PALACIO Face Cream with Almond Oil 50ml

Palacio face cream with almond oil, 50 ml

Face cream with sweet almond oil in a 50 ml tube, designed for dry and sensitive skin. The formula is built classically: a water-paraffin base with petroleum jelly, topped with almond oil, hydrogenated coconut oil, glycerin, and tocopheryl acetate, which is vitamin E. This is an occlusive formula that remains on the skin as a layer limiting water loss - hence the reason to reach for it in winter and for skin that feels tight after washing.

The consistency is thicker than in gel creams, and the scent is delicate. One thing in this list deserves attention before purchase: alongside the general entry Parfum, seven fragrance composition ingredients are listed by name, which are separately indicated in cosmetics because they can cause allergic reactions.

Ingredients

INCI list in descending order of content:

• Aqua, Paraffinum Liquidum, Prunus Amygdalus Dulcis Oil (sweet almond oil), Petrolatum
• Hydrogenated Coconut Oil (hydrogenated coconut oil), Cetearyl Alcohol, Glyceryl Stearate, Ceteareth-20
• Glycerin, Tocopheryl Acetate (vitamin E)
• Preservatives: Dehydroacetic Acid, Benzoic Acid, Phenoxyethanol, Ethylhexylglycerin
• Fragrance composition: Parfum and Amyl Cinnamal, Benzyl Salicylate, Coumarin, Geraniol, Hydroxycitronellal, Isoeugenol, Limonene, Linalool

The order here is part of the information: INCI organizes ingredients in descending order of content, so the very beginning of the list indicates what this formula is based on: water, paraffin, and almond oil. It is worth looking at this list carefully for one reason: the last seven entries are fragrance composition ingredients, which are listed by name in cosmetics because they can cause allergic reactions.

This is how the fragrance is detailed by name, and with reactive skin, this is the first thing to check. The preservatives are also listed by name: dehydroacetic acid, benzoic acid, phenoxyethanol, and ethylhexylglycerin, so it is clear exactly how this cream is preserved. Almond oil and vitamin E are responsible for moisturizing and antioxidant action in this formula, while glycerin binds water in the stratum corneum.

Specification

How to use

The method of use is short: apply the cream to cleansed and toned skin of the face, neck, and décolletage, then gently massage it until fully absorbed.

• Apply to cleansed skin of the face, neck, and décolletage
• Gently massage until fully absorbed
• Use daily
• Avoid contact with eyes
• For reactive skin, first do a patch test on a small area

For whom

This cream is for dry and sensitive skin that primarily needs moisturizing and protection. The base with paraffin and petroleum jelly creates a layer on the skin that limits water evaporation, so the formula works well in winter, after washing with hard water, and for people whose skin feels tight after every contact with soap. If, however, you have oily skin or are prone to blackheads, this consistency will be too heavy for you.

In that case, a lighter formula from the same line would be a better choice. Another thing to check before purchase is the scent: the seven fragrance composition ingredients listed by name mean that with reactive skin, it is advisable to start with a patch test on the forearm.

The cream has a delicate almond scent and is a scented cosmetic - this is worth knowing before purchase, as facial care is one of those areas where the scent is felt all day, not just for a moment after application.

Frequently asked questions

How much cream is in the package and how long can it be used?

The package contains 50 ml of cream, which is the standard capacity for face creams. The symbol for the period of usability after opening is printed on the package you will receive - it indicates how long to use the cream after the first opening, and it counts from that moment, not from the date of purchase.

For what skin type is this cream?

The product card indicates dry and sensitive skin. The formula is occlusive - paraffin, petroleum jelly, and hydrogenated coconut oil remain on the skin as a layer limiting water loss. For oily or blackhead-prone skin, this consistency is often too heavy, so it is worth looking for a lighter formula.

Does the cream contain fragrance substances?

Yes. The list includes Parfum and seven fragrance ingredients listed by name: Amyl Cinnamal, Benzyl Salicylate, Coumarin, Geraniol, Hydroxycitronellal, Isoeugenol, Limonene, and Linalool. They are listed separately because they can cause allergic reactions. For reactive skin, start with a patch test on a small area.

What does the order of ingredients in the INCI list mean?

The list organizes ingredients in descending order of content. This is information about the order, not percentages: it indicates that there is more sweet almond oil in the tube than glycerin, but it does not say how much. The fragrance composition ingredients are at the very end of the list, and yet they are listed by name - precisely because it concerns allergies, not quantity.
