Augustinus Bader The Body Cream

Augustinus Bader The Body Cream for dry skin, from neck to toe

Augustinus Bader The Body Cream is a rich body cream for normal to very dry skin. It is aimed at stretch marks, cellulite and loss of firmness, and formulated for all skin types, including sensitive. It goes on after the shower, once or twice a day.

It is built on TFC8, the brand's own technology, which it says supports skin cell communication for continuous, visible renewal. Nava carries the face, body and hair line it belongs to.

For your face, the line's richer cream for normal to dry skin is the rich face cream built on the same TFC8.

What the brand says it does

1. Deeply hydrates and locks in moisture for plump skin with greater bounceback
2. Visibly firms and smooths texture for softer, more supple skin
3. Visibly reduces cellulite and stretch marks
4. Nourishes and helps strengthen the skin barrier
5. Comforts and replenishes dry, rough, stressed skin

In its two 12-week trials of 35 participants aged 18 and over, the maker reports a 75% reduction in the appearance of cellulite on the hips, 74% on the buttocks and 64% on the thighs, and a 64% reduction in the appearance of stretch marks.

In a separate 4-week study, 55 people aged 35 to 65 rated it themselves: 100% agreed it left skin intensely moisturized and hydrated, 98% that skin felt firmer and more plump, 92% that it helped reduce the appearance of cellulite and 90% that it helped reduce the appearance of stretch marks.

What is in it, and what is not

Shea butter, bisabolol, niacinamide and a polysaccharide moisture complex sit beside TFC8. Shea butter comes second on the ingredient list, after water.

The formula is vegan and free from fragrance, parabens, sulfates, mineral oil, petrolatum, paraffin, heavy metals, talc, silicones and DEA.
