For face and body.  Exceptionally rich moisturizing skin cream.  Made entirely by hand in a monastery.

Fresh® Creme Ancienne™ is the ultimate treatment moisturizer for the face and body.  This remarkable formulation prevents and alleviates dry skin conditions, resulting in exceptionally soft, supple skin and a healthy, glowing complexion.

Creme Ancienne's incredibly rich texture comes from combining pure, long-established ingredients with advanced modern ones.  The resulting formulation produces a protective barrier that prevents moisture loss and shields the skin from harmful elements.  Meadowfoam oil is the pillar of Creme Ancienne™.  Extremely emollient, meadowfoam oil contains a distinct triglyceride that nourishes and moisturizes the skin like no other oil, and penetrates with remarkable ease.  Meadowfoam oil delivers essential nutrients below the skin's surface to cells responsible for preserving critical hydration levels.  Chamomile wax and beeswax create a protective and moisture-preserving shield on the skin's surface.  Lavender and rose floral waters provide the cream with the perfect balance of serenity and stimulation.  Exquisite oils of osmanthus, lemon peel and chamomile rejuvenate and soothe even the most delicate complexions.  Anti-oxidant rich vitamin E protects, firms and smoothes the skin.  Sodium borate serves as a natural preservative for the cream.

Intent on preserving the purity, craftsmanship and spirit of this formulation, small batches of Fresh® Creme Ancienne™ are prepared entirely by hand at a monastery.

Fresh® Creme Ancienne™ restores an ancient formula to its rightful place in the history and future of skin care.  Inspired by the world's first cream created by Claudius Galenus (Claude Galen) in the 2nd century A.D., Creme Ancienne™ combines effective modern ingredients with those authentic to Galen's legendary formula and allows us to bear witness to the evolution of skincare and its progress.  Galen's original Cerat was developed as a cure-all medicinal salve for skin irritations and injuries.  Galen, one of the most influential physicians of Greek antiquity, was a founder of scientific medicine and pharmacy as well as one of the first medical philosophers.  His writings became the basis for medical teaching and practice for 1,500 years.
