Nautica Shea Cream Base - Natural is a rich cream base made with shea butter, cocoa butter, rice bran oil, and sesame seed oil for a moisturising, nourishing skin feel. It can be used as is as a body cream or customised with essential oils and compatible actives to suit your own formulation style. Because it is already fully made, it is especially useful for people who want a more luxurious cream base without needing to build an emulsion from scratch. It is fragrance free and suitable for body use, and may also be used on the face with appropriate caution for individual sensitivity.
♡ Why we love it: This is a beautifully practical base when you want a richer cream with a more luxurious feel but do not want to formulate from zero. It is especially useful for simple body care projects and custom blends that need a nourishing, fragrance-free starting point.
