This week saw a new skin balm /natural moisturiser arrive at Shop Naturally this week, Egyptian Magic. It's one of those products that has celebrity endorsements up to wazoo. Those kinds of things don't really impress me. What's impressive though is the sheer volume of wealthy (and yes famous) people who use it when they could afford to spend $400 on a tub of whatever the latest miracle is. What impresses me is that the same cream is loved by dermatologists and naturopaths the world over.

So, what is Egyptian Magic?

It's a tub of oil based moisturising cream that has multiple uses. It is made up of 6 x 100% pure, natural ingredients.

  1. Olive Oil
  2. Beeswax
  3. Honey
  4. Bee Pollen
  5. Royal Jelly
  6. Propolis Extract

Models use it to get an extra glow on the runway. When you first apply, it is an oily application. When you first apply it to your skin, it's a thin white cream. As you rub it in, it melts in your hands and turns in to a clear oil. After 10-15 minutes, it will sink in and not be noticeable, but you will feel a little oily for several minutes after you use it, so while it's great to rub on your hands as you go to bed, doing it at work when you're about to start typing again isn't a good idea.

What can I use Egyptian Magic for?

We have seen some pretty long lists for what this cream can do. I don't like using words 'miracle' or 'magic' in our advertising and marketing, I prefer to call this one VERSATILE. Here's just a handful.

  • All over body lotion
  • Hair Treatment
  • Skin Cleanser & makeup remover
  • Soothe cracked heels & dry elbows
  • Soothe baby bottoms
  • Soothe itchy & dry skin
  • Remove the sting from bites or sunburn
  • Soothe rashes
  • Soften Stretch Marks
  • Lip Balm

Who can use Egyptian Magic?

It's safe for everyone. Whether it's men, women, babies, pregnant women or kids, there's nothing that isn't natural and there are no added fragrances, so it's a unisex smell. Those with allergies to bee pollen or honey should proceed with caution to ensure they don't ingest it.

Is Egyptian Magic vegan?

No it's not. It's vegetarian, but not vegan. Egyptian Magic heavily features honey, beeswax, propolis, bee pollen and royal jelly. 5 of the 6 ingredients in the formula come from bees.
