Red Tea & Black Currant Face Lotion
Light • Antioxidant-Rich • Moisturizing
Smooth, Dewy Skin, Naturally
My Red Tea & Black Currant Face Lotion is a light, delicate lotion designed to hydrate, soothe, and protect your skin. Packed with antioxidants and essential fatty acids, it helps your face look smooth, feel dewy, and maintain a radiant, youthful glow.
I begin months in advance by infusing Fractionated Coconut Oil with four dried organic herbs: Chamomile, Calendula, Comfrey, and Gotu Kola. This slow infusion ensures that every drop of lotion delivers herbal benefits directly to your skin.
How It Works
This lotion combines potent antioxidant support with deeply nourishing oils. African Red Tea, also known as Rooibos, contains natural polyphenols that help decrease inflammation and protect cells from oxidative stress. Aloe Juice soothes and heals, supporting circulation and overall skin recovery. Humectants like vegetable glycerin attract and bind water, keeping skin hydrated without feeling greasy.
Luxury oils such as Black Currant, Jojoba, Rosehip, and Argan Oil provide essential fatty acids, antioxidants, and protective compounds that help maintain elasticity, soothe irritation, and support overall skin health. For this face lotion, I selected my oils with great care, using many of the same nutrient-rich oils found in my Flower Petal Face Serum.
Ingredients & Benefits
African Red Tea (Rooibos)
Rich in natural polyphenols, protects against oxidation, and reduces inflammation.
Aloe Juice
Soothes, heals, and improves circulation, supporting skin repair.
Chamomile
Calms inflamed or red skin, reduces puffiness, and eases rosacea.
Black Currant Oil
I centered Black Currant Oil as my featured ingredient because it contains essential fatty acids, which are necessary for healthy hair and skin. It’s important to get enough through your diet, but applying oil rich in essential fatty acids topically can also be very beneficial for your skin, according to studies (NCBI Study). Also The Linus Pauling Institute writes that essential fatty acids are: “…an effective means of delivering EFAs to the skin and, eventually, to the rest of body. Because a significant portion of ingested EFAs may be oxidized by the liver (up to 60% of ALA and 20% of LA) before reaching peripheral tissues, topical application may be a more efficient route of delivery for skin effects.”
Jojoba Oil
Closely resembles human sebum, non-comedogenic, rich in antioxidants, and helps balance oil production.
Argan Oil
Nourishing and antioxidant-rich, historically used for wrinkles, dry skin, and hair.
Fractionated Coconut Oil (Infused with Chamomile, Calendula, Comfrey, Gotu Kola)
Supports hydration, healing, and antioxidant delivery.

How to Use
Apply a small amount to clean skin. Massage gently until absorbed. Suitable for daily use or whenever your skin needs a boost of hydration and antioxidant protection.
Why I Love It
I designed this lotion to be light yet deeply nourishing. It absorbs beautifully, leaving skin soft, smooth, and radiant without feeling greasy. The combination of antioxidant-rich red tea, nutrient-dense black currant oil, and carefully selected herbs provides ongoing support for dry, mature, or sensitive skin.

I am hooked on this light and creamy exotic smelling face lotion. After a few weeks of using this face cream, I’ve noticed softer skin and a more even tone after two weeks of using this product and have received many unexpected compliments on my fresh glow. Love this!

I got a jar for a Christmas present and it’s the first time I’ve ever loved a product SOOO much that I read the label and found your website. Spending 3 months in Mexico’s sunshine, this cream saved me!! I used it every night and a lot of mornings and it is the very best I’ve found. AND it lasted the whole trip. Cannot thank you enough. I’m your newest number one fan.

This lotion is so dreamy, my skin just drinks it in. My daugther lives in Silver City and was visiting us in Colorado last week. I was admiring her smooth skin and she let me try her Red Tea and Black Currant lotion. She told me about your shop and I ordered it right away. Thank you.

Favorite face lotion in the world! Has a throwback smell to it that is unique but very much enjoyable. Goes on face smoothly and in my opinion not oily or clogging to skin.

Second time ordering this lotion. The first jar lasted me for MONTHS! I was so impressed with that.
The texture was a very new experience, but once I got used to it, it’s become a nice sensory experience for me. It isn’t greasy at all which is a big bonus. I’ve been using it along with a couple other things from this shop, and my skin’s looking healthier than it’s been in ages <3

There are not enough words to explain this face cream. I have very red cheeks from broken blood vessels in my face that can’t be repaired with traditional medicine. This face cream reduces the redness on my face by 60% easily. If I have a lapse it’s noticeably uncomfortable.
Let me be very clear, I am extremely picky, I’m allergic to everything that grows outdoors. I’m on multiple allergy medications and this stuff soothes my sensitive skin. It is lightly scented but it wears off quickly and doesn’t bother me at all.
If you ever decide to stop making this, please consider taking me on as a private customer or let me purchase a case or so. It’s irreplaceable in my beauty routine.

Marla (verified owner) –
We were visiting Silver and really became aware of the dryness. Decided our drug store lotions couldn’t handle it and stopped in Ziryab’s to see what they had. The clerk recommended the Red Tea and Black Current face cream so we tried it. Loved how it smelled, felt and worked – even on my partner’s bald head!
Soleil G. (verified owner) –
Just a dab – it goes a long, powerful way! But oh my goodness, this stuff is magical. It smells divine, it leaves my face and neck feeling rejuvenated and youthfully plump (lol) just overall fresh and light. It truly absorbs into the skin, and my makeup/primer apply without any problems or reactions. Within just a few weeks, my skin looks brighter, happier, and healthier

I first bought this one on Etsy shop and my skin loved it so I had to repurchase through the website m, it’s my go to face moisturizer
The consistency is very moisturizing and it’s not heavy at all can be used I set make up I use it on my face neck and back of my palms, great stuff
Sarah E. (verified owner) –
This is by far the best face cream you can buy, I promise. I’m prone to redness, allergic to everything outside and sensitive to scents. This lotion has a scent, but it’s not too much and it fades quickly. My skin LOVES it!!! I have visibly less redness within a week, even my dark circles I’ve had since birth cave to wellness. I’ve tried every product from $10 to $100 and this is the only one that works without any side effects from my picky skin and allergies.

I use sunscreen every day, but sometimes I don’t reapply often enough; this helps diminish freckles and sun damage, and it also helps minimize redness

This facial lotion is wonderful! It hydrates without clogging my pores, enlarging pores or breaking me out. Great ingredients and price point. As a rose lover the scent is fantastic. I’ve been using for nearly two weeks, skin texture and tone has improved. One of my favorite things about this is its buildable, can use both summer and winter.

A little different from most face lotions but very moisturizing. Seems to work better than almost everything else I’ve ever used. I also like how it smells.
Sandy Smith (verified owner) –
This too, was one of the first products I purchased from Brenda. This is a part of my after shower (or face washing) regimen. I use the Babchi Blueberry Serum first and follow up with this Face Lotion. Both of these products compliment each other and my face NEVER feels “oily”. My face is well hydrated and I think it looks pretty good for 60!

Red Tea and Black Currant Face Lotion has a rich yellow tint that is not seen. This lush and fluffy lotion is not at all oily. Oh my gosh! Often times homemade concoctions made from very real and natural compounds sit on top of face skin but not this. My skin feels soothed, nourished and supple. Supple is the password here especially for us women in our 60’s. Red Tea and Black Currant Face lotion does not disappoint and I’ll be using it for a lifetime!
