What is it? Skin Quenching Moisturiser is super lightweight, humectant-rich moisturiser which features components found in the skin’s own Natural Moisturising Factors (NMF) is formulated for normal-combination and oily skin types – especially dehydrated skin, to hydrate and replenish the water content of the skin, supporting a healthy skin barrier.

Notes from the Curator: Hydrated skin is crucial for optimal skin barrier function. The Skin Quenching Moisturiser leaves the skin feeling supple and comfortable whilst reducing tightness. If you dislike the feeling of heavy, cloying textures, this moisturiser is for you! Easily absorbed with a non-greasy feel.

Let’s Get Nerdy: Key ingredients:-

Urea: Urea is part of the natural moisturising factor (NMF) of skin, it retains moisture and is essential for maintaining the health, function and hydration of the stratum corneum

Sodium PCA: another component of skin’s NMF which increases water content in the top layer of the skin and helps to maintain a healthy skin

Olive squalane: lightweight and easily absorbed, squalane softens and protects the skin and helping to seal in moisture – providing a degree of occlusion without feeling heavy

Skin replenishing ceramide complex: key components of your skin’s natural lipid mix that help to form a protective layer

Formulated without fragrance or essential oils & alcohol. Suitable for all skin types, especially for normal-combination and oily skin. Can also be used as a hydrating serum for drier skin types.

ABOUT THE BRAND
Natasha Dauncey, founder of Apothaka® is passionate about creating thoughtful formulations which support a healthy skin barrier through a "less is more" approach to skincare. Where so much of the beauty industry is focused on an unrealistic goal around "perfect" or "flawless" skin, Apothaka® is here to reset the goal to healthy, happy skin (and healthy ageing while we're at it!) for everyone!

Natasha carefully designs her own formulations using the best of what nature & science have to offer (skincare doesn't need to be about one OR the other!). Everything is made in the UK, no pre-made bases are used, giving her full control of the ingredients, which she selects based on their benefits for your skin and their texture. Apothaka® products are about improving the way skin looks and feels but also about enjoying the experience of using them: like bringing a bit of the spa experience at home.
HOW TO USE
Dispense around a pump of moisturiser (with a couple of drops of face oil if needed) and gently massage into damp, clean skin after your other skincare steps. Can be used morning and night, and under the eye area. Complete your daytime routine with a broad-spectrum sunscreen to protect your skin after the moisturiser has fully dried down.

Store in a cool, dry place out of direct sunlight. Patch test first. As with all products, discontinue use if irritation occurs.

Once opened, use within 12 months
