The optimist's cream that treats winter skin and winter moods simultaneously

Same foundation as all our creams - shea butter makes up 50% of the oil blend. Same rich texture, same deep healing, same glass packaging. But this one's for optimists and those who want to be. Just two essential oils: rosewood and sweet orange. No synthetic fragrance. Rosewood isn't from roses - it's from a South American tree that smells woody-floral, warm but not heavy, sophisticated but approachable. Sweet orange is pure citrus sunshine. Together they create what Victoria describes as happiness - "this scent makes me happy."

This is morning cream. New beginnings cream. The cream Juleeanna discovered "worked better than any other lotion" on her dry winter skin. Because here's the thing about winter skin - it's not just physically dry, it's emotionally dry too. Short days, no sun, everything gray. Your skin needs moisture and your mood needs lifting. This does both. Teresa always has it on hand. Sharley calls it the "best body cream I have ever used" and actually stops by when driving to Portland. When cream creates detours, you know it's working.

"This is the optimist's cream. Same 50% shea butter oil blend as the others, but with rosewood and sweet orange essential oils only. Rosewood isn't actually from roses - it's this warm, woody-floral that's grounding but not heavy. Sweet orange is pure brightness. Together they create what Victoria calls happiness in a jar. It's the cream for morning routines, for winter blues, for when you need your skincare to remind you that things are actually okay. Juleeanna says it's the best for dry winter skin. I say it's the best for dry winter moods too."

Why You'll Love The Rosewood & Sweet Orange Cream

• Pure essential oils only - rosewood and sweet orange create natural mood elevation
• Same 50% shea butter oil blend - the moisture that made Juleeanna abandon all other lotions
• The scent that Victoria says "makes me happy" - not overwhelming, just wonderful
• Perfect for hard-working hands and harder winters - both physical and emotional
• The morning cream - sets an optimistic tone that lasts all day

This Is Why We Do It

"I love that this scent makes me happy. It's not super strong or overwhelming but wonderful and very natural. This lotion is very rich and moisturizing. perfect for my hard-working hands!"

The Ritual

Morning application sets the tone. The sweet orange hits first - immediate brightness, instant mood shift. Then rosewood follows with its woody-floral warmth that grounds the citrus. Victoria loves that it's "not super strong" - just present enough to notice throughout the day. Massage into skin and watch it disappear despite the richness. Perfect for what Victoria calls "hard-working hands" but also perfect for hearts that need reminding that winter ends, sun returns, things get better. Teresa keeps it as her "standby" - always there when needed.
