Did you know that conventional face creams contain up to 80% water? And that where there's water, preservatives and emulsifiers are never far away? When I realized this, I started asking myself: Does my skin really need this? The answer is: No! Let's discover together why water-free facial care can be the better choice.
Highly concentrated active ingredients for optimal care
In waterless products, the active ingredients are not diluted. This means that even the smallest amount of a product contains the full power of the ingredients. The nutrients from organic shea butter, valuable plant oils, and active ingredients like hyaluronic acid can optimally unfold their nourishing effects.
Anhydrous yet preserved!
Where there is no water or other moisture, bacteria cannot grow. Therefore, preservatives can be omitted:
- No artificial preservatives needed
- Long-lasting naturally
- Less potential skin irritations because it is milder
- Ideal for sensitive skin
Sustainability meets efficiency
Because the products are highly concentrated, you need significantly less per application. Our face balms therefore last significantly longer than conventional face creams.

This is how to use it correctly
The right application makes the difference:
- Cleanse your face
- Take a pea-sized portion of the anhydrous Shea Face Balm from the can
- Melt the balm in the palms of your hands or apply it directly to your face
- Apply the balm to still damp skin (you can dry the skin normally, some residual moisture will remain anyway) -> This way the product combines optimally with the moisture and locks it into the skin.
Conclusion
After years of experience with water-free facial care, I'm convinced: less is more! Concentrated care without unnecessary additives is exactly what our skin needs. For me, water-free facial care is definitely the future of sustainable skincare, as it combines everything modern beauty products should offer: effectiveness, naturalness, and environmental friendliness. Start your clean beauty journey and try it for yourself – your skin will feel the difference and thank you.

FAQs
Q: Why do conventional face creams contain so much water?
A: Many conventional face creams contain up to 80% water to make their texture easy and inexpensive to create. However, water dilutes the active ingredients and necessitates the use of preservatives and emulsifiers, as it provides an ideal breeding ground for bacteria.
Q: What are the benefits of waterless facial care?
A: Water-free facial care is highly concentrated, contains no unwanted additives, and is therefore ideal for sensitive skin. It provides more intensive care, saves on packaging, and lasts longer—a real win for both skin and the environment.
Q: How do you use water-free care products correctly?
A: Apply a small amount (the size of a pea) to cleansed, still slightly damp skin. This allows the balm to optimally combine with the remaining moisture and lock it into the skin – for long-lasting care and a natural glow.
