Crème du Nil
Luxuriously lightweight. Seriously hydrating. 100% plant-powered.
A cruelty-free, vegan daily moisturizer that’s as mindfully crafted as it is effective. Crème du Nil harnesses the plant-based power of botanical ingredients harvested from the source of the Nile River.
WHAT IS IT
This uniquely lightweight yet nourishing daily moisturizer contains deeply replenishing Nilotica, hibiscus flower, and Ugandan Vanilla—a potent botanical cocktail that delivers moisturizing fatty acids, naturally exfoliating Alpha Hydroxy Acids, hyaluronic acid, anti-inflammatory antioxidants, and nourishing Vitamin A, E + K to repair, protect and brighten skin. Ideal for all skin types, it can be worn under makeup during the day or layered with a serum at night.
Does not contain synthetic fragrances, parabens, silicones, PEGs, sulfates, phtalates, synthetic dyes, petrochemicals, gluten, mineral oil, or triclosan. It is vegan, plant-based, and cruelty-free.
BENEFITS
A perfectly balanced mix of hydration, moisturization, and barrier support, the Crème du Nil keeps skin soft and supple all day.
The Crème du Nil is naturally rich in:
VITAMIN A (a precursor to retinol), which supports natural collagen production and promotes cellular turnover for brighter, smoother skin.
HIBISCUS, known as "Nature's Botox", it contains natural AHAs to gently retexturize and smoothe skin, as well as high concentration of antioxidants + Vitamin C that can help reduce the break down in skin elasticity and help promote collagen.
VITAMIN E, which helps to reduce inflammation, keep skin clear, blemish-free, and deeply moisturized without irritating.
VITAMIN K, which helps to reduce puffiness and dark circles, boosts skin elasticity, and promotes wound healing.
ANTIOXIDANTS, especially in the form of Catechins, which is the same antioxidants as in green tea. Great for free-radical defenses to fight fine lines, UV damage, and discoloration.
ALLANTOIN to calm irritation and reduce redness.
25% more ESSENTIAL FATTY ACIDS compared to regular Shea butter - to calibrate and restore a compromised skin barrier, gently smooth texture and reveal glowing, healthy skin.

FAQ
The Crème du Nil is non-comedogenic. We added Hibiscus to further exfoliate gently and refine your pores, without irritating your skin. The cream is rich in hydration but lightweight in feel, designed to nourish without clogging pores.
Plant-derived (from olives)! Creme du Nil is a vegan formulation.
Massage a blueberry-sized dollop onto a cleansed face and neck using gentle, upward strokes. The Crème du Nil works great layered over a serum/face oil as the final step in your routine (especially for normal/combination/oily skin or during warmer summer months).
For dry skin, during winter, or for an overnight moisture boost, we recommend applying the Crème du Nil before ending with a pea-sized amount of the Pure Nilotica Melt. Bundle the Crème du Nil with a Pure Nilotica Melt in the AM/PM Kit to save on both.

We developed the formula with no artificial fragrance, sulfates, parabens, and other allergens specifically for people who have issues with most cosmetic formulas.
The "fragrance" is a natural ginger oolong scent - without synthetics or fillers. Because it’s used at just 0.5% strength (vs. around 5% common in conventional beauty), the scent is subtle and doesn’t linger after application.
We also don't use what is known as masking agents (common additives to alter or cover up the natural aroma of a product), as we believe in products being as close to their natural states as possible. As such, you'll also feel some grounding, earthy notes of the botanical base.
Current labeling regulations require us to list it simply as "fragrance," despite its natural origin. We're working on a reformulation that will allow us to list each scent component individually, which is something we’re hoping to be able to launch in the near future pending final testing.
LXMI’s copper wand is a dual-purpose tool designed to elevate your skincare ritual. Use the flat, black end to hygienically scoop product from jars, keeping your skincare free from contamination.
Then, turn the wand around and glide the rounded copper tip over your face in upward, outward strokes to gently massage the product into your skin. This end helps boost circulation, depuff, and promote absorption — offering a cooling, calming effect that transforms your routine into a moment of self-care. If you already have plenty of copper wands from previous orders, you can also choose to opt out of receiving further copper wands to reduce environmental waste.
Bonus tip: store it in the fridge or dip the copper tip in ice water for an extra cooling effect.

A social impact brand differs from a regular business, whose primary focus is profit. Like a non-profit, the main driver for an impact brand is to make a difference - but it sustains itself through the products or services it sells (not donations).
LXMI’s impact mission centers around uplifting marginalized women & Indigenous communities and protecting biodiversity through ethical + regenerative ingredient harvesting. For us, doing good isn’t an add-on or an afterthought to doing business — it’s the foundation. Business is the vehicle, not the end goal. We exist to create meaningful change for people and the planet, and commerce is simply the engine that sustains and amplifies that impact. Thank you so much for being part of making a difference!
