This product is MADE SAFE® certified and formulated with plant-based ingredients. However, it does contain a natural fragrance and numerous botanical extracts.

The 2nd's Recommendation: For external use only. If you have very sensitive skin, a patch test is always a good idea.

Don't let the "rich" description make you think this is a heavy, old-school cream. The formula is surprisingly elegant and sinks into the skin beautifully, leaving it feeling nourished but not greasy. It’s a fantastic choice for a nightly repair cream, or as a daily moisturizer during the winter when your skin needs an extra layer of defense against the cold.

A fresh and woodsy scent derived from natural botanicals.

2.0 fl oz / 60 mL

How long does it take to see results?
The moisturizer works immediately to hydrate your skin and improve its moisture retention. Over time, with consistent use, it works to visibly reduce lines and wrinkles and promote more youthful-looking skin.

How is this different from "The Hydro Layer" moisturizer?
They are designed for different preferences and needs. The Hydro Layer is an ultra-lightweight gel-cream, perfect for those who prefer a weightless texture or have oilier skin. The Base Layer is a richer cream, providing deeper nourishment and a more substantial protective barrier, which is ideal for drier skin types or for use in harsh, cold weather.

What does "MADE SAFE® certified" mean?
MADE SAFE® is a rigorous certification that verifies a product is made without ingredients known or suspected to harm human health. It means the product has been screened for a wide range of harmful chemicals, giving you peace of mind about what you're putting on your skin.
