The Perfect Autumn Cream – Nourishment, Hydration, and Regeneration
Autumn is the time when our skin needs special care. Cold air, wind, and indoor heating lead to dryness and weaken the natural protective barrier. In this season, it is worth using a cream that not only hydrates, but also nourishes, regenerates, and protects the skin from the first signs of aging.
In this article, we present a DIY cream based on ingredients from our shop, which combines all these properties and is perfect for autumn days.
Why is this cream perfect for autumn?
Hydration and protection against dryness In autumn, the skin easily loses moisture. Ultramicronized hyaluronic acid draws water into the deeper layers of the epidermis, while shea butter and an oil (e.g., argan oil) create a protective film that locks in moisture.
Post-summer regeneration The skin after summer is often dry and irritated. Damask rose hydrosol soothes redness, vitamin C brightens discolorations, and stem cells from white oak bark support cellular renewal.
Anti-aging effects Cold air promotes the formation of fine lines. LIFTISS®SB and hydrolyzed keratin firm, smooth, and improve skin elasticity.
Rich, nourishing formula In autumn, the skin needs more lipids than in summer. Shea butter and plant oils help restore the natural lipid barrier, leaving the skin soft and smooth.
Water phase: Mix the damask rose hydrosol with hyaluronic acid until fully dissolved.
Oil phase: Melt the shea butter (in a water bath or briefly on a warm radiator), then add the argan oil. Stir until smooth.
Combining phases: Slowly pour the water phase into the oil phase, stirring continuously until an emulsion forms.
Adding active ingredients: Add vitamin C in oil, stem cells from white oak bark, LIFTISS®SB, and the eco-coconut preservative.
Storage: Transfer the finished cream into a clean jar and store in a cool place.
💡 If you prefer another oil from the densiLab range, such as hemp oil, jojoba oil, or macadamia oil, you can safely use it instead of argan oil. Each oil brings unique properties that enrich your autumn skincare.
Consistency and Use
The ingredient ratios are designed to create a light cream, more like a lotion than a heavy nourishing cream.
If you want to thicken the formula, add more shea butter (the cream will thicken when the butter cools).
Due to the slightly oily-nourishing texture, the cream is best suited for:
Night use – supports skin regeneration and maintains moisture during sleep.
Day use – suitable for normal or dry skin; in autumn, it is recommended under makeup or sunscreen (SPF), as oils may leave a slight shine.
Shelf Life
With eco-coconut preservative: 6–8 weeks at room temperature or in the fridge; can be extended to about 3 months if stored in a dark, cool place in a clean jar.
Summary
This cream is the perfect solution for autumn, combining intense hydration, nourishment, regeneration, and anti-aging effects. Thanks to carefully selected oils, butters, and active ingredients, the skin remains soft, smooth, and protected against the harmful effects of weather and indoor heating.
