Who is Vanicream -

Vanicream Skin Care, as well as their Bath & Body Products, are most likely at the top of the list of products recommended by dermatologists, and there's a good reason for that. As a brand, Vanicream uses clean ingredients and cutting-edge science to develop their skincare and bath/body products to be as gentle as possible on easily irritated and sensitive skin.

This includes anyone with eczema, psoriasis, dermatitis, acne, rosacea, and more. Vanicream products are known to be free from dyes, fragrances, parabens, lanolins, essential oils, formaldehyde, and even botanical extracts. Their products help provide much-needed relief for those with sensitivity-prone skin without leaving behind a greasy, heavy feeling which is why they are beloved by many.

Why We Love Vanicream:

Because their products are free from common chemical irritants found in most other ordinary skin care products, you can be sure Vanicream is going to great lengths to choose high-quality ingredients that are instead safe and effective for sensitive skin. As a result, they specifically ensure their products are safe for those with sensitive skin issues and are tested and monitored for safety and quality. Because of this, they have received many awards along the way.

  • They meet and exceed the FDA's (Federal Drug Administration) requirements
  • They develop their products in a "Good Manufacturing Practices" compliant facility and are regularly inspected by the FDA
  • They are licensed by the Minnesota State Board of Pharmacy as a pharmaceutical manufacturer
  • Their Moisturizing Cream, Lotion, and Ointment, Gentle Body Wash, Cleansing Bar, and Gentle Facial Cleanser have been awarded the National Eczema Associations Seal of Acceptance

Vanicream Sustainability:

For nearly 48 years, Vanicream™ has been committed to providing high-quality, effective, and safe products for those with sensitive skin. We know how important it is to take care of our skin, and we believe it is equally as important to take care of our planet. The health of current and future generations relies on companies to lead the way in practices that are environmentally, socially, and economically sustainable.

At Vanicream™, their motto is "The most important ingredient is trust™." Just as you trust their expertise in sensitive skincare, you can trust their dedication to caring for the planet.
Vanicream is continuously working towards sourcing low-emission energy for its facility. For starters, 25% of their electricity (based on 2021 usage) is sourced through a local hydro plant by purchasing Renewable Energy Credits.

A Renewable Energy Credit (REC) is renewable electricity sourced from a low or zero-emission resource. This helps to reduce scope 2 GHG emissions associated with the facility's electricity usage and supports the development of renewable energy sources. Vanicream's goal is to source 100% of its electricity from renewable sources using RECs by 2030.

In addition, Vanicream uses 100% biodegradable cornstarch packing peanuts in its shipments. These packing peanuts are able to decompose in water, leaving no toxic waste. They also reuse pallets, cardboard boxes, and pallet papers during the shipping process to cut down on excess waste.
Vanicream utilizes the UPS carbon-neutral shipping option for all of its UPS shipments. As a result, the extra fee they pay goes towards different environmentally positive projects (including reforestation, landfill gas destruction, and more). Moreover, this more sustainable shipping option helps offset the emissions caused by the transport of the shipment.

In particular, Vanicream's popular Liquid Cleanser comes in a convenient 32oz refill size which can be used to refill pump bottles, helping to reduce plastic waste. Vanicream's 32oz size of their Liquid Cleanser can be used to refill one 8oz pump bottle four times, saving over 60% in packaging by weight when a 32 oz refill is used instead of purchasing four 8oz bottles. The 32oz Liquid Cleanser bottle can then also be recycled.

Many of Vanicream's products are packaged using recyclable components. To recycle once the product is used, remove the pump (if applicable), rinse to remove the remaining product, and refer to the number on the bottom of the container to find out where to recycle.

Lastly, Vanicream has begun converting to LED lighting in their facility and added motion-sensor lighting in certain areas to help conserve energy. They even use electric forklifts, which are only charged when needed and not daily. These electric forklifts produce zero emissions, helping to lower their carbon footprint even further while also creating a healthier work environment in their warehouse.

Why Clean Skin Care & Body Products Are So Important –

The skin is one of the most sensitive organs of our body and is arguably the most vital one. The first basic step towards skin wellness and skin care begins with protecting our skin from outside influences. Being part of nature, our skin reacts well to natural substances and absorbs them easily. In contrast, ingredients made from complex chemicals and harmful substances are not regularly accepted by the body.

As a result of these chemicals, our skin can react negatively, resulting in rashes, redness, acne, eczema, and other forms of skin irritation. This is precisely why Vanicream's products are so important. When we use products made of pure and natural ingredients, it creates a miraculous healing effect with no harmful repercussions or allergies. Because of this, many of our customers report loving and repurchasing Vanicream Products, and they've even told us so!

Who Can Benefit From Vanicream Products:

Vanicream For Acne: Many skincare and body products that target or "alleviate" acne or even anti-aging can often leave skin very dried out and cause flaking to occur. Vanicream products, like Vanicream Skin Cream, for example, are non-comedogenic, meaning they will not clog pores, making it the perfect product to combat the drying effects of acne products and anti-aging skin care.

Vanicream For Eczema & Sensitive Skin: Eczema patients often also suffer from sensitive skin and need to use judgment and caution when purchasing skin care. Anything that contains fragrance, dyes, or other unnecessary ingredients can cause burning and often won't provide enough moisture to treat their symptoms. Since Vanicream products contain no unnecessary ingredients or harmful chemicals, they are ideal for sensitive skin and are a powerful aid for those with eczema.

Vanicream For Dry Skin: Have you ever not drunk enough water during the day and been able to tell by the way your skin looks and feels? It just goes to show that hydrated skin is healthy skin. During the driest months of the year, people all over suffer from itchy, dry skin related to lower humidity levels. Vanicream products can offer that extra added boost of moisture and are the perfect addition to your winter skincare routine.

Vanicream For Allergies & MCS: If you are someone who suffers from multiple chemical sensitivities or MCS, then you know that product ingredients are crucial to a happy and healthy life. Additives, preservatives, fragrances, dyes, and even essential oils and botanical extracts can irritate individuals with allergies and chemical sensitivities. This is why Vanicream's commitment to clean skincare and body products runs the gamut so you can find just what you need.

Vanicream For Outdoor Activities: Spending large amounts of time out of doors can lead to its fair share of skin and body irritations, especially in severe weather. Wintertime brings extreme cold and dryness, while summertime can bring extreme heat and sunburns. Vanicream knows that sometimes being outside in such extreme conditions can't be avoided, which is why they've developed specific products just for this reason, and of course, you can rest assured knowing they contain only the best ingredients.

Vanicream For Everyday: We all have our favorite bath and body products that were accustomed to and used in our regular hygiene routines. However, some of our favorites may not be as clean or as skin sensitive as we might have once thought. When this is the case, it can cause all sorts of aggravating symptoms like rashes, redness, itching, and even dandruff and dry skin. Thankfully, Vanicream knows how important the everyday products we use are and has created many clean and chemical-free alternatives for some of our most used items.
