I thought I would share this little gem with you as I've been using it non-stop since I received it in my Valentines beauty box. This moisturiser is handmade using natural ingredients by a company based in both the UK and Japan. I'm really impressed by Steamcream's ethical approach to this product, all materials used are sustainable and vegan while they also assure us that they do not test on animals and that they will not buy from other company's which do test on animals (I have a lot of love for this)!
The cream is promoted as a multitasker for face, hands and body- another tick in the ethical box reducing the number of packaged products you need to buy. The formula is really light, a result of the unique steam process they use to combine the ingredients (the name makes sense now doesn't it!) It melts into the face/body nicely and gives instantly super soft skin which I'm guessing is a result of the cocoa butter, yum!
Other natural ingredients include chamomile- perfect for soothing the skin and jojoba oil which supposedly helps with acne as it keeps excess oil production under control! I have combination skin and I can't say I've noticed any difference in oiliness but as I use a mattifying toner I'm not surprised. I have however noticed really silky feeling skin and I love using it as a body cream as it feels like a real luxury product when applied.
The only downside is the initial scent, when you open the tin the smell of lavender is strong, like really really strong and I do not like lavender! It seems strange to put something so heavily perfumed onto your face, it took me a bit of getting used to but once it's been on for a few minutes it just has a really gentle, soft scent which is lovely.
The tin itself is so cute, I have the 'Lucy In The Sky' design which was limited edition but there are so many different designs on the website- star signs, cupcakes, floral patterns, hearts, musical notes the list goes on! I think this would make a really unique gift (either for a friend or yourself!) and you can find Steamcream on its website here for £12.95 plus p&p.
