What’s the Difference between Norwex Day Cream and Night Cream?

A number of e-mails questioning the difference between our new organic Day and Night creams have been received. A quick look at their labels suggests they are quite similar, however, if we take a closer look you will see that:

• Day Cream is much higher in antioxidant extracts, including those from Butterfly Bush, Thyme, Artemesia, and Edelweiss – none of these are in the Night Cream;
• Day Cream contains more emulsifier, jojoba oil, and macadamia nut oil than Night Cream; and
• Night Cream contains Imperatoria and sodium hyaluronate (attracts and retains moisture within the skin) - neither of these are in the Day Cream.
  

Both creams contain a number of similar emollient (skin softening) and nourishing ingredients such as aloe, shea butter, and macadamia nut oil etc., but as you can see, there are still quite a lot of differences, especially in the primary active ingredients.
 
In summary, the Day Cream’s primary function is to provide antioxidants and nourishment, while the Night Cream results in the skin appearing fresher and brighter. As we do most of our regenerating when we sleep – it is the perfect time to apply!
