lavender essential oil, which balances the skin and soothes and calms it. Its natural antiseptic properties help to banish redness and prevent oiliness. We also use an oatmeal infusion which results in a gentle and soothing oat milk, good for even the most sensitive skin. Oats are rich in minerals and vitamin B. Our high quality almond oil is made from sweet almonds, crushed to extract soft, easily absorbed oil that is excellent for your skin. It is amazingly nutritious with proteins, minerals and restorative vitamin E. Cocoa butter is another main ingredient in our cream. It is made from roasted cocoa beans, the same source as the best quality chocolate but instead of eating it, we use the pure natural butter to help make skin flexible and soft. All these ingredients will help nourish, balance and calm skin with acne or scars.

STEAMCREAM is a very gentle formulation that uses a soothing oat milk base to carry the other ingredients of the cream so is typically good on sensitive skin. We would always recommend, however, that you carry out a patch test first if your skin is very sensitive.

Yes, the ingredients in STEAMCREAM work effectively to hydrate and nourish suntanned skin.

In particular, the steaming process creates an emulsion that allows STEAMCREAM to absorb very easily into the skin for maximum hydration. Each ingredient can break down on contact with the skin and target the areas they are designed to benefit i.e. oatmeal infusion is especially good for dry skin conditions and almond oil is high in vitamin E as it helps condition the skin and keep it plump, radiant and healthy. Orange flower water helps improve the elasticity of skin and cocoa butter is an extremely effective moisturiser, which also helps to seal in the skin’s moisture.

STEAMCREAM is a natural, all-in-one moisturiser for face, body and hands. It’s formulated for your face using high quality natural ingredients but due to its light texture you can use it on your body and hands too!
