About Epionce Renewal Calming Cream
Clinically proven to relieve the symptoms of eczema, including itching, redness, and dryness.
Harnessing the power of beeswax to provide skin calming benefits
What Makes it Special
Beeswax comes from honeycombs
Epionce Renewal Calming Cream is formulated to protect the skin barrier and hydrate and repair extremely dry, sensitive skin, even eczema and atopic dermatitis.
It is ideal for skin that is resistant to sensitizers and preservatives typically used in standard moisturizers.
It is also special because Epionce uses beeswax in its’ product range. What is so special about beeswax?
Beeswax has an occlusive quality to provide a barrier while retaining moisture. It protects from irritants and acts as a long-lasting protective barrier layer from environmental irritants and extreme weather.
Dr. Thornfeldt, Clinical Dermatologist and Founder of Episciences, and creator of Epionce, says:
“beeswax soothes irritated skin making it an excellent choice as a healing skincare ingredient”
In addition to beeswax, Renewal Calming Cream includes key natural ingredients to soothe and treat.
Let’s take a look:
Key Ingredients
Colloidal Oatmeal
Colloidal Oatmeal is finely ground oat grain. It is an emollient and FDA classified as a skin protectant. It blocks an inflammatory response on the skin, which stops redness and itching.
Colloidal oatmeal contains a polyphenolic antioxidant highly effective on eczema and other forms of atopic dermatitis to halt inflammation and itching. [1]
It is the active ingredient in this formulation at 0.03%.
White Water Lily Extract
White water lily extract is hydrating and conditioning, creating plumper, brighter and smoother skin.
It’s an anti-inflammatory and helpful to skin sensitized by topicals, rashes, eczema, psoriasis of rosacea.
Ceramides
Ceramides are naturally found in our skin cells, partially compromised of fatty acids. They are part what structures and maintains the water permeability and barrier function of our skin. [2]
Many skin disorders such as atopic dermatitis, psoriasis and contact dermatitis have diminished skin barrier function. [3] Lipid composition in diseased skin is characterized by decreased levels of ceramide and altered ceramide profiles have a diminished barrier function due to a decreased ceramide content or pattern. [4]
Restoring these ceramides can quickly improve skin barrier functions and appearance.
Beeswax
Beeswax is a bee by-product made from honeycombs. It softens the skin. It has an occlusive quality to provide a barrier while retaining precious skin moisture.
It is a natural skin conditioner.
Rosa Canina Fruit Oil
Rosa Canina Seed Oil is a moisturizing plant oil loaded with skin-nourishing fatty acids (linoleic acid – 51%, linolenic acid – 19%, and oleic acid – 20%).
Rosehip Canina Seed Oil is high in Vitamins A, C, and E. They provide nutrients, fade acne scars and promote cell turnover.
Rosehip Canina Seed oil also has omega-6 and omega-3 fatty acids to soothe and moisturize eczema or dry skin. [5]
Meadowfoam Seed Oil
Meadowfoam Seed Oil is a very stable oil that lubricates and can stay on the skin without leaving a residue after it is rinsed off.
Apple Fruit Extract
Apple Fruit Extract is anti-aging and skin-smoothing.
Rich in antioxidants, it helps skin retain elasticity and it a very mild exfoliant.
Safflower Seed Oil
Safflower Seed Oil is high in Omegas 3, 6, and 9.
It hydrates dry skin, soothes irritation, and enhances skin texture and appearance.
Safflower Seed Oil delays premature aging and tightens and brightens the skin.

The Experience
The Epionce Renewal Calming Cream formula absorbs in well without feeling tacky on dry-down. If you have chronic skin dryness this is a godsend to ease red, itchy irritated skin.
Epionce Renewal Calming Cream is not only a go-to formula for chronically dry skin, but for irritation caused by topicals such as peels and retinol. I love it after a glycolic acid peel.
If you can’t tolerate retinol use, Epionce Renewal Calming Cream makes an excellent retinol partner to get through red, peeling stage.
