Natural and organic face cream
A good face cream moisturises, nourishes and protects the skin. At GreenBeautyShop, you’ll find natural and organic face creams for every skin type. From light day creams and nourishing night creams to 24-hour creams, anti-wrinkle creams and specialised care creams for skin that needs extra attention.
Whether you have dry, sensitive, young or mature skin, or are looking for care for rosacea, redness, blemishes or acne, you’ll find a face cream to suit your needs in our collection.
Our natural face creams contain powerful active ingredients such as organic plant oils, shea butter, aloe vera, hyaluronic acid, antioxidants, essential oils, algae, and plant and flower extracts. These high-quality ingredients help to nourish, moisturise and improve the skin.
And, of course, our face creams contain no drying alcohols, silicones, mineral oils, microplastics or other undesirable ingredients.
What types of face cream are there?
When choosing a face cream, you should first ask yourself what sort of face cream you’re looking for.
The time of day you use the face cream plays an important role in your choice. For example, a day cream is primarily designed to moisturise and protect against weather and environmental factors. A night cream often contains richer ingredients for extra nourishment and is designed to support the skin’s natural repair process whilst you sleep.
If you’re looking for a face cream that you can use both during the day and at night, a 24-hour cream is the ideal all-in-one day and night care solution for you.
In addition, there are anti-wrinkle creams for mature and prematurely ageing skin types where fine lines and wrinkles have become visible, as well as specialised skincare creams designed to care for facial skin affected by rosacea, redness, blemishes, acne, eczema or other specific skin concerns.
Which face cream is best suited to your skin type?
Your skin largely determines which face cream is best for you. Do you quickly experience a tight feeling, redness, blemishes or, conversely, the first signs of fine lines? If so, your skin requires different care to skin that has few specific issues.
Face cream for dry skin
Does your skin quickly feel dry or tight after showering or cleansing? If so, your skin often needs extra nourishment. Richer face creams with nourishing and soothing ingredients such as shea butter, avocado oil and other plant-based oils are well suited to this.
Tip: use the ‘dry skin’ filter to quickly find a suitable face cream.
Face cream for sensitive skin
Does your skin react quickly to cosmetics, temperature changes or other external factors? If so, a mild face cream is often the best choice. Many people with sensitive skin opt for mild formulas with a simple composition and soothing ingredients.
Tip: use the ‘sensitive skin’ filter to quickly find a suitable face cream.
Face cream for oily skin
Does your skin quickly become shiny or oily during the day, especially on your forehead, nose and chin? If so, you’ll usually want to choose a lighter face cream that moisturises without feeling heavy or greasy. Many people with oily skin prefer light, airy formulas containing ingredients such as aloe vera, jojoba oil and plant extracts.
Use the filters ‘Oily skin’, ‘Light texture’, ‘Acne’ or ‘Blemish-prone skin’ to quickly find a suitable face cream.
Face cream for mature skin
Are fine lines and wrinkles gradually becoming more visible, or do you notice that your skin feels less firm and supple, or lacks the youthful radiance it once had? If so, you might want to opt for a richer face cream containing nourishing oils, antioxidants and other ingredients commonly used in skincare for mature skin.
Tip: use the ‘anti-ageing’ or ‘anti-wrinkle & firming’ filter to quickly find a suitable face cream.
Face cream for normal skin
Do you have skin that shows no visible signs of ageing and doesn’t really suffer from any issues: not dry, not oily, no spots, no redness, no blemishes or sensitivity? Then a good daily skincare routine that moisturises and protects without feeling too heavy is usually all you need.
Tip: use the ‘normal skin’ filter to quickly find a suitable face cream.
Face cream for rosacea and redness
Skin affected by rosacea or redness needs, above all, to be soothed with calming ingredients. That’s why it’s best to choose hypoallergenic face creams with mild and soothing ingredients that help to calm inflammatory reactions in the skin.
Tip: use the ‘redness & rosacea’ filter to quickly find a suitable face cream.
Face cream for blemishes, spots and acne
Skin with spots, blackheads and other blemishes also needs care. Lighter face creams that moisturise the skin without feeling heavy or greasy are often popular in this category.
Tip: use the ‘blemishes & acne’ filter to quickly find a suitable face cream.
Face cream for very dry, atopic skin
Do you suffer from very dry, flaky or tight skin? If so, your skin often requires more intensive care than normal dry skin. Rich face creams containing ingredients such as shea butter, cocoa butter, jojoba oil and other plant-based oils help to keep the skin soft and supple.
Use the ‘Very dry and atopic skin’ filter to quickly find a suitable face cream.
Face cream for skin with eczema
Skin affected by eczema is often dry, sensitive and has a compromised barrier function. In this case, it’s best to opt for hypoallergenic face creams with a simple formulation and mild, nourishing ingredients.
Use the ‘Very dry and atopic skin’ and ‘Hypoallergenic’ filters to quickly find a suitable face cream in our Special care cream collection.
Which ingredients would you prefer to avoid in face creams?
Many conventional face creams – and even some marketed as ‘natural’ – contain ingredients that we would prefer to avoid.
Examples include silicones, mineral oils, microplastics, PEGs, synthetic fragrances, synthetic colourants and denatured alcohol.
Below, we explain the most common undesirable ingredients in more detail.
Silicones
Silicones are used to make the skin feel instantly smooth and soft. They form a film on the skin, making imperfections appear temporarily less visible. We prefer natural alternatives that nourish the skin without this artificial film.
Mineral oils
Mineral oils are cheap ingredients derived from petroleum. Manufacturers use them because of their low cost and occlusive properties. In natural cosmetics, plant-based oils are more commonly chosen as they are better suited to the nature of natural skincare.
Microplastics
Microplastics are used to enhance the texture, structure and stability of a formula. These plastic particles are non-biodegradable and do not align with the principles of natural cosmetics.
PEGs
PEGs are used as emulsifiers or solvents. They ensure that water and oil mix well together. In natural cosmetics, alternative emulsifiers of natural origin are more commonly chosen.
Synthetic fragrances
Synthetic fragrances are added to create a specific scent experience. However, some people prefer fragrance-free skincare products or scents derived from natural sources.
Synthetic colourants
Synthetic colourants generally have no skincare function but are used to enhance a product’s appearance. They are therefore often unnecessary in natural skincare.
Alcohol denat.
Alcohol denat. is commonly used to help products dry more quickly or feel lighter on the skin. In higher concentrations, this ingredient can feel drying on the skin.

What is the difference between an anti-ageing cream and an anti-wrinkle cream?

An anti-wrinkle cream is specifically designed to care for mature skin and visible lines and wrinkles. Within our range, anti-wrinkle creams may also have anti-ageing properties, but not every anti-ageing cream automatically falls into the anti-wrinkle cream category.
