The Best Moisturizer
For Dry Skin

Frustrated with dry skin that you just can't seem to fix? You don't have to be. Once you understand the causes for dry skin, the solution is actually quite simple. Let us explain...

What Causes Dry Skin?

1.

Genetics

A lack of oil production and genetics. If your skin lacks oil production, it will also lack moisture. This is because your skin’s sebum, which contains lipids, helps seal in moisture.

2.

Environment

Dry climate or environment. If you live in a dry climate, it’s likely your skin’s moisture is being depleted. Tip: A humidifier can help add moisture to your indoor living spaces, improving skin’s moisture retention.

3.

Acne Medications

Acne medications and retinol. These products can dry out skin. If you’re using them and experiencing dry skin, we recommend consulting with your dermatologist to see if you can get a more gentle prescription or if you can reduce treatments.

4.

Water

Hard water or long, hot showers. Hot water strips moisture from skin. Try lukewarm water instead.

5.

Other Unnatural Ingredients

Certain ingredients like sulfates and fragrance. These ingredients can irritate and dry out skin, so we recommend avoiding them completely.

How Bambu Earth's Petitgrain Moisturizer Was Formulated To Solve These Problems

Let's summarize that info above: natural oil is the key to moist skin. Water and harsh additives are the big problems. It's simple enough, which means for us, the solution was simple too: a truly clean moisturizer with all-natural ingredients and no added water or harsh chemicals, with the goal of supporting your skin's oil production.

The Bambu Earth

Petitgrain Moisturizer IS:

Rich in lipids (i.e. healthy fats)

to help build and replenish the skin’s barrier and balance skin’s sebum (oil) production.


Water-free

Since water dries out your skin, the #1 ingredient we use in the Petigrain Moisturizer is ethically sourced shea butter, an emollient and skin "superfood" that captures your skin's natural moisture to hydrate, condition and support skin elasticity.

Enhanced With Petitgrain Essential Oil

Struggling with acne? Petitgrain essential oil helps keep skin clear by discouraging blemishes, but without drying out your skin with harsh retinol.

The Best Moisturizer For Dry Skin

Frustrated with dry skin that you just can't seem to fix? You don't have to be. Once you understand the causes for dry skin, the solution is actually quite simple. Let us explain...

What Causes Dry Skin?

1.

Genetics

Some people's skin produces less oil than others. If that's you, then your skin will also feel dry. Why? Because your skin’s oils (called sebum) are what your body uses to do the natural work of sealing in moisture. If this is your problem, then more oil = moister skin.

2.

Environment

If you live in a dry climate, it’s likely your skin’s moisture is being depleted. One easy way to fight that: a humidifier, which can help add moisture to your indoor living spaces, improving skin’s moisture retention.

3.

Acne Medications

Especially if they contain retinol. Retinol decreases your skin's oil production, which can irritate and dry out your skin as your start using it. If you’re using this, we recommend consulting with your dermatologist to see if you can get a more gentle prescription or if you can reduce treatments.

4.

Water

This is a big one. Sometimes this is in the form of hard water or long, hot showers. Hot water strips moisture from skin, so try lukewarm water instead. But it's also an issue in lots of popular moisturizers (even some that claim to be all natural). Remember: oil is what helps seal moisture into your skin. Water fights against this. If your moisturizer lists water anywhere in the upper half of its ingredients and you have dry skin, it's probably time to consider switching.

5.

Other Unnatural Ingredients

Common additives in popular moisturizers like sulfates and fragrances can irritate and dry out skin, and they provide no benefit to your skin. How strongly do we believe this? Strongly enough that we started a clean skincare brand way back in 2009, and our core moisturizer still has just four all natural ingredients.
