Long summer days are made for sunshine, pool dips, and outdoor adventures. But all that UV exposure can take a serious toll on your skin. Whether you’ve caught a little too much sun or are just feeling the dry, tight aftermath of heat and chlorine, it’s essential to give your skin the TLC it deserves. That’s where Essance Aloe Therapy Body Crème shines.
Originally developed at the request of a Portland radiologist seeking gentle skincare for radiation therapy patients, this crème was designed to soothe, repair, and deeply hydrate damaged or stressed skin. And while it was born out of medical necessity, it’s become a summertime essential for anyone looking to heal and replenish their skin naturally.
🌿 The Power of Aloe Vera
The hero ingredient? Aloe vera – often called “nature’s first aid plant.”
Aloe vera gel is rich in:
-
Polysaccharides, which help retain moisture and stimulate skin repair
-
Glycoproteins, which reduce inflammation and pain
-
Vitamins A, C, and E, antioxidants that help neutralize free radicals caused by UV exposure
-
Enzymes that promote exfoliation and healthy skin turnover
These compounds make aloe vera a go-to remedy for sunburn, minor cuts, and heat-related irritation. It penetrates the skin quickly, offering an immediate cooling effect and kickstarting the healing process from the inside out.
But not all aloe-based products are created equal. Many mass-market options contain alcohol, synthetic fragrances, or watered-down aloe that can do more harm than good. At Essance, we use pure aloe vera, combined with organic shea butter, to ensure maximum hydration without irritation.
💧 Hydration + Healing
Aloe vera does the soothing, but shea butter does the sealing. Packed with fatty acids and vitamins, shea butter locks in moisture, improves elasticity, and supports skin barrier repair. It also contains anti-inflammatory compounds that help calm redness and itchiness — perfect for skin that’s had too much fun in the sun.
Together, these ingredients work synergistically to:
-
Calm inflammation and stinging from sun exposure
-
Prevent peeling and flaking by deeply moisturizing
-
Restore damaged skin tissue
-
Support healing for eczema, psoriasis, and even radiation-treated skin
Because of its gentle formulation, Essance Aloe Therapy Body Crème is safe for use on both the face and body, making it your all-in-one summer skin solution.
🔥 Why After-Sun Care Matters
Many people skip after-sun care, thinking a cold shower or basic lotion is enough. But UV exposure creates oxidative stress in the skin, damaging cells and weakening your skin barrier. This can lead to premature aging, hyperpigmentation, or worsened sensitivity over time.
Proper after-sun care:
-
Rehydrates depleted skin
-
Reduces inflammation before it escalates
-
Promotes faster healing and tissue regeneration
-
Prevents long-term skin damage from free radicals
✨ When and How to Use
Use Aloe Therapy Body Crème after sun exposure, especially in the evening when your skin is starting to react to the day’s UV load. Apply generously to clean skin, and reapply as needed — especially on red, hot, or tight areas.
It’s also perfect post-shower, after a workout, or whenever your skin feels dry or stressed. Bonus tip: Store it in the fridge for an extra cooling sensation on hot summer days!
