We create our Level 5 Moisturizers from pure plants - for skin experiencing extreme dryness, the kind that feels tight, fragile, or deeply depleted. Intentionally formulated with soothing, botanical ingredients at low temperatures, preserving nutritional values and supporting ultra dry skin. Level 5's are concentrated, contain no synthetic ingredients or fillers, and yet, they are not heavy or clogging.

Level 5 Moisturizers offer deep protection and restoration, designed to help comfort and support skin that feels cracked, chapped, or severely dry. Many customers whose hands are frequently washed or exposed, such as those working at medical facilities, with tools, in water, or exposed to the elements, notice a remarkable difference even after one use. With continued daily use, skin feels more resilient, nourished, and balanced.

Botanical Protection (ABS):

This formula contains dense plant oils and waxes, traditionally known to provide mild, natural UV protection. While not a synthetic sunscreen, these botanicals contribute to a protective layer that supports skin during environmental exposure. Moisturizing Level 5 — is our most intensive level of moisture support. See more about our Botanical Scale.

What Makes Level 5 Different

Level 5 contains no water or fillers. Every jar is made entirely of concentrated botanicals chosen for their ability to soften, protect, and support the skin’s natural barrier. 

Highly Concentrated Care: Our Level 5 Moisturizers are incredibly rich and concentrated (as they don't contain any fillers, just solid moisturizers). To use, start with a small amount (about the size of a green pea), and rub it between your palms until it melts into a smooth, luxurious oil. Then, apply it to your skin with clean hands and massage it in thoroughly for maximum absorption.

• Skin Type: Normal to Very Dry. Supports severely dry, cracked, or weather-worn skin when used consistently
• Texture: Extra rich and thick (natural harvest variations may affect texture slightly)
• Purpose: Suitable for use on the body, face, and even intimate areas.  Softens coarse hair and beard. Excellent for massage, facial care, full body use, and areas needing extra protection
• Concentration: 100 percent active, highly concentrated with zero fillers (no alcohol, no water)
• Residue: Deeply nourishing, best used sparingly and massaged in well
• Pure: Free from dyes, colors, fragrances, and all artificial ingredients
• Protection: Provides long-lasting moisture, often felt for 10 to 12 hours
  

How to Use

Because Level 5 is fully concentrated, a small amount goes a long way. Warm a tiny amount between your hands and massage it into your skin until absorbed. Best applied to slightly damp skin for optimal comfort and feel.

• For Your Skin: This moisturizer is fabulous for your skin! It deeply hydrates, restores, and protects, nourishing your skin and leaving it soft, supple, and glowing. Start with a little (the size of a green pea) and rub it between your hands to melt it. Then apply it to your skin (with clean hands) and rub it in well.
• For Your Face: Yes, Level 5s are perfect for your face! Melt a little in your palm and gently rub or tap onto your face. All our Level 5 moisturizers are anti-aging, helping to protect against wind, cold, and sun while restoring skin irritated by harsh weather. For best results, check out our "10 Steps to Healthy Skin" guide.
• For Your Nails: When applying Level 5 to your body, don’t forget your nails! Rub a little extra into them to deliver a boost of nutrition that will strengthen and fortify them over time.
• For Your Hair: Level 5 can be used on the end of dry, coarse hair or beards to add moisture and shine. Since our products are unlike anything you’ve used before, be sure to read our Natural Hair Care Guide for tips on achieving the best results.
• For Lubrication: This moisturizer is safe enough to be used anywhere on your body to reduce friction, even in intimate areas. However, do not use Minty Relief or Riverflow for intimate occasions, as they naturally reduce swelling and desensitize. 

Additional Details

• Size: 4 oz white GLASS jar, with safety screw-off lid.
• Itchy Skin Issues: Level 5 is not recommended for use on active skin conditions such as eczema, dermatitis, OR fungal issues. Those skin issues are better addressed with our Level 4 Moisturizers, especially Wildwood and Warrior options. 
• Why is the scent, color, and texture different? By their very nature, plants vary from harvest to harvest. Since our products are made from plants, you may notice slight variations in color, scent, or texture. This is completely normal and expected. If you think about it, this variation is a true sign of a truly natural product. See more on Level 5 Texture, Use, and Storage.
