*Phototoxic potential - "In several studies, application of some sources of bergamot oil directly to the skin was shown to have a concentration-dependent phototoxic effect of increasing redness after exposure to ultraviolet light (due to the chemical bergapten, and possibly also citropten, bergamottin, geranial, and neral). This is a property shared by many other citrus fruits." For more information see here from Wikipedia.
DESCRIPTION:
One of our most popular items in our organic, paraben-free, phthalate-free, gluten free, cruelty free, vegan line of luxurious products at very affordable prices. Google other organic creams, lotions and soaps and you will see just how reasonably priced our products are, plus they are truly skin-healthy and therefore contribute to the overall health of you and your family. Mix and match with our organic botanical soaps.
Mother Nature knows best - that's what we believe and that's how we purchase our ingredients and formulate our recipes. Thicker than a "lotion", this organic, paraben-free, non-greasy cream slides easily onto your skin with no “drag,” absorbs quickly, and leaves your skin feeling refreshed, renewed, hydrated and healthy. Take a look at our ingredients and you will see why our cream is a step above. Our base is pure certified organic shea butter with 100% certified organic vegetable oils that we purchase from suppliers that we trust and know. We purchase unrefined, virgin oils that still retain all of nature's benefits that haven't been processed out of them. Our creams are naturally thick without artificial fillers and stiffeners you will see everywhere. Yes, it's less expensive to just make the product thick with chemicals, but we want healthy skin, so we use a large percentage of certified organic shea butter instead. We include certified organic skin-healthy herbs that we infuse at low temperatures for weeks and pure essential oils that are natural anti-free-radical ingredients known to protect your skin from aging and environmental toxins. It is difficult to find a product with as many unprocessed ingredients as ours, as well as being organic. Choose unscented or one of our uniquely blended true aromatherapy choices using only 100% pure essential oils.
You asked – we listened. We are now offering all of our creams in the convenient sizes listed above, and also in 8 and 16 oz jars!

SAFETY/USAGE:
This cream (it is a CREAM, not a lotion) has been tested by nurses and men. Why did we use these two populations? Because nurses need hand cream (as do doctors) in the workplace because of having to wash their hands so many times a day, not to mention the alcohol-based, very drying, "sanitizers" they are forced to use. They need a cream that is hydrating and healing as well as one that absorbs quickly and won't mess up their ink when they go to chart. Charting has changed a lot since I was first a nurse though, so with electronic charting, that might not be an issue. But THE issue is they need a very effective hand cream. Now men, they want it to absorb quickly and not feel greasy - so we used them as our ultimate test. And thirdly, at the shows we used to do at the Qwest Center in Omaha, we would allow people to sample the cream before purchasing, which is also what we did at the farmer's market. We always - and I do mean always - got a pleasant and amazed response by those who tried it. We often wished we could have video taped some of those responses.
So - usage? Use as often as necessary, but you will find you don't need to reapply this cream as often as you do others you have purchased. You will also notice a change in the health of your skin. We recommend using the pump type bottles if you are sharing this cream with anyone else, but the jars (we are now introducing) are perfect for your own use and are easier to use with less waste.
REVIEWS/TESTIMONIALS:
I love the lotion! I wash my hand constantly during the day, so I have one at home and one at work. -Linda Demeulmeester, Nebraska
