Moisturisers

What to Look for When Choosing a Moisturiser

Not every moisturising cream or formula does what it promises. A lot of mainstream formulas contain synthetic preservatives, artificial fragrance, and filler ingredients that sit on top of the skin rather than supporting it. Every face moisturiser in this collection is formulated with plant-based actives and clean ingredients that work with your skin rather than coating it.

Grown Alchemist formulates around biocompatible, plant-derived ingredients covering daily hydration through to intensive overnight repair. Ere Perez brings their food-grade ingredient philosophy to skincare with the Moringa All-Beauty Crème and Australian Blue Cypress Face Nectar. Scout Cosmetics produces certified organic formulas made in Australia across both lighter and richer textures. 

Dope Skin Co uses native Australian botanicals in their Antioxidant Botanical formula. Province Apothecary brings Canadian-certified organic options. Fat And The Moon offers accessible, wildcrafted formulas suited to everyday use.

Every product here is rigorously selected, not just labelled.

Types of Moisturisers in This Collection and How They Differ

Different skin types and routines need different formulas. Here is how to match the right product to your skin. 

• Lightweight daily options: Suited to normal, combination, or oily skin. Fast-absorbing, non-greasy, and comfortable under makeup. Best used in the morning after cleansing.
• Richer creams and treatment formulas: Suited to dry, mature, or compromised skin that needs more support. Apply at night when skin is in repair mode for best results.
• Organic body moisturiser options: Some formulas in this collection work across both face and body. A practical choice for anyone who wants one product that covers more ground.
• Face balms and multipurpose formulas: Concentrated and targeted. Better suited to dry patches, barrier repair, or reactive skin than an all-over daily cream.
• Eye creams: Formulated specifically for the delicate eye area, where a standard moisturiser is too heavy.

For a complete vegan skincare routine, every product in this collection meets the same ethical standard throughout.

How a Moisturiser Fits Into a Skincare Routine

It works hardest when it is part of a considered routine. Here is how to use it effectively at different points in the day.

• Morning: Start with a face cleanser to remove overnight buildup. Apply to slightly damp skin immediately after cleansing. Follow with SPF if going outdoors.
• Evening: Use an exfoliatin face scrub one to two times per week before your evening application. A richer formula works best at night when skin is in repair mode. A facial mask used weekly gives an additional layer of targeted treatment.
• For lips and dry patches: Pair with a lip balm for dry lips for a complete daily routine that covers every area prone to dryness.

Apply in gentle upward strokes and allow full absorption before layering anything on top.
