Why Most Moisturisers Don’t Nourish Your Skin — and What to Use Instead
Most moisturisers miss the point. They hydrate. They soften. Some even soothe. But very few of them actually nourish your skin in the way your skin biologically needs to stay healthy, resilient, and strong. Here’s why that matters — and how to fix it.
Hydration ≠ Nutrition
Walk down any skincare aisle and you'll see product after product promising hydration. That’s fine. Your skin does need water.
But your skin doesn’t just run on water — it runs on nutrients. Without the right balance of vitamins, minerals, and fatty acids, your skin can’t maintain its barrier, repair damage, or regulate oil and inflammation.
In other words: a hydrated but undernourished face still ages prematurely, still reacts, still weakens over time.
What your skin actually needs every day:
Vitamins A, B3, B5, B6, C, E (For repair, glow, tone, and cellular metabolism)
Minerals like Calcium, Magnesium, Zinc, Copper, Selenium (For barrier function and enzymatic skin activity)
Omega fatty acids 3, 6, and 9 (For inflammation control, lipid barrier integrity, elasticity)
Most moisturisers contain maybe one of these — often at trace levels. They’re designed to feel good, not function deeply.
The “moisturiser” market hasn’t evolved — until now.
That’s why we made The Quintessential Moisturiser.
It’s the only cream specifically designed to deliver complete skin nourishment — not just hydration. Every essential vitamin, mineral, and omega is accounted for. No gaps. No gimmicks.
We mapped the full nutrient profile of healthy, functional skin — then used both stabilised clinical actives and high-density botanical extracts to match it. The result: a moisturiser that doesn’t just sit on your skin. It fuels it.
What makes it different?
Ethyl Ascorbic Acid + Sodium Ascorbyl Phosphate – Two stable forms of vitamin C for real antioxidant protection and glow
Niacinamide, B5, B6, E – Skin-normalising vitamins that improve texture, tone, and inflammation
Plant oils rich in omega 3, 6 and 9 – From sunflower, jojoba, and oat kernel oil
Red algae, samphire, alfalfa & chicory extracts – Mineral-rich botanicals that support barrier repair
Zero filler ingredients – No fragrance, silicones, or synthetic thickening agents
Who’s it for?
Everyone. Every skin type. Every concern.
Whether you’re dealing with dryness, dullness, irritation, or just want to simplify your routine — this is your daily essential. One jar. Twice a day. Total support.
Moisture is just the beginning. Nourishment is the future.
If you’re layering four different serums to get what your skin actually needs, you’re working harder than you should. The Quintessential Moisturiser does it all in one step — and does it better.
Stop moisturising. Start nourishing.
