6 Best Body Cream Ingredients To Keep Your Skin Soft And Supple

When you’re looking for a simple and easy way to improve the texture of your skin, body cream is a go-to. Convenient, easy, and readily available, body cream moisturizers help replenish, rejuvenate, and provide long-lasting moisturization for your skin. That is, as long as you choose the right ones with the right ingredients.

Not all body creams are created equal and we’re going to show you why the ingredients inside them matter. From nourishing coconut oil to aloe vera, what goes into your body cream or body lotion can make a world of difference in how you experience the product. Feel your best, look your most radiant, and keep skin soft and silky with Malie Organics’ Body Cream.

What is Body Cream?

First things first, the hard-hitting questions: is body cream the same as body lotion? Is body cream the same as body moisturizer? Can you use body cream on your face and vice versa? These are pivotal questions to ask when starting your journey with this type of product.

Both body cream and body lotion are designed to hydrate your skin and prevent it from drying out. The main difference between a lotion and a cream is that cream tends to be thicker and contain less water. Its denser makeup may make it better suited for those with extremely dry skin or people who simply prefer a thicker consistency. 

Generally speaking, it’s best to not use body cream moisturizer on the face unless the product specifies that it is safe to do so. Facial skin tends to be more delicate and is exposed to different things than the body. It may produce more oil  and could be prone to breakouts due to makeup and other facial skin care products. As such, it’s best to use a different cream for your body than for your face.

The Purpose of Body Cream

Think of body cream as the final step in skin care for the entire body. The hydrating, nourishing properties create a protective barrier to lock in moisture and prevent cracked, flaky, dry skin from forming. So if you’re looking for more radiant skin, body cream is the way to go. 

Why We Need Body Cream Moisturizers

The moisturizing component is pivotal in any body cream product. Whether in a set or as a standalone product, body cream offers a host of benefits.

Benefits of Body Cream

• Keep skin hydrated and moisturized 
• Prevents dry, flaky, cracked skin
• Offers protection against the elements
• Helps improve the texture of your skin long term
• Helps delay skin aging
• Can be an aromatherapeutic experience. This is a unique benefit some people overlook but it’s one that Malie Organics is quite passionate about. The process of applying body cream can be calming and relaxing. Additionally, the after-effects of the scent will stay with you for hours as a subtle reminder that you’re doing something good for your body. That’s why it’s so important to choose a body cream aroma that you connect with. At Malie, we offer a range of scents suited to all preferences. They can even be layered Malie’s Organic Perfume or applied after using Malie’s Organic Body Wash to maximize the aromatic experience. 

Key Ingredients in the Best Body Creams

Now for the creme de la creme (pun intended). The ingredients in the body cream you choose will make all the difference in how it benefits your skin. As such, it’s imperative to look for the following ingredients. 

Water or Oil

Noticing water or organic oil as one of the first ingredients in body cream is a good sign as it indicates that the product is designed to provide long-lasting hydration. There is a difference between water-based products and oil-based products. Oil-based body creams like those from Malie are designed to provide instantaneous hydration and skin healing. Water-based products, while still beneficial, may not absorb quite as well. One is not better than the other; they’re just different! It’s important to know your skin type and your needs so you can find the right body cream that satisfies them. 

Glycerin

If you’re not familiar with Glycerin, now is the perfect time to get educated on it. Some  people hear the word Glycerin and think it’s one of those intense chemicals some companies add to their products as filler. As it turns out, Glycerin is anything but. It’s actually a vital ingredient in body cream and lotion. Glycerin is a humectant, which means it pulls water to the outermost layer of the skin to preserve hydration when skin is exposed to the air. Long story short, seeing this ingredient in your body cream of choice is definitely a good thing.

Avocado Oil

Several types of oils can be beneficial for skin health, but one of the best happens to be organic Avocado Oil. known for its moisturizing properties, Avocado Oil is also anti-inflammatory, which means it can calm irritated skin. It also contains essential fatty acids to promote collagen production, which encourages new skin cell growth and turnover.

Organic Extra Virgin Coconut Oil

Another oil to look out for in body skin care is Organic Extra Virgin Coconut Oil. Lucky for you, all of Malie Organics’ body creams contain this ingredient. Naturally anti-bacterial, Coconut Oil contains high levels of antioxidants, which are beneficial for anti-aging and wound healing.

Shea Butter

A fantastic addition to any body cream is Shea Butter. Relieving for dry skin, Shea Butter helps prevent cell damage while offering sun protection. It’s also extremely gentle, making it a great ingredient for those with sensitive skin who may experience allergic reactions to other, harsher ingredients. 

Aloe 

Known as a proven sunburn remedy and equally beneficial for acute burns to the skin, Aloe Vera offers its own set of benefits when part of the ingredient profile of a body cream. Aloe helps stimulate collagen, which boosts elasticity and helps reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. Its lightweight, non-greasy consistency makes it a welcome addition to skin care for the body.
