Calm the Fire, Restore the Flow
For those navigating the challenges of rosacea, finding a moisturizer that doesn't trigger a flare-up can feel like a gamble. Cooling and Moving Face Cream is a targeted botanical intervention designed to bring peace to reactive, flushed skin. This isn't just a cover-up; it is a sophisticated therapeutic formula grounded in the Traditional Chinese Medicine principles of clearing heat and invigorating blood. By addressing the stagnation and internal heat that often drive redness, this cream helps to restore a cool, even-toned complexion.
 
We formulated this cream specifically for the delicate, easily irritated skin associated with rosacea. It acts as a gentle extinguisher for facial flushing while providing the profound hydration compromised skin barriers desperately need. The "moving" aspect refers to gentle circulatory support—helping to clear the congestion that leads to visible veins and persistent redness—without the irritation often caused by stimulating ingredients.
 
Targeted Botanicals for Redness Relief
This formula is a powerhouse of anti-inflammatory Western herbs and blood-cooling Eastern roots, creating a synergy that addresses rosacea from multiple angles.
 
Why it works:
Clears Heat and Reduces Redness: We use a potent TCM complex of Rheum Palmatum (Rhubarb Root) and Camellia Sinensis (Green Tea) to draw heat away from the skin's surface. Zinc Oxide adds a physical layer of calming protection, instantly soothing angry inflammation.
Moves Stagnation: To address the "stuck" blood that causes spider veins and purple tones, we incorporate Ginkgo Biloba, Horse Chestnut, and Safflower Flower. These botanicals gently support healthy microcirculation, helping to disperse stagnation and improve skin tone.
Repairs the Barrier: Rosacea-prone skin often has a compromised barrier. A rich, nourishing blend of Meadowfoam Seed Oil, Rosehip Seed Oil, Shea Butter, and Cocoa Butter delivers essential fatty acids to seal in moisture and strengthen the skin's defenses against environmental triggers.
Soothes and Regenerates: Bisabolol, Panthenol, and Comfrey work together to calm itchiness and speed up cellular repair, while Bakuchi Oil offers a gentle, non-irritating alternative to retinol for skin renewal.
Resin Therapy: Extracts of Frankincense (Boswellia) and Myrrh are included for their profound ability to reduce swelling and promote healing in troubled tissue.
 
A Holistic Approach to Complexion Balance
At Silva Medica Botanicals (formerly Thirteen Moons Apothecary), we understand that rosacea is often an outward reflection of internal heat. Cooling and Moving Face Cream provides the external support necessary to break the cycle of inflammation. It serves as a daily shield, protecting your skin from the elements while actively 
working to cool and clarify your complexion.
 
How to Use
Apply daily to clean skin, focusing on areas of redness and flushing.
Cleanse: Start with a gentle wash using our Honeysuckle Cleanser.
Apply: Dispense a small amount of cream and gently warm it between your fingertips.
Press: Softly press and pat the cream into the face, paying special attention to cheeks, nose, and chin. Avoid vigorous rubbing, which can stimulate more heat.
Cool: Feel the immediate soothing sensation as the botanicals begin to work. Use morning and night for best results.
