Escentia Natural Body Cream Base is an unscented cream base designed as a simple, versatile starting point for DIY body care. It works as a ready-made cream canvas that you can use as is, or customise with essential oils, carrier oils, plant infusions, and other compatible actives to create your own body creams and lotions. The formula is made with natural and naturally derived ingredients that absorb comfortably without a heavy, greasy finish. This base is recommended for body care rather than delicate facial use unless your customised blend has been carefully patch tested.
♡ Why we love it: This is the kind of base that makes DIY body care feel approachable without limiting your creativity. It is easy to work with, fragrance free, and flexible enough for everything from simple body moisturisers to more personalised blends tailored to your routine.
Also available in Sample Sizes.

Faqs
Q: Can I use this cream base without adding anything?
A: Yes. It can be used as is as an unscented body cream, or customised with suitable additions.

A: Yes, but if you add an aqueous phase, you should also use an appropriate preservative system to help keep the
product stable and safe.
Q: Is this suitable for facial use?
A: It is recommended primarily for body care. Facial use should only be considered after careful patch testing of your
customised blend.

So dissapointed with this cream. I developed a horrific red rash and burning literally within seconds of applying it to my face. I think you should put a warning on the website that it is not suitable for sensitive skin.
This cream has a smooth , light texture. A perfect vehicle to add your own blends . Perfect body cream. Softer and lighter than the Shea butter cream.
I bought this cream recently,love how fluffy it is but it has a funny musky smell,like old oil- oil that's not fresh,is this normal or should I throw it away? I can smell the essential oils I added to it not it leaves a slightly musky scent..
Hi Abby, it is likely just the scent of one of the oils contained in the cream - some unrefined oils do have 'interesting' scents which can come through in the final product.
The cream definitely isn't old as we have a high turn over of this product, so it is guaranteed to always be fresh.
