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 the Face Food | Original Cucumber & Carrot
- 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
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."

Frequently Asked Questions
Why would I need a bamboo spatula for a face cream?Ā Honestly? You don't need it. But for an extra dollar, it keeps your cream cleaner (no finger bacteria), helps it last longer, and lets you grab exactly the right amount without digging around. Plus, some people just hate putting their fingers in jars. The bamboo is sustainable, smooth, and feels weirdly satisfying to use. It's a small luxury that costs less than a gas station coffee.
What's the difference between Face Food and Skin Food?Ā Face Food is specifically formulated for your faceālighter oils, cucumber for depuffing, more refined texture. It's gentle enough for eye area but rich enough for overnight repair. Skin Food is our body warriorāthicker, more protective, with calendula for healing. Face Food feeds your face; Skin Food saves your skin. Both are dense, both are legends, but Face Food is the facial specialist.
Can I really use this on my whole face or is it too heavy?Ā Despite being dense in the jar, it melts and absorbs without leaving you shiny. Use less in the morning (just a tiny dab), more at night when your skin does its repair work. It's concentratedāa little really does go far. The texture looks heavy but wears light. Patricia's been using it since 2012 and specifically mentions "not heavy" after trying La Mer. Trust the woman who's tried everything.
