African Botanics launched a new product called Fleur de Rose Cream Cleanser. It is what you would guess from the name-a cream cleanser. African Botanics is one of my all time favorite brands. The eco luxe green beauty brand never disappoints. Details per African Botanics:
Fleur de Rose Cream Cleanser is an ultra-gentle and reparative cleanser that sinks into the skin to dissolve all traces of urban pollutants, impurities, make-up and sunscreen without disrupting the skins pH balance.
Supercharged with antioxidant-rich botanical oils and moisture binding African Aloe Ferox, this unique creamy formula strengthens the skin’s protective barrier while calming, renewing and soothing.
Key Active Benefits:
- Contains Dragon's Blood resin extract, which helps protect skin cells, reduce redness and swelling.
- A unique complex of Allantoin, Arnica, Calendula, Marula, Niacinamide, Squalane and African Bush Plants provide antimicrobial, astringent, anti-inflammatory and antioxidant benefits.
Directions AM/PM Apply to dry or wet skin with light upward and outward circular movements for 1-2 minutes. Remove with a warm, damp face cloth or rinse well with warm water. Repeat if needed. Follow with an essence and appropriate oil / serums or cream.
Designed for all skin types including dry, mature, dehydrated, sensitive and compromised barriers.
This is a luxurious hydrating cream cleanser. It's perfect as a morning or second cleanse. It hydrates while it cleans and never leaves my skin dry, tight or stripped. It's got a thick creamy texture and a pale pink hue. Dragon's Blood is purifying and anti-inflammatory. It's not a common ingredient and I like seeing it in more products. This cleanser has salicylic & lactic acids plus willow bark for some natural exfoliation. This cleanser has super antioxidant green rooibos tea extract, multi-tasking powerhouse niacinamide, multiple hydrators like oils, mango seed butter, aloe ferox and glycerin, plus soothing/anti-inflammatory allantoin, calendula and arnica.
This has a medium rose scent, it's not minimal but it's not strong. It's also a natural rose scent with no synthetics. So it's fine for me. I have a hard time with synthetic rose scents. In short I love the combo of anti-inflammatory, soothing and hydrating ingredients. It has what you want from a soothing hydrating cream cleanser. With the bonus of Dragon's Blood and salicylic & lactic acids. The texture is spot on and I really love it. I put this in my top three favorite cream cleansers. It has a super luxurious texture and the ingredients list is phenomenal. It's not cheap but I tend to have a taste for the luxury items.
