The Sostar Moisturizing Face Cream with Mastic & Olive Oil 50ml is a day cream for daily hydration of the face. It combines Chios mastic oil, Chios mastic water and organic olive oil, in a formula without fragrance, without PEG and without parabens.
It is a light, basic cream for those who do not look for complex routines but a reliable moisturizer for every morning. The manufacturer considers it suitable for oily skin types, while the absence of fragrance makes it attractive for those who prefer neutral cosmetics.
In ancient Greece athletes anointed their bodies with oil before the competitions and women used it as a base for aromatic oils. Olive oil was, literally, the first cosmetic of the Mediterranean. Today we know that it contains mainly oleic acid, a fatty acid that softens the skin, but also squalene, vitamin E and polyphenols with antioxidant action.
Many with oily skin avoid anything containing oils, fearing the shine. However, oiliness and hydration are different things. Sebum is a fatty substance, while hydration concerns the water in the superficial layers. An oily skin can be at the same time dehydrated, and a balanced hydrating cream helps it not to feel tight.
Olive and mastic are two of the most characteristic plants of the Greek landscape and they often grow side by side on the slopes of the Aegean. In this formula olive oil provides its softening base, while mastic, through its essential oil and Chios mastic water, adds its coolness. The result is a cream with a pure Mediterranean character, without complex ingredient lists.
For oily and combination skin types that need hydration without heaviness. For men who want a simple face cream for every day. For those who are bothered by fragrances in cosmetics. And for younger skin types that do not yet need special anti-wrinkle care.
Apply the cream in the morning on a clean, dry face and neck, spreading it evenly until it is absorbed. It can also be used in the evening if your skin needs extra hydration. Follow the instructions on the packaging.

Yes. It can be applied after shaving, once the skin has calmed down.
