SunDew Vitamin D Crème

A topical application of vitamin D3 delivers the blessings of sunbeams upon your skin. We swirl this sundew with four kinds of revelrous restoring roses, serenely smoothing sandalwood and seabuckthorn, pleasant palmarosa’s balancing beams, fortifying frankincense, regenerating ginger, toning turmeric and thyme, and illustrious immortelle with its revered reputation for replenishing skin along with herbal infusions of skin-strengthening herbs for a dewy glow. It is especially enlivening in winter days when dry skin and humor need a sunny pick-me-up.

Along with optimal vitamin D intake and appropriate skin to sun-beam contact, topical vitamin D is lubricating and can create a rejuvenating and quenching effect on skin.

Directions

Apply to skin, the normal amount you would use to moisturize your skin, in the morning for a daily dollop of vitamin D crème. We especially love to use this during cold winter seasons and days of rain when we can’t go outside to play.
