Three creams and balms, led by shea butter and ceramides, not water and a fragrance blend.

This group covers the two creams and one balm in the catalogue: a night cream for dry skin, a lighter daily barrier cream, and a shea butter hand cream thick enough for elbows. Each listing below carries the ingredient order it's mixed in, the jar or tube size, and a plain note on how it behaves once it's actually on skin.

Ingredients are listed in the order they're mixed, heaviest contributor first, the way the label on the jar reads. If a word on a label sounds vague to you, ask — "fragrance" only appears here when there is genuinely nothing more specific to name, and none of these three carry it.

We don't publish exact percentages — most small operations don't have the lab work to back that number up honestly — but the order tells you what's actually doing the work, and that's the part we'll stand behind on a call.

Evening light, lamp on, jar closed and ready for the last step before bed.

Quiet Hours Night Cream

A genuine night cream for dry skin, built to sit on the face for hours without needing to be reapplied. Shea butter is the second ingredient by weight, not the tenth, and ceramides sit close behind it — the combination that does the actual work of holding moisture in overnight rather than sitting on top as a temporary film.

What's in the night cream

Water, shea butter, ceramides, glycerin, squalane, cetearyl alcohol, tocopherol, xanthan gum, phenoxyethanol.

Format
Glass jar, metal lid
Size
50ml
Best for
Dry, dehydrated skin that tightens by evening
When to use
Last step at night, after any facial oil
Fragrance
None added

Using the night cream

A pea-sized amount is enough for the whole face and neck; more than that tends to sit as a film by morning rather than absorb. Warm it between fingertips for a few seconds before pressing it in — cold cream from a bedside jar spreads unevenly and pulls at the skin instead of gliding.

Rich enough that oily or acne-prone skin usually does better with the Daily Barrier Cream instead — ask us and we'll say so plainly rather than sell the richer jar.

Keep the lid on tight between uses. Left open on a humid bathroom shelf, the surface can dry and crust within a couple of weeks, well before the jar itself is close to empty.

Item 02 of 03

The Daily Barrier Cream tube beside a cream swatch on skin
A dab swatched on the back of the hand, morning light, to show the finish before it's fully worked in.

Daily Barrier Cream

The daytime counterpart to the night cream, built lighter on purpose so it sits under makeup or sunscreen without pilling or leaving a sheen by noon. It still leads with a barrier-supporting base, just at a lower concentration than the night formula, which is why the two aren't interchangeable despite looking similar in the jar.

What's in the daily barrier cream

Water, glycerin, shea butter, dimethicone, niacinamide, cetearyl alcohol, tocopherol, xanthan gum, phenoxyethanol.

Format
Squeeze tube
Size
40ml
Best for
Daytime wear, under makeup or sunscreen
When to use
Morning, after cleansing, before sunscreen
Fragrance
None added

Using the daily barrier cream

A dot the size of a pea covers the face; spread outward from the centre rather than rubbing in circles, which tends to pill the cream against foundation applied afterward. Give it two or three minutes to set before layering sunscreen on top.

This is the cream to ask about if the night cream sounds too rich for your skin — it's the same brand of barrier support at a lower weight, not a separate philosophy.

The tube keeps for a long stretch once opened, but a cap left loose on a warm windowsill will thin the texture faster than the ingredient list alone would suggest. Store it capped, out of direct sun.

Item 03 of 03

An open tin of hand and elbow balm with a fingertip mark
A fingertip pressed into the balm to show how firm it sits at room temperature before it's warmed against skin.

Hand & Elbow Balm

A genuine shea butter hand cream in balm form — firmer than either of the two creams above, meant for spot use on knuckles, elbows and heels rather than an all-over daily lotion. It's the one product in this group built to survive a hand-washing routine rather than sit under it.

What's in the hand & elbow balm

Shea butter, beeswax, sunflower oil, castor oil, tocopherol.

Format
Metal tin
Size
30g
Best for
Rough patches — knuckles, elbows, heels
When to use
After hand-washing, or before socks at night
Fragrance
None added

Using the hand & elbow balm

Scrape a small amount with a fingernail and warm it between fingertips for a few seconds before working it into the rough patch — it's firm enough at room temperature that pressing it straight on can feel waxy rather than glide. A little goes further here than in either cream above.

Too heavy for the face. It's built for the toughest skin on the body, not as a substitute for the night cream.

Stored at room temperature it stays firm for a long stretch. Leave the tin somewhere warm — a car dashboard, a sunny sill — and it softens enough to need a spoon rather than a fingernail.
