The fact is that the sun's rays are important for many bodily functions. Sunlight stimulates proper breathing, circulation, metabolism and the formation of vitamin A & D. We all know how good the sun makes us feel, but the key is moderation. Unfortunately, sometimes we all can overdo it.
Soothing, nourishing, vitamin & mineral packed vegetable base oils combined with French Lavender, Rose Geranium and Roman Chamomile essential oils were specifically chosen for their amazing sunburn healing properties. But don't worry; you can use it even if you haven't been exposed to wind, sea, sand or sun. Dream Cream is an essential moisturizer for active people who never stop Dreaming!
Use daily after bathing (winter or summer) to protect, nourish and replenish skin that has been exposed to extreme wind, sea & sun. For extra cool summer relief, keep Dream Cream in the fridge; sun-scorched skin will drink it up like a camel in the Sahara. You'll love it all year long.

GENERAL PRODUCT INTRODUCTION:The fact is that the sun's rays are important for many bodily functions. Sunlight stimulates proper breathing, circulation, metabolism, the endocrine gland system and the formation of vitamin A & D. These vitamins make it possible for the body to use the calcium from food for strengthening bones, maintaining teeth, tendons & ligaments. The skin disorders of psoriasis, eczema, and acne heal wonderfully in sunlight, and all those aches and pains just seem to vanish. In fact, our desire for sunlight after long periods of dark, dismal weather is related to a reaction of the sexual hormones, which increase our desire for skin contact, tenderness & sexuality; the lack of it can also cause severe depression in some people. So, we all know how the sun makes us feel so much better all around, but the key is moderation (we have all heard it before.)
Unfortunately, sometimes we can overdo it, the proof comes in the form of tightness and soreness of the skin, and/ or reddened skin which may blister and peel. Sunburn is a burn, perhaps not as harmful as a burn from fire, but it is still a burn and should be treated so.
With all burns it is crucial to get the heat out of the skin. Fill a bath tub with cold water and ice (if available) and immerse yourself as soon as you can for at least 10 minutes. Then apply Sensatia's Sunburn Relief Hydrating Mist to all burnt areas. Continue to use the Sensatia's hydrating mist as frequently as needed. Then when your body is still moist, rub Sensatiaís After-Sun Dream Cream all over paying special attention to the burnt areas. If you do this, by morning you won't notice a thing, but be sensible and try to stay out of the sun for at least few days if possible.
SPECIFIC TO THIS PRODUCT:Extra virgin olive oil is especially useful for dehydrated, sore or inflamed skin, and aids in the prevention of stretch marks. Research has shown that the polyphenols in extra virgin olive oil provide superior protection to the skin against the harmful effects of the sun. In fact as a natural sun filter, on average olive oil can screen up to 20% of the sun's rays. Extra virgin olive oil is also rich in antioxidants and helps the body absorb vitamin A, D, E, and K, (vitamins necessary for overall good skin health.)
Beeswax, derived from the honeycomb, is one of the oldest raw ingredients used in cosmetic preparations. It serves as an emulsifier and binder in water-in-oil emulsions. When applied to the skin it forms a network and links other raw materials to itself.
Sweet almond oil is expressed from the seeds of the almond tree. Sweet almond oil is light, nourishing and protecting to the skin. Because it is so easily absorbed, it makes a great carrier oil for essential oils to make their way into the bloodstream.
Jojoba is a cold-pressed oil from the scrubby desert evergreen native to the arid Sonora Desert. The oil is quite miraculous in that it very closely resembles our skins own oil secretion, sebum. Studies have shown that 5 of the most common acne causing bacteria's are incapable of surviving in jojoba oil leading to clearer, healthier looking skin and hair.
Wheatgerm oil is very high in vitamin E and essential fatty acids. Vitamin E is well known for its potent antioxidant effects in tissue and skin. When applied topically wheatgerm oil can promote the formation of new cells, improve circulation, and can help repair sun-damaged skin.
Vegetable Glycerin is derived from vegetable fats. Glycerin is a humectant and promotes moisture retention, thus helping you look younger by "plumping" up fine lines and wrinkles.
French lavender oil relieves nervousness, anxiety, insomnia, it is suitable for all complexion types and aids in the healing of skin cells. It is used on burns, sun-damaged skin, wounds, and rashes. Lavender tones the skin and is useful for all types of skin problems: acne, oily skin, boils, burns, sunburn, wounds, psoriasis, lice, insect bites, stings and as an insect repellent. Lavender promotes skin healing and eases inflammation. Lavender is one of the few essentials oils that can be used neat on the skin, and is especially useful when treating a minor burn wound.
Rose Geranium is antiseptic, deodorizing, toning, cleansing and stimulates the lymphatic system. Also geranium is very effective on sluggish, oily or dry skin as it has an excellent balancing effect.
Shea butter is an amazingly emollient, 100% natural, vitamin A-rich, healing butter. It is native to the African Savannah. Shea butter protects from harsh UV rays, heals small wounds, skin cracks & crevices, restructures and repairs a disturbed epidermis, aids in healing stretch marks and scars, helps with aching muscles, and decongests mucous membranes. Additionally our premium grade A shea butter has healing properties to treat skin allergies, insect bites, sunburns, frostbite and a number of other skin conditions. Shea Butter has a natural SPF (Sun Protection Factor) of about 6.
We also add locally harvested Annatto seed. Annatto, a common shrub in Southeast Asia, is usually filled with decorative furry red seed pods. These pods, when ripe, split open to reveal their bright red seeds. It is these seeds which are a great source of beta-carotene.
Roman Chamomile has been used for its healing properties for thousands of years. The oil is distilled from the blossoms of the plant. Roman chamomile is especially useful for sensitive, dry, reddened or itchy skin, infected wounds, acne, rashes and is a good treatment for nervous conditions and insomnia. It accelerates the healing of wounds and helps skin allergies when added to a cream or oil. It is antiseptic, antibacterial, analgesic and is most hailed for its anti-inflammatory properties. It has a moderately sweet-sour and spicy-green aroma with an apple-like tinge. Roman chamomile's odour effect is warming, soothing and especially indispensable in the calming of young children.
Sea Buckthorn oil is extracted from the berries of the Hippophae rhamnoides plant. Sea buckthorn's healing properties include a high amount of linoleic acids and vitamins A and E, which are restorative and soothing to the skin. Sea Buckthorn is also very rich in beta-carotene (thus its deep orange color) and is an effective anti-wrinkle and skin-softening ingredient.
