Goat Milk Bath Soak: Elevate your warm winter bath with this ultra-soothing bath soak. Goat milk has been used for millennia to brighten and beautify, and with gentle natural acids to keep skin looking youthful this product is great year-long.

Facial Skin Care Products for Winter

AHA Cream Exfoliant: A gentle facial exfoliant in a cream base–perfect for winter weather when skin needs extra nourishment and care. With jojoba wax beads instead of microplastics, and the delicate chemical exfoliation of excellent AHAs, your skin and the environment will love this cream exfoliant.

Moisturizing Facial Toner: Especially during the wintertime, a major underrated benefit of using a toner is its moisturizing capabilities. This moisturizing toner has been formulated to work with all skin types, leaving skin balanced and hydrated.

Niacinamide Facial Serum: Don’t forget that skin still needs all the usual nutrients and vitamins in winter, not just extra moisture. Lay the foundation for beautiful skin with this best-selling vitamin B3 serum!

Rejuvenating Skin Oil: Perfect for the face, body, and hair, premium ingredients combine to create an all-around wonder oil. Dose your skin with our favorite array of fatty acids during these colder months. Excellent as skin matures to maintain a youthful glow.

Moisturizing Body Cream: Although initially designed for use on the body, this cream makes an excellent, slightly heavier face cream. Premium plant-based carrier oils give skin the essential fatty acid and antioxidant boost it needs. We often use it as a night cream, but on those cold windy days this is the perfect final layer before putting on sunscreen (yes, even in winter!).

Creams & Balms for Winter Weather

Shea Butter Cream: Easier to use than pure Shea Butter, this cream is rich and thick. Stubborn, dry, or ashy skin? This is the cream for you!

Barrier Balm: A little goes a long way with this ultimate layer of nourishing protection. Apply a small amount and rub in thoroughly on those roughest, driest patches of skin.

Bulk Ultra Thick Cream: High up on our best-sellers list, this cream is super thick and rich, and nourishes the skin leaving it moisturized and soft. This versatile formula is the perfect base cream that can be used as is, but is also endlessly customizable with holiday scents or other additives.

Body & Bum Balm: Body and bum, head to toe, wherever! Melting on contact with skin, this intensive miracle moisturizing balm can rescue skin of all types: winter skin, hardworking skin, rough and dry skin, even baby's skin.

Exotic Butter Cream: Nourish your body from head to toe with the hydrating power of exotic, skin-loving butters. This rich, dense cream feels decadent and luxurious on your skin, but melts immediately into the skin for a satiny finish.

We hope you’ll find a new favorite on this list and stock your shelves with some of the best products for winter weather.
