The Ilex Wood Rose & Frankincense Face Cream — 60ml Natural Vegan Moisturiser, Anti-Ageing

A rich, 100% natural rose and frankincense face cream that deeply moisturises, smooths fine lines and supports a radiant, youthful-looking complexion.

This handcrafted facial cream from The Ilex Wood combines nourishing plant butters and oils with aromatic essential oils to create a concentrated, oil-based moisturiser and toner replacement. Formulated for dry to combination skin, the 60ml balm uses shea, jojoba, coconut and raspberry seed oils alongside rose and frankincense to hydrate and help reduce the appearance of ageing signs without synthetic additives. Packaged plastic-free and vegan, it’s a clean-beauty option for anyone seeking a simple, effective daily facial treatment.

How does this cream hydrate without leaving a greasy film?

The formula balances heavier butters with lighter carrier oils so it absorbs rather than sits on skin. Apply a small, pea-sized amount and allow the oil-balm to warm and sink in, delivering lasting moisture without a slick residue.

• Shea butter provides deep emollience while jojoba mimics skin’s natural oils.
• Raspberry seed and coconut oils offer quick absorption and skin-softening benefits.
• Concentrated texture means minimal product achieves full-face coverage.

What anti-ageing benefits can I expect from rose and frankincense?

Rose and frankincense are chosen for their skin-conditioning and soothing aromatherapeutic properties rather than clinical claims. Regular use can support smoother-looking skin and help improve the feel and tone of dry, mature areas when combined with consistent skincare habits.

• Rose essential oil helps comfort and condition delicate facial skin.
• Frankincense supports a calmer-looking complexion and adds a warm, grounding scent.
• Geranium and lavender round out the blend for balanced aroma and skin support.

Is this suitable for sensitive or vegan skincare routines?

Yes — the cream is made from natural, plant-derived ingredients and is free from palm oil and animal products, making it vegan-friendly and a good match for sensitive skin when patch-tested. Because it’s oil-based and concentrated, patch testing is recommended for those with extreme sensitivities.

• 100% natural ingredients: no synthetic fragrances or preservatives.
• Cruelty-free, palm-oil-free, and packaged without plastic.
• Recommended: patch test behind the ear before full-face use.

How should I use the cream for morning and evening routines?

Use a pea-sized amount on clean, dry skin; press gently to help the oils absorb. For mornings, follow with a sunscreen; at night, apply a slightly larger amount to zones needing extra nourishment like around the mouth and eyes.

• Day: light application, then an SPF overtop for protection.
• Night: richer layer on targeted areas for intensive overnight nourishment.
• Allow time for absorption before applying makeup to avoid transfer.
