FAQs

What is the scent of Essential Moisturizer?

Essential Moisturizer was formulated to be fragrance free, meaning no added natural or synthetic fragrances were added. Therefore, any scent noted is inherently part of the raw materials, specifically the lactobacillus ferment and hydrolyzed pea protein. Most users note that this “base” scent dissipates upon application. This product has been tested for safety, stability and efficacy and is safe for use on the skin. For external use only -- keep out of eyes, nose and mouth.

How much Essential Moisturizer should I use at a time? How often?

Use Essential Moisturizer twice daily in the AM and PM. Start with 1-2 pumps for face. Apply 1-2 pumps to face, neck, and décolleté prior to application of sunscreen. (Don’t forget 1 pump for the back of hands!)

95% of participants with sensitive skin felt itchiness was relieved and skin felt more comfortable upon application
92% of participants agreed skin felt firmer, and rough, dry skin was smoothed
90% of participants agreed the appearance of pores was smoothed or minimized

After 4 weeks of use, 92% agreed their skin was more hydrated, felt smoother, healthier, and more nourished.

What color is 1-Step Cleanser?
