Vitamin E Cream - Potent Botanical Repair 50ml

The Bio Whenua Vitamin E Cream - Potent Botanical Repair is a rich, soothing face and body moisturiser made to deeply nourish dry, weathered, or tired skin. At the heart of this golden cream is a generous amount of natural Vitamin E, combined with concentrated Rosehip, Calendula, and St John's Wort CO2 extracts. Made with a comforting base of Shea Butter alongside Apricot Kernel, Evening Primrose, Moringa Seed, and Jojoba oils, this smooth cream softens rough skin texture and locks in lasting moisture without feeling heavy or sticky, leaving your skin feeling calm, smooth, and healthy.

Underneath its rich texture, this cream is a balanced mixture of water and oil ingredients that keep moisture in the outer layer of your skin. The water-based part uses purified water and Vegetable Glycerine (a natural moisture-magnet that draws water into the top layer of your skin) to hydrate dry skin cells. The oil-based part blends unrefined Shea Butter with cold-pressed Apricot Kernel, Evening Primrose, Moringa Seed, Jojoba, and Calendula-infused Coconut oils to lock that moisture in so it does not evaporate. To help your skin recover from daily wear and tear, natural Vitamin E works alongside Rosehip, Calendula, and St John's Wort CO2 extracts (extracts made using pressurised carbon dioxide instead of harsh chemicals) to provide daily antioxidant support that helps to protect and comfort skin cells after exposure to sun and wind.

Skincare Ritual & Well-being Applications: The concentrated plant extracts and cold-pressed oils in this cream work together to look after your skin's natural protective barrier, especially on areas that feel dry, rough, or uneven. In herbal textbooks, Calendula flower and St John's Wort extracts are well known for their natural plant compounds that calm skin redness, comfort upset skin, and help keep skin looking smooth and clear [1]. Rosehip CO2 extract is also naturally rich in pro-vitamin A and healthy plant fats that help soften rough skin texture and support healthy skin renewal [2].

The oil blend is naturally high in gamma-linolenic acid (GLA, a healthy Omega-6 fat found in plant seeds) from Evening Primrose Oil, paired with Moringa Seed, Apricot Kernel, and Jojoba oils, which soak in smoothly to comfort dry or fragile skin without blocking pores [2, 3]. This cream is made without added essential oils or artificial perfumes so has a naturally neutral aroma. Gently rubbing a small amount into your face, neck, or dry patches in circular motions for one to two minutes is a calm, comforting ritual morning and night.

Dermal Limits & Clinical Safety: Made without added essential oils or artificial scents, making it a gentle choice for sensitive, dry, or mature skin. Kept fresh and safe from bacteria and mould using a gentle, natural-skincare-approved preservation system (Benzyl Alcohol and Dehydroacetic Acid).

Storage & Degradation: Because natural Vitamin E, Rosehip CO2 extract, and Evening Primrose oil can break down if they get too hot or are left open to the air, always screw the lid on tightly after each use. Store the jar in a cool, dark cupboard away from direct sunlight and heat.

Critical Warnings: For use on the outside of the skin only. Keep out of your eyes. Because St John's Wort extract can sometimes make skin more sensitive to bright sunlight on fair or easily sunburnt skin, apply sunscreen if using this cream on sun-exposed areas during the day. We always recommend testing a small dab of cream on the inside of your arm for 24 hours before using it on a larger area for the first time. If your skin gets red or itchy, stop using it and wash the area with warm water.
