how to use 86% Organic Essential Daily Moisturizer
Discover the Power of 86% Organic Essential Daily Moisturizer
Learning how to use 86% Organic Essential Daily Moisturizer correctly takes under two minutes: apply a pea-sized amount to clean, slightly damp skin after your serum, using upward circular motions across your face, neck, and chest, both morning and evening.
Product update: The 86% Organic Essential Daily Moisturizer has been discontinued. Our closest current option is the Ultimate Moisturizer for Day and Night Use. Both list organic aloe leaf juice as the first ingredient and include pomegranate, but they are different formulas: the Ultimate Moisturizer adds ten peptides plus vitamins A, C and E and is made for normal, dry or mature skin. Unlike the original, it contains lavender and vanilla essential oils and emulsifying wax and does not state an organic percentage. If your skin is sensitive, our current recommendation is the Regenerating Facial Cream Lotion Bulk Base, a paraben-free cream base whose ingredient list has no essential oils or added fragrance.
The rest of this post describes the discontinued formula, whose published ingredient list was: Organic Aloe Juice, Organic Coconut Oil, Organic Green Tea Extract, Cetearyl Olivate, Sorbitan Olivate, Cetyl Palmitate, Sorbitan Palmitate, Organic Pomegranate Tincture, Organic Olive Oil, Palm Stearic Acid, Polysaccharide Gum. Ingredient details and percentages below refer to that formula, not to the Ultimate Moisturizer. The Ultimate Moisturizer's own directions: use it day and night after cleansing, toning, serums and hydrators, applying a small amount and massaging it into the face and neck until absorbed.
What Made This Moisturizer 86% Organic
Most moisturizers list water as the first ingredient. This one lists certified organic aloe juice, delivering active botanicals directly to your skin rather than diluting them with a filler. Its ingredient list contains no parabens and no synthetic fragrance.
Key Ingredients and Their Supported Benefits
- Organic Aloe Juice Base: Delivers deep hydration without clogging pores.
- Organic Coconut Oil and Olive Oil: Nourish and moisturize skin with a non-greasy feel.
- Superfruit Antioxidants (Green Tea Extract and Pomegranate): Help neutralize free radicals that can accelerate visible aging.
- Ethically Sourced Botanicals: Help calm the look of irritation and support the skin barrier.
Why Skin Perfection Stands Out as a 2025 Think Dirty Awards Finalist
Recognition as a 2025 Think Dirty Awards Finalist confirms what our community already knows: clean formulations can deliver real results. In December 2025, Skin Perfection won two Think Dirty Choice Awards: Best Serum for the GHK Copper Peptide Serum and Best Lotion for the Whipped Tallow Balm. This is the Skin Perfection difference--nature-powered, science-backed beauty that earns trust through transparency, not hype.
Step-by-Step Guide: How to Apply 86% Organic Essential Daily Moisturizer
Optimal Amount and Massage Techniques for Best Absorption
- Dispense a pea-sized amount onto your fingertips. More product doesn't mean more results--it often means slower absorption.
- Warm the product between your palms for three seconds.
- Press gently onto your cheeks, forehead, and chin before massaging with upward circular motions.
- Use your ring finger around the delicate eye area, applying the lightest possible pressure.
When to Apply: Perfect Timing After Serums in Your Routine
Apply your moisturizer after serums and boosters. Serums drive active ingredients into the skin; moisturizer seals in that work. Applying to skin that's still slightly damp after your serum gives the formula something to bind to, supporting deeper absorption and longer-lasting hydration.
Extend to Neck and Chest for Full Age-Defense Coverage
Your neck and chest can show signs of aging as quickly as your face--yet most people stop at the jawline. Sweep any remaining product along your neck with gentle upward strokes, then across your décolletage.

Pairing with Serums, Boosters, and LED Therapy Tools
The moisturizer performs best when it's not working alone. Use red-light LED therapy before your evening application, then apply the moisturizer immediately after to help seal in the session's benefits. For targeted wrinkle support, pair it with a Matrixyl-based serum--clinically studied peptides working beneath a clean, protective moisture layer is a combination that can support a smoother look to fine lines over time.

What Customers Say About Our Current Option
We do not have enough published reviews of the discontinued 86% formula to summarize customer results. For our current option, the Ultimate Moisturizer, verified buyer Katherine M. wrote: “This is the only facial moisturizer I use - once in the morning, once at night. It leaves my skin smooth with no flakiness, no oily residue.”
Success for Sensitive Skin and Long-Term Hydration
If you have a skin condition, see a dermatologist. The absence of parabens, synthetic fragrance, essential oils, and emulsifying wax makes a meaningful difference for skin that's been burned by conventional products before.
Kari Thomas Shares Her Expert Tips for Faster Results
My top recommendation: apply at night to skin prepped with a peptide serum booster, and don't skip your neck and décolletage. That two-step habit--peptides first, moisturizer to lock it in--is one of the simplest habits I know for skin that looks smoother and feels more comfortable. Give it thirty days and see how your skin looks and feels.
Organic vs. Mainstream Moisturizers: Why the Formula Matters
What You're Avoiding--and What You're Gaining Instead
86% Organic Formula
- Full published ingredient list
- Organic aloe juice base instead of plain water
- Antioxidants from green tea extract and pomegranate
- Cruelty-free and sustainable
Conventional Moisturizers
- Water as the primary ingredient
- Parabens and synthetic preservatives
- Undisclosed fragrance compounds
- No third-party clean certification
Storage Tips to Maintain Potency
Store your moisturizer away from direct sunlight and heat. Organic botanicals stay most potent in cool, stable conditions--a bathroom shelf away from the shower works well. Protect the formula between uses, and it'll keep performing at full strength through every last drop.

The Long Game: Science, Sustainability, and Skin That Improves Over Time
Synthetic moisturizers can deliver short-term surface smoothing. This formula works differently. The organic green tea and pomegranate antioxidants help neutralize cumulative free radical damage--the kind that builds quietly over years of sun exposure and environmental stress. Pair that with a skin barrier supported by an organic aloe juice base, and you have a formula designed for month-over-month improvement, not a one-week glow that fades. Sustainable sourcing of every botanical also means your commitment to clean beauty extends beyond your skin to the planet.

Your Skin's Most Radiant Chapter Starts Here
Mastering how to use 86% Organic Essential Daily Moisturizer is straightforward, but consistency is what separates surface-level care from lasting change. Apply twice daily, protect the formula from heat and light, and pair it with clinically supported serums for results you can see over time. That's the full picture--and it really is that simple.

It's a key step in your morning and evening routine, supporting your skin barrier and delivering active botanicals throughout the day or night.
Is it necessary to wash my face again after applying moisturizer?
Once you've applied your 86% Organic Essential Daily Moisturizer, your skincare routine for that step is complete. This moisturizer is the third step, following your cleanser and serum, and it's meant to stay on your skin to nourish and protect it. There's no need to wash your face again until your next cleansing ritual.
What is the correct method for applying daily moisturizer?
The correct method for applying our 86% Organic Essential Daily Moisturizer begins with a pea-sized amount on clean, slightly damp skin, after your serum. Warm it between your palms, then gently press onto your cheeks, forehead, chin, neck, and chest. Use upward circular motions, remembering to use your ring finger with light pressure around the delicate eye area for best results.
How long should I allow my moisturizer to absorb into my skin?
Our 86% Organic Essential Daily Moisturizer is formulated for efficient absorption, so there's no need to let it 'sit' for an extended period. By using a pea-sized amount and massaging it in with upward circular motions, it will absorb beautifully into your skin. Applying too much product can actually slow down this process, so a little goes a long way for a radiant glow.
