Why you need a day Cream? What's the difference between the night balm and the day cream? Thirsty Skin Needs Water. There is a difference between moisture and hydration. Hydration goes beyond the layers of your skin. A healthy complexion needs both.
In recent years, there has been a growing trend in skincare towards avoiding water-based products, with some touting the benefits of oil-only formulations. While it’s true that oil-based products can offer certain advantages, it’s misleading to claim that water-based products are inherently bad for you. In reality, both types of products have their place in a well-rounded skincare routine.
Preservatives have been given a bad rap, often being painted as harmful or unnecessary. However, when it comes to water-based products, preservatives are absolutely essential. Without them, products can become breeding grounds for bacteria and mold, which can be harmful to your skin and overall health. At The Good Fat Co, we use natural preservatives like garlic bulb, ginger root, and wasabi. These ingredients not only extend the shelf life of our products but also offer added benefits for skin health.
Water-based products are carefully formulated to be pH balanced, which means they are designed to match the natural pH of your skin. This balance is crucial for maintaining the skin’s barrier function, preventing dryness, irritation, and breakouts. Oil-only products, while nourishing, can sometimes disrupt this balance, especially for those with sensitive skin.
One of the key benefits of water-based products is their ability to hydrate the skin. Hydration comes from water, which penetrates the skin to increase its water content. Oil-based products, on the other hand, are excellent at sealing in moisture but do not hydrate the skin on their own. A combination of both types of products can help achieve optimal skin health by providing hydration and locking it in.
We recognize the value of both water-based and oil-based products. We believe in harnessing the best of nature to create formulations that are safe, effective, and beneficial for your skin. By using natural preservatives like garlic bulb, ginger root, and wasabi, we ensure our products remain fresh and potent without compromising on safety.
In conclusion, the claim that water-based products are not good for you is more of a gimmick than a fact. By understanding the roles of preservatives, pH balance, and hydration, we can appreciate the benefits of well-formulated water-based skincare products.Westrive to provide the best of both worlds for your skin’s health and vitality.
Tallow +Beta Carotene just takes your skin health to the next level by Incorporating water ( =HYDRATION) and non- soluble ingredients such as Aloe Vera and Willow Bark those ingredients I could not incorporate in an oil-only product )
Why I suggest both Day and Night Versions of our Tallow Moisturizer:
The day version is less oily, absorbs quickly and offers ingredients that I was not able to incorporate in the night cream. For instance- I tried several ways to incorporate Aloe Vera and it just wouldn't mix without separating, Aloe Vera is a great for hydrating skin. I was also able to include the other high quality cosmetic ingredients that assist with fine lines and wrinkles such as Allantoin, Provitamin B5 and Retinol. This cream is packed with skin loving antioxidants .
++++ Tallow + Beta Carotene is Ph Balanced.
Our Tallow and Beta Carotene Hydration Cream was formulated to combine water to our already intense moisture night cream. It can be used during the day to avoid having too much slip on while providing your skin with the intense hydration + moisture to assist in maintaining a healthy, plump glow.
Simply Put, Its the best of Both Worlds!!
Vitamin B5 ( DL Panthenol)
When panthenol hits the skin, it becomes vitamin B5, which is known for its moisturizing properties. As a humectant, panthenol pulls up moisture from the deeper layers of the skin so it looks more firm and plump (kind of like our old friend, hyaluronic acid, which is why the ingredients are commonly found together).
Allantoin
Allantoin is a skincare ingredient that helps to moisturize and gently remove dead skin cells. Allantoin is an extract from the comfrey plant.
