Natural Moisturizers; what does it really mean to moisturize?
The Best Natural Moisturizer
Lotions are a type of moisturizer that help to rehydrate and protect the skin. They are typically made from a combination of oils, water, and emulsifiers, and can be used on both the face and body. Lotions can be helpful for people with dry or sensitive skin, as they help to lock in moisture and keep the skin hydrated. In addition, lotions can also contain other ingredients that provide additional benefits, such as sun protection, anti-aging properties, or cleansing agents.
Natural lotions from Gleam and Glow are made from plant-based ingredients such as pure essential oils, and are typically handcrafted in small batches. This ensures that they are pure and clean, with minimal additives or chemicals. Our natural skin care lotions are vegan and cruelty-free, making them a gentle and safe option for all skin types. Importantly, all of our moisturizers are water free! Making them long lasting and eco-friendly. Using lotion rub on the body regularly is an important part of any skincare routine, and can help keep the skin healthy and hydrated.
Skin care options:
There are many different types of balms on the market, but not all of them are created equal. Chemical-based skincare moisturizers may provide temporary relief from irritation, but they can also contain harsh ingredients that can further damage skin. Natural skincare products, on the other hand, are made with nourishing ingredients that help to heal and protect dry skin. Plant-based oils such as jojoba and avocado are particularly beneficial for dry or sensitive skin, as they help to lock in moisture without clogging pores. Pure essential oils provide natural chemical-free scent while providing antimicrobial properties as well. Handcrafted skincare products also tend to be more gentle and effective than mass-produced items, as they are made in small batches with careful attention to detail.
How to choose a good skin care product:
When choosing a balm, it is important to select one that is right for your specific skin type. Especially if you have sensitive skin, it is so important to moisturize regularly.

What is in a moisturizer?
When it comes to plant based natural skin care, one of the most important products you can use is a balm. A good plant-based balm will help to keep your skin hydrated and protect it from the elements. There are many different types of plant based moisturizers on the market, but not all of them are created equal. Some plant based moisturizers are better than others at retaining water, so it is important to choose one that is right for your skin type. In general, plant based moisturizers are classified as either humectants or occlusive agents.
Humectants:
Humectants work by attracting water to the skin, while occlusive agents work by creating a barrier that prevents water from escaping. Both types of plant based moisturizers can be effective, but occlusive agents are generally more suitable for all types, especially those with skin irritation on the skin's surface. If you have oily or combination skin, a humectant-based plant based balm may be a better option. Whatever type of plant based balm you choose, be sure to apply it generously and regularly for best results.
The plant based balms from Gleam and Glow are packed with ingredients that are known to be beneficial for beauty care. Some of these ingredients include plant based oils, plant extracts, and plant based waxes. These ingredients work together to provide a moisturizing effect that can help to improve the appearance of the body. Additionally, plant based lotions often contain humectants, which are substances that help to attract water. This can help to keep the body surface hydrated and prevent dryness. Ultimately, plant based lotions can be an effective part of a self-care routine for those who want to maintain healthy, beautiful skin.
Vegan lotions are made with plant-based ingredients like shea butter and beeswax, which helps to protect the skin. Lavender oil is another great organic ingredient that has a calming scent and can help to improve hydration. Winter is a great time to use a rich cream or oil to prevent natural issues. A good organic product will soften the skin and provide long-lasting hydration. Health conscious customers like yourself will love a well-evaluated product like ours, that is free from harmful chemicals.
