This cream is formulated and intended for use on the body, not the face. The key reasons are its texture and composition. The rich, emollient base containing shea butter and oils is designed to address rough, tight, or easily irritated skin on areas like elbows, hands, and legs – skin that is generally less delicate than facial skin.
Applying a body cream to the facial area, especially near the eyes, is not advised as it may be too heavy and could potentially lead to clogged pores or irritation on more sensitive facial skin. The product instructions specify use on intact skin only and to avoid the eye area. For facial moisturizing, it is better to choose a product specifically designed for that purpose. Always follow the intended use instructions for any cosmetic product.
