An ultra-rich moisturizing cream formulated with Fucus Vesiculosus Extract and a blend of mineral-rich ingredients to deeply hydrate and support the skin's barrier. This is the original cult classic that relies on a heavy, occlusive base of petrolatum and wax to lock in moisture, making it a heavy hitter for very dry patches. It’s not a "slap it on and go" formula; you really need to warm it between your fingertips until it turns translucent to get the best results.
