Rich Cream 50 ml

The Rich Cream from The Glow combines an intensively nourishing cream base with selected active ingredients for dry, dehydrated, and demanding skin. Bakuchiol, hydrolyzed lupine protein, and snow mushroom extract support a smoother, plumper skin surface, while ceramides and rich plant lipids strengthen the weakened skin barrier.

The creamy texture provides the skin with moisture and lipids and helps reduce feelings of tightness as well as dry, rough areas. Depending on the condition of the skin, Rich Cream can be used morning and evening, as a rich night cream, or especially during the cold season.

• Bakuchiol supports skin renewal and helps fine lines, pigmentation irregularities, and uneven texture appear less pronounced
• Lupine protein and snow mushroom extract improve moisture retention and promote a smoother, plumper-looking complexion
• Ceramides, aloe vera, and magnolia bark extract strengthen the skin barrier and help soothe sensitive or stressed skin
• Apricot kernel and avocado oils as well as shea and cocoa butter provide nourishing lipids and protect dry skin from further moisture loss
  

Sea buckthorn oil and vitamin E complement the formula with antioxidant properties. Orange blossom water forms the moisturizing base together with aloe vera. Essential oils of patchouli, lavender, lavandin, and geranium give the cream its aromatic floral fragrance.

Rich Cream is particularly suitable for dry, dehydrated, sensitive, barrier-compromised, and mature skin. Normal skin can use it as a night cream or in cool, dry weather. On very oily or blemish-prone skin, the rich texture may feel too heavy.

The Glow is an owner-operated natural cosmetics brand from Munich, founded by Anita Scheiba. The intentionally streamlined skincare line combines plant oils, plant butters, hydrolats, and botanical active ingredients in versatile products. Instead of rigid routines, it focuses on the skin’s current condition—for uncomplicated, sensory, and needs-based care.

How to use

• In the morning and/or evening after cleansing, apply an approximately pea-sized amount to the face, neck, and décolleté and massage in gently.
• For better moisture, apply a few drops of Floral Essence to cleansed skin beforehand. Then apply Rich Cream while the skin is still slightly damp.
• For particularly dry skin, one or two drops of Everything Oil or Master Elixir can be mixed directly with the cream in the palm of your hand. This makes the treatment richer and allows it to be spread especially smoothly.
• For normal skin or during warmer months, Rich Cream is often sufficient as a night cream. Dry, lipid-deficient skin can also use it during the day.

