Creme Ancienne

Product Description
Ingredients

Fresh Creme Ancienne is an ultra rich, remarkable cream that instantly rehydrates, increases moisture retention, smoothes and plumps, increases elasticity and firmness, rejuvenates, repairs, and provides environmental protection to dehydrated skin on the face and body. Works for all types of skin.

A modern formulation inspired by the work of Claudius Galenus (Galen), a 2nd century scientist and physician who developed the first known skincare cream and used it as salve to treat burns and wounds, Creme Ancienne combines the core ingredients of Galenus' formula: rosewater, beeswax, and borax with modern day ingredients like, chamomile wax, meadowfoam oil, and vitamin E. In order to preserve the legacy, craftsmanship, and spirit of this formulation, small batches are prepared entirely by hand in a monastery, with each jar taking up to two days to produce.

Favorite Cream EVER!!!!

Love this stuff. I'm not buying the fact that it is handmade in some monistary or that can be used in the hair but I will say my eyes, face and throat have never felt better.
