Face Food | Original Cucumber & Carrot
- In stock, ready to ship
The cream that customers abandon La Mer for. Yes, really.
Face Food isn't trying to be fancy. It's cucumber distillate, carrot seed oil, and unrefined shea butter doing exactly what they're supposed to do: fix your dry, angry, tired skin. This was one of Emily's first creations back when she was just trying to solve her own skin problems. Turns out, when you use real ingredients instead of marketing nonsense, you get something that actually works.
The texture is intentionally dense; this isn't some whipped air-filled fluff. It's concentrated moisture that melts into skin without leaving you looking like a glazed donut. Works as an eye cream in the morning, a full-face treatment at night, or that emergency fix when your skin is throwing a tantrum. And yes, people really do leave those luxury creams for this jar. We have the reviews to prove it."Face Food was born from desperation. My skin was so dry it hurt, and nothing worked. So I made something that did. Real cucumber for cooling, carrot seed for regeneration, sheabutter for barrier repair. It's not revolutionary, it's just honest. Sometimes that's all you need."
Why You'll Love Face Food
- Cucumber distillate actually depuffs. Not just claims to, but legitimately reduces morning eye bags and angry red patches
- Carrot seed oil brings vitamin A and antioxidants that help with cell turnover without the irritation of retinols
- Unrefined shea butter creates a protective barrier that locks moisture in for hours, not minutes
- Dense enough for overnight repair, light enough for daytime use. It's the multitasker that actually multitasks
- Pro tip: Grab our bamboo spatula (sold separately) to keep your jar pristine and make application feel extra special
This Is Why We Do It
"I have been using this since 2012. Periodically I try another moisturizer, even La Mer, but I always come back to this. Not heavy. It has a very light fragrance."
The Ritual
Morning: Pat a tiny amount around your eyes (seriously, a little goes far). Watch those bags deflate. Evening: Go bigger. Warm it between your fingers first, then press (don't rub) into your whole face. Let it sit for a minute before you hit the pillow. Want to keep your jar cleaner? Our bamboo cosmetic spatula (perfect companion, sold below) lets you scoop the perfect amount without the finger-diving. Plus it just feels fancy.Key Ingredients
- Cucumber Distillate The real deal, not cucumber "extract": steam-distilled cucumber water that actually calms inflammation and reduces puffiness.
- Carrot Seed Oil Nature's retinol alternative that promotes cell turnover and brings serious antioxidants without the irritation.
- Unrefined Shea Butter
- Raw, unprocessed, and packed with fatty acids that create a protective barrier while actually healing dry patches.
- Rosewood & Lavender
- Just enough essential oil to make it smell clean and calming, not like a salad or a spa explosion.