Active ingredients

• Apricot kernel oil (Prunus Armeniaca kernel/seed oil) maintains the skin’s natural protective mantle, revitalizes it, and supports elasticity. It absorbs quickly, soothes stressed skin, and leaves a velvety skin feel. Apricot kernel oil has a high content of oleic and linoleic acids and makes the complexion appear finer and well moisturized.
• Shea butter (Butyrospermum parkii (shea) nut butter) is obtained from the fruits of the karité tree. Shea butter has a long tradition as a skincare and healing ingredient. Rich in unsaturated fatty acids, vitamin E, and beta-carotene, the butter protects against environmental stressors, binds moisture, combats free radicals, promotes cell regeneration, and makes skin and hair soft and smooth.
• Cocoa butter (Theobroma Cacao Seed Butter) spreads easily and leaves the skin feeling velvety and soft. Saturated fatty acids such as palmitic acid and stearic acid replenish lipids and strengthen the skin barrier. Vitamin E, alpha-tocopherol, trace elements, and minerals help the skin regenerate and compensate for cell damage. A powerful moisturizer, especially for dry and mature skin.
• Avocados (persea gratissima oil / fruit extract) are rich in monounsaturated fatty acids, vitamin E, proteins, copper, folic acid, and magnesium—all building blocks for healthy skin and hair. Due to its high phytosterol content, avocado oil spreads easily and absorbs quickly. It supports the skin’s moisture balance, protects it from drying out, and helps prevent wrinkles.
• Bakuchiol / bakuchi seed oil (Bakuchi (Psoralea corylifolia) Seed Oil) is obtained from the seeds and leaves of the Indian plant Psoralea Corylifolia and is considered a natural retinol alternative. A powerful plant for treating skin discoloration, hyperpigmentation, and leukoderma. With antibacterial, antiviral, and antifungal properties, bakuchi supports the skin’s natural tone and helps normalize individual skin pigmentation. Bakuchiol has been shown to stimulate collagen production, minimize fine lines and wrinkles, and improve the skin’s texture and firmness. The active ingredient has a long tradition as a medicinal plant in Ayurveda and Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM). Unlike traditional retinoids, it does not cause skin burning, irritation, or redness.
• Hydrolyzed lupine protein (Hydrolyzed Lupine Protein) is obtained from the lupine plant and is known for its moisturizing and skin-firming properties. It helps regenerate the skin by stimulating collagen production and promoting skin elasticity. This contributes to improving skin texture and can reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. It is also a good ingredient for sensitive skin because it acts gently and strengthens the skin barrier.
• Snow mushroom (Tremella Fuciformis (Snow Mushroom) Extract) acts like a plant-based form of hyaluronic acid and is therefore also called botanical hyaluronic acid. The extract of the snow mushroom is very similar to hyaluronic acid in its chemical structure and has equally strong moisturizing and moisture-binding properties.
• Ceramides are lipids (fats) that occur naturally in our skin. They form the basis of the skin’s barrier function. The skin barrier prevents pollutants from entering the skin and helps keep it well moisturized. A functioning skin barrier is essential for healthy skin. Ceramides reduce transepidermal water loss, also known as TEWL (Trans Epidermal Water Loss), and protect against environmental stressors, bacteria, and other influences to which the skin is exposed. Ceramides are therefore effective anti-aging ingredients that also help keep the skin supple and soft.

Frequently asked questions

What skin type is Rich Cream suitable for?
The cream is particularly suitable for dry, dehydrated, sensitive, barrier-compromised, and mature skin. Normal skin can use it as a night cream or in cold, dry weather.

Can Rich Cream be used morning and evening?
Yes. Dry, lipid-deficient skin can apply the cream morning and evening. For normal skin or during warmer months, application in the evening is often sufficient.

Does Rich Cream contain retinol?
No. The formula contains bakuchiol, but no retinol or other retinoid. Bakuchiol is a plant-based alternative to retinol and supports similar skincare goals, such as a smoother and more even-looking complexion, but has a different chemical structure.

Is Rich Cream suitable for sensitive skin?
The Glow explicitly recommends the cream for sensitive and barrier-compromised skin. However, it contains essential oils of lavender, lavandin, patchouli, and geranium. Very reactive or fragrance-sensitive skin should therefore test tolerance carefully at first.

Is Rich Cream also suitable for redness?
Ceramides, magnolia bark extract, aloe vera, and the rich lipid base support the skin barrier and may help dry or irritation-related redness appear more balanced. However, the cream does not treat rosacea or couperose.

Can Rich Cream be used on oily or blemish-prone skin?
The rich texture was developed primarily for dry, lipid-deficient skin. On oily or blemish-prone skin, it may feel too heavy. In this case, start with a small amount or use a lighter moisturizer.

How do I combine Rich Cream with Floral Essence?
Apply Floral Essence first to cleansed skin. Then apply Rich Cream while the skin is still slightly damp. This provides the skin with both moisture and protective lipids.

Can Rich Cream be mixed with a facial oil?
Yes. For very dry skin, one or two drops of Everything Oil or Master Elixir can be mixed directly with the cream in the palm of your hand.

Is the cream richer than Everything Oil?
The products have different textures. Rich Cream combines water, humectants, plant oils, butters, and ceramides into a complete cream. Everything Oil is water-free and is primarily used to help retain moisture already present in the skin.
