  • With Nature in mind, we put a spin on the traditional, yet so effective cold cream.
  • The Koster Keunen formula for Nature’s Cold Cream and Make Up Remover still utilizes Beeswax as its primary water-in-oil (w/o) emulsifier, but is borax-free.
  • Use daily as a moisturizer, cleanser, or make-up remover.
