Inspired by Cleopatra's Timeless Rituals
Channel the legendary beauty of ancient Egypt with this luxurious Kānuka & Rose Tallow Face Cream.
Cleopatra, the ultimate icon of radiance, harnessed natural treasures from the Nile to combat the desert's harshness—donkey milk baths, honey, olive oil, rose petals, and prized oils for hydration, glow, and eternal youth.
Naturally, I’ve reimagined her wisdom in a modern, soul-nourishing cream.
What's Inside & Why It Works
Organic Grass-Fed Tallow (sourced from a trusted homesteader in Kawakawa): Creamy, nutrient-dense, & remarkably similar to your skin's own sebum. Packed with fatty acids (oleic, palmitic, stearic, linoleic) and vitamins A, D, E, K for deep moisturization, barrier repair, anti-inflammatory calm, and gentle regeneration—ideal for dry, irritated, or mature skin.
Kanuka-Infused Apricot Kernel Oil: kānuka brings potent antibacterial, antifungal, anti-inflammatory, and calming properties. Apricot kernel oil adds intense non-greasy hydration, anti-aging protection, softness, radiance, and gentle nourishment delivering kanuka's benefits deeper and faster for clearer, calmer, more supple skin.
Moringa Oil: A true ancient Egyptian favorite (often linked to Cleopatra's anti-aging secrets), rich in antioxidants, vitamins, and oleic acid to smooth fine lines, boost elasticity, and deliver that coveted radiant glow.
Almond Oil: Cleopatra's go-to softener, used in her famous milk baths for emollient nourishment and mild exfoliation from natural mandelic acid.
Olive Oil/Squalane: A Mediterranean staple in Egyptian routines for hydration, shine, and timeless anti-aging protection.
Rose Oil & Petals: Symbol of luxury and calm—Cleopatra bathed in rose-infused waters for soothing, hydrating fragrance and skin-balancing magic. (Rose water toner coming soon!)
Rosehip Oil: The "oil of youth" for potent vitamin C, regeneration, and brightening—honoring Cleopatra's pursuit of flawless skin.
Aloe Vera Butter: The plant of immortality from ancient Egypt, adding anti-inflammatory relief, humectant hydration without greasiness, healing support (fading scars, soothing irritation), collagen-boosting antioxidants, and a lighter, luxurious texture that melts in beautifully.
Castor Oil: Treasured in ancient Egypt (Cleopatra reportedly used it for hair, eyes, and skin)—rich in ricinoleic acid for intense moisturization, anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial benefits, acne-fighting potential, wound healing, and a plumping, softening effect that reduces puffiness and fine lines.
Jojoba Oil: Mimics skin's natural sebum for balanced hydration—non-comedogenic, antioxidant-rich (with vitamin E), regulates oil production, adds silky smoothness, and enhances tallow's texture for a lighter, more absorbent feel. Ideal for all skin types, especially when combined with tallow for repair and protection.
Vitamin E: A powerful antioxidant (naturally present in tallow and boosted here) that fights free radicals, protects against environmental damage, supports healing, preserves the formula's freshness, and amplifies anti-aging effects for firmer, more resilient skin.
Scented with essential oils of neroli, rose & frankinsense
Coloured with French pink clay and mica
The Result? Balanced, deeply nourished skin that's soft, resilient, and glowing—not greasy or heavy. Perfect for daily facial use, especially in New Zealand's variable climate. Handcrafted with intention, this cream revives Cleopatra's natural elegance for modern radiance.
Patch test recommended. For all skin types, especially dry/sensitive/mature.
Store in a cool place.
