Vanicream Skin Care, and Hair Care Products, are often at the top of any good dermatologist’s list when it comes to products for taking care of your skin, and there’s a good reason for it. Vanicream, as a brand is known for using only the cleanest, healthiest, and most skin-sensitive ingredients in all of the products they produce. Moreover, Vanicream pairs and backs these clean ingredients with cutting-edge science to ensure they are as healthy and gentle as possible.

This makes Vanicream an important and crucial ally for anyone suffering from problematic skin conditions like eczema, psoriasis, dermatitis, acne, rosacea, and more. Vanicream skin and bath products are known to be free from dyes, fragrances, parabens, lanolins, essential oils, formaldehyde, and even botanical extracts. You can rest easy knowing Vanicream skin and body products will not only provide much-needed relief from these skin conditions, but they’ll do so without leaving behind an unsightly heavy and greasy residue.

Vanicream Sustainability:

For nearly 48 years, Vanicream™ has been committed to providing high-quality, effective, and safe products for those with sensitive skin. We know how important it is to take care of our skin, and we believe it is equally as important to take care of our planet. The health of current and future generations relies on companies to lead the way in practices that are environmentally, socially, and economically sustainable.

At Vanicream™, their motto is “The most important ingredient is trust™.” Just as you trust their expertise in sensitive skincare, you can trust their dedication to caring for the planet.

Vanicream is continuously working towards sourcing low-emission energy for its facility. For starters, 25% of their electricity (based on 2021 usage) is sourced through a local hydro plant by purchasing Renewable Energy Credits.

A Renewable Energy Credit (REC) is renewable electricity sourced from a low or zero-emission resource. This helps to reduce scope 2 GHG emissions associated with the facility’s electricity usage and supports the development of renewable energy sources. Vanicream’s goal is to source 100% of its electricity from renewable sources using RECs by 2030.

In addition, Vanicream uses 100% biodegradable cornstarch packing peanuts in its shipments. These packing peanuts are able to decompose in water, leaving no toxic waste. They also reuse pallets, cardboard boxes, and pallet papers during the shipping process to cut down on excess waste.

Vanicream utilizes the UPS carbon-neutral shipping option for all of its UPS shipments. As a result, the extra fee they pay goes towards different environmentally positive projects (including reforestation, landfill gas destruction, and more). Moreover, this more sustainable shipping option helps offset the emissions caused by the transport of the shipment.

In particular, Vanicream’s popular Liquid Cleanser comes in a convenient 32oz refill size which can be used to refill pump bottles, helping to reduce plastic waste. Vanicream’s 32oz size of their Liquid Cleanser can be used to refill one 8oz pump bottle four times, saving over 60% in packaging by weight when a 32 oz refill is used instead of purchasing four 8oz bottles. The 32oz Liquid Cleanser bottle can then also be recycled.

Many of Vanicream’s products are packaged using recyclable components. To recycle once the product is used, remove the pump (if applicable), rinse to remove the remaining product, and refer to the number on the bottom of the container to find out where to recycle.

Lastly, Vanicream has begun converting to LED lighting in their facility and added motion-sensor lighting in certain areas to help conserve energy. They even use electric forklifts, which are only charged when needed and not daily. These electric forklifts produce zero emissions, helping to lower their carbon footprint even further while also creating a healthier work environment in their warehouse.

Why Clean Skin Care & Body Products Are Important –

Our skin is among one of the most sensitive organs in, or rather on, our bodies. Because of this, it is crucial that we take care of our skin as best we can. The first step towards the wellness and care of our skin starts with protecting it from outside contaminants. Humans are a part of nature, and thanks to this, we tend to react the best to more natural substances. This usually holds true for our skin as well. On the flip side, when we interact with more processed chemicals and manmade substances, our bodies tend to react negatively.

When it comes to our skin, this negative reaction often reveals itself as redness, rashes, acne, eczema, rosacea, psoriasis, and other forms of skin irritation. This is exactly why clean skincare and healthier bath, and body products are so vitally important. When we use products with pure and natural ingredients, like those from Vanicream, it can create a miraculous healing effect free from skin allergies and irritations. This is why so many of our customers report loving, repurchasing, and becoming loyal to Vanicream’s products, so much so that they’ve told us!

Who Can Benefit From Vanicream Products:

Vanicream For Acne: Unfortunately, numerous skincare and body products that are made for acne or anti-aging can sometimes end up leaving skin very dry, causing flaking or clogged pores and making acne worse. Unlike those products, Vanicream products, like Vanicream Skin Cream, for instance, are non-comedogenic, meaning they will not clog pores, making it the perfect product to combat the drying effects of anti-aging skincare and the clogging of poorly made acne products.

Vanicream For Eczema & Sensitive Skin: Many eczema patients can also suffer from other sensitive skin issues and should use caution when purchasing skin care products. Anything that contains fragrances, dyes, or other harmful ingredients could cause burning and may not provide enough hydration to treat symptoms. Thankfully, Vanicream products contain no harmful ingredients or chemicals and are ideal for sensitive skin and individuals with eczema.

Vanicream For Dry Skin: Have you ever been dehydrated and been able to tell by the way your skin looks and feels? This little trick tells us that hydrated skin is always healthier skin. During winter, many of us suffer from itchy, dry skin due to lower humidity levels. Vanicream skin care products offer a much-needed boost of moisture, making them the perfect addition to your winter skincare regimen.

Vanicream For Allergies & MCS: Do you struggle with MCS (multiple chemical sensitivities) or allergies? Then you’re probably aware that the ingredients in your products are vital to a happy and healthy life. Ingredients like additives, preservatives, fragrances, dyes, and even essential oils or botanical extracts can irritate the skin, especially for those with allergies and chemical sensitivities. This is why Vanicream has made an entire line of clean and safe skin and body products, so you can find the perfect product for your needs!

Vanicream For Outdoor Activities: Large amounts of time outdoors can lead to its fair share of skin irritations, especially in more extreme weather. Winter often brings cold temperatures and significant dryness, while summer brings high heat and sunburns. Vanicream knows that there are times being outside in these conditions can’t be avoided. This is why they developed specific products for these situations, and you can rest assured knowing they contain the very best ingredients.

Vanicream For Everyday: We all have our favorite bath and body products that were accustomed to and use in our regular hygiene routines. However, some of our favorites may not be as clean or as skin sensitive as we might have thought. When this is the case, it can cause all sorts of irritating symptoms like rashes, redness, itching, and even dandruff and dry skin. Thankfully, Vanicream knows how important the everyday products we use are and has created many clean and chemical-free alternatives for some of our most used items.
