Water Based Moisturiser

Proper skin hydration forms the cornerstone of a healthy complexion. Your skin has a natural moisture barrier composed of lipids and ceramides that protects the cells from external stressors and locks in moisture. However, ageing, pollutants, dry air, UV radiation, and improper skincare can compromise this barrier’s function, leading to dry, irritated, and inflamed skin. Regular moisturising helps prevent the breakdown to ensure the skin remains resilient and hydrated.

At Roccoco Botanicals, we offer a collection of potent water-based moisturisers for all skin types. They are scientifically formulated to mimic the skin’s own hydration system, working deeper to bind moisture within and rebuild the skin barrier from the inside out.

Discover the Water-Based Advantage

Water-based face moisturisers from Roccoco Botanicals offer distinct advantages that make them an invaluable addition to any skincare routine:

  • Lightweight texture with maximum hydration. Unlike oil-dominant formulations that can feel heavy and potentially suffocating to the skin, our water-based moisturisers for the face deliver hydration with a light, breathable feel. 
  • Enhanced absorption and bioavailability. The water base allows for better penetration of active ingredients, including vitamins, peptides, and antioxidants. These ingredients are designed to work more effectively in supporting a healthy complexion by penetrating deeper skin layers.
  • Reduced risk of congestion. Water-based formulations are less likely to occlude pores, making them excellent choices for acne-prone skin. Rather than sitting on the skin's surface, our water-based face moisturisers quickly absorb, delivering hydration deep into the skin where it is most needed.
  • Versatility for multiple skin types. Water-based moisturisers are suitable for oily, sensitive, dry, and combination skin. They provide intensive hydration without additional oil and gently support the skin's natural barrier.

The Essential Water-Based Moisturiser Collection from Roccoco

Roccoco Botanicals has developed a comprehensive range of water-based face moisturisers that contain a minimum of 85% natural ingredients. Safe and research-proven, they harness advanced dermatological technology to address different skin concerns with visible results.

For Ageing Skin: Blueberry Age Cream

This medium-weight, water-based moisturiser specifically targets glycation, which is a primary process causing stiffening and ageing. The formulation of wild blueberry oil and osmanthus fragrans flower extract provides a reservoir of moisture, helps prevent up to 95% of glycation, and delivers an optimal ratio of omega-3 and omega-6 for barrier repair. 

The cream is ideal for dehydrated or combination skin showing the first signs of ageing. Its water-based composition ensures better penetration of active ingredients for maximum efficacy.

For Compromised Skin: Rescue Balm

Despite its "balm" designation, this moisturiser uses a water-based technology to deliver intense hydration with a second-skin effect. It is specifically formulated for barrier-impaired skin conditions, including dermatitis and eczema, and provides intense relief without relying on heavy oils or petroleum-based ingredients.

The formula includes only natural extracts, such as Pueraria lobata to decrease itching, inflammation, and swelling and Sophora flavescens root to boost moisture content.

For Acne-Prone Skin: Eruption Emulsion

This groundbreaking formulation delivers critical hydration for acne-prone skin while addressing underlying factors that contribute to breakouts. Combining niacinamide and zinc ascorbate, the Eruption Emulsion helps regulate sebum production, soothe irritated skin, and prevent microcomedone formation.

For Rosacea and Sensitive Skin: Reactive Skin Cream Intense

This water-based moisturiser specifically targets symptoms of papulo-pustular rosacea and provides essential skin hydration. With palmitoyl tripeptide-38 and cholesterol in its formulation, the cream helps stimulate collagen and hyaluronic acid production and strengthens the skin barrier to prevent dryness and flare-ups. The water-based approach ensures these ingredients penetrate effectively without exacerbating sensitivity.

For Young Skin: Teen Confident Moisturiser

This light water-based moisturiser is part of a comprehensive skincare system that delivers balancing hydration and addresses common teen skin concerns. Its magnolia extract inhibits acne biofilm and helps prevent breakouts, while Australian Kakadu plum provides potent vitamin C for skin renewal. The cream supports the skin's natural defence and promotes a healthy complexion from an early age to help combat the later signs of ageing.
