What if you could use the same skincare product on every single member of your family—male, female, children, and babies—leaving them all with smooth, moisturized skin? Local Utah company Melkit's Face Melk is a safe product that does just that and more.

Your skin is your body's largest organ, according to MedlinePlus. It is the first line of defense against germs, illness, and anything else the world throws your way. Easy to take it for granted, right? The outer layer—or epidermis—is exposed daily to stressors like harsh weather and pollution, which can weaken the skin barrier over time especially when combined with common skin conditions like acne or eczema.

Once you recognize that your skin is such a crucial part of your health and vitality you might be rushing to the skincare aisle. Unfortunately, many common skincare products contain ingredients that are known to be harmful!

Courtney Leiva writing for HuffPost says, "Some ingredients in your trusty ultra-hydrating moisturizer may secretly be contributing to the dry and flaking skin you try so very hard to get rid of. Ingredients such as fragrances, synthetic dyes and parabens can cause irritation and burning, which is a major no-no when you're already exposed to the harsh, cold air."

If you want to delve deeper into cosmetic science, the Environmental Working Group has compiled dozens of medical studies and sources in creating their list of "The Toxic Twelve." The list contains twelve harmful chemicals and contaminants found in cosmetics that the group is working to get banned from use in the United States.

Melkit: pure, clean results

Utah mother-daughter duo Glenna and Kamille created Face Melk after searching high and low for a moisturizing cream that met their stringent standards for clean ingredients. Glenna put her expansive knowledge of essential oils to the test, and the result was a success. She has been hand-mixing her secret recipe for friends and family for 11 years now. But secrets this good can't be contained forever, so they created Melkit to share their product to the world.

Face Melk is a thick, creamy moisturizer crafted with luxurious oils such as frankincense, sandalwood, lavender, and myrrh. Each oil has properties to help soothe the skin and drench it with hydration. The result? A fluffy, whipped-to-perfection cream that leaves you with a dewy, soft glow.

One reviewer says, "I have been using this product for close to 10 years now. Nothing has ever compared. My skin feels hydrated and refreshed all day. Your skin will start to crave [Melk's] simple and clean ingredients!"

Another writes, "I notice a massive difference in how my skin looks when I am using it as opposed to when I am not. I have spent thousands of dollars on face creams over the years, and I can truly testify that Face Melk is simply the best."

The Face Melk difference

Since the skin absorbs those products you slather on—for better or worse—the founders of Melkit believe those products should be pure and natural. That's why Face Melk is paraben-free, sulfate-free, cruelty-free, gluten-free, vegan, and contains zero synthetic dyes or fragrances.

The cream can be used on everyone from the youngest members of your family to the oldest. Face Melk can help with dry skin, sunburns, cold sores, mosquito bites, and even baby acne! Of course, that is alongside its regular use as a morning-or-night skin cream with anti-aging, balancing, and soothing properties. The natural properties of the essential oils will help you achieve beautiful, dewy skin—what they call the "Melky glow."
