Get Up to 20% More Moisture Without Damaging Our Earth

Euglena Gracilis is a million year old algae that is grown in fermenters (much like brewing beer) here in Ontario Canada. It has unique properties that make it useful for skin care - it aids in collagen production and moisture retention, up to 20% more than hyaluronic acid. And its spongey cellulose also helps make our compostable packaging more flexible.

The Ingredients You Already Love & the Ingredients You're Going to Love

We use clinical doses of proven ingredients like hyaluronic acid, vitamin C and squalene, made in Canada, where the regulations are among the most stringent in the world.

We also use Euglena Gracilis, our small batch fermented, single cell algae, that produces a highly pure and crystaline form of beta glucan, shown to increase collagen production and moisture retention - up to 20% more than hyaluronic acid. It's a great compliment to hyaluronic acid because it draws moisture from within the body, while hyaluronic acid tends to draw moisture from outside the body.

Originally used in wound treatment - to aid in collagen production - beta glucan became a natural fit for skin care, and our beta glucans are the first derived from this naturally fermented algae.

Health food for your face

This is great moisturizer. Very effective but light, not greasy. Doesn’t anger my sensitive skin. Full of good ingredients - feels like health food for your face. And a little goes a long way! Just a scant fingertip-worth is enough, at least in the midwest summer, I could see needing a little more in winter. I’m definitely not “settling” for plastic-free, this is better than my previous go-to mainstream fancy brand.

Face moisturizer review!

I used this right away when it arrived. It is light, feels good on my face and I am going to use it until it is gone and then buy some more. It is quite lovely.

Light and Powerful!

I was skeptical as I have very sensitive aging skin. At 51 my skin needs some care. After switching to the Etee facial bar I thought I'd go ahead and give the face cream a try. SO glad I did! Lightweight but deep moisturizing without residue and I'm not putting more plastic out into the world. My skincare routine is set now. Though I'd love to see a face scrub at some point :)

What I was looking for

I just wanted a nice, eco-friendly moisturizer to deal with New England winter and summer. Now I have it, with a clean conscience and no plastic. Very satisfied. And it works better than the stuff I had before.

I love it!

It is light and easy to apply and the scent is pleasing but subtle. It doesn't make my skin feel hot. I don't know if it is making me look ten years younger, but I shall continue using it anyway!

Feels so good

This cream is just perfect for me. I have mature skin. When I apply the cream it feels good. It absorbs quickly. My skin feels soft and moisturized until the next wash. Not greasy at all.

Good face moisturizer

I have very dry skin and your cream really helps. I apply twice a day along with my sunscreen . It works well, and I will keep buying it.

Paula Collier

 

outstanding!

I can't believe how incredible this moisturizer is and at this price point! Love it.

Love the new Face Moisturizer

I love the new Face Moisturizer. It is not greasy at all, like many other moisturizers. I do wish it was scented, to make it feel less medical. I will definitely by it again (despite being unscented).

New etee face moisturizer

I honestly bought it because I already like so many products from etee, but I half expected that the only thing I would like about would be the glass jar and plastic-free shipping. I was wrong! It is amazingly light, smooth and hydrating, even on my middle-aged face. And a little goes a long way. I will be buying it again.

Face Moisturizer

A little goes a long way! It goes on easily and makes my skin feel clean and soft and moisturized. I love that it is not heavy in texture and that there is no overpowering scent. I would definitely recommend this product! Great job Etee!

Susan Nash

 

A Solid Moisturizer

I like this moisturizer. A little goes a long way, and it doesn’t have a scent. Although it contains hyaluronic acid it’s still very mild.

Mary M

 

Moisturizer

I really like this moisturizer so far. It's very light and makes my skin feel so soft. Also, I noticed w other moisturizers that I've used that they tend to be very irritating if I get close to my eyes. With this moisturizer that hasn't happened! I would definitely recommend it!

Kimberly Cunningham

 

Face Moisturizer

I like this product. It hydrates well, is not overly greasy and does not clog my pores. A little goes a long way so one jar will last many months. I would recommend it and plan to purchase again in the future.

Beta-glucans acts as a humectant in the skin, and as such lock hydration in and prevent moisture loss. Interestingly, like retinol and hyaluronic acid which are two of the cosmetic industry’s most impactful products due to their high-water capacity - beta-glucans can do the same job - if not better. In fact, studies suggest that beta-glucans can lock in 20% more moisture than hyaluronic acid, and thus, beta-glucan can plump up the skin and make the skin feel even more supple.
Beta-glucans are immune-modulating compounds and have proven efficacy in this domain. Specifically, beta-glucans protect against encroaching bacteria that can disrupt the skin's barrier by stimulating macrophages and other immune cells to attack and protect against pathogens. For this reason, beta-glucans are especially well-suited for people with dry, rough, or cracked skin. In fact, for people with compromised skin barriers like those with eczema or dermatitis, beta-glucans can help prevent pathogens from passing through the skin barrier creating an all-natural option to improve skin health.
Beta-glucans are being highly investigated for their anti-aging effects. In fact, this is one of the skincare concerns that beta-glucans primarily address. In this regard, one study found that despite its comparatively large molecular size, beta-glucans can deeply penetrate the epidermis to effectively plump up fine lines and wrinkles.
