How it works
The Serene Hand Cream Lavender & Marjoram is a 30ml cream, used as the last skincare step, morning and evening, over serum. The plant extract it is built around is Illicium Verum (Anise) Fruit Extract, named twenty-fifth on its own ingredient list. The same list carries Helianthus Annuus (Sunflower) Seed Oil, Butyrospermum Parkii (Shea) Butter and Arginine, so the plant extract is not the only thing on it worth naming. How much of the Illicium Verum (Anise) Fruit Extract stays on the skin, and for how long, is decided by the cream format rather than by the list alone. AROMATICA sells this Illicium Verum (Anise) Fruit Extract cream in Korea, and this is that version.

- Arrives with its Korean-market barcode and batch code intact for a direct authenticity check against the packaging

- Reviewed for accuracy by a licensed dermo-cosmetic expert before it reaches the product page
Key actives
Illicium Verum (Anise) Fruit Extractplant extract
Star Anise Fruit Extract carries aromatic plant compounds. It is used as a conditioning extract and contributes scent. On this cream's own ingredient list it is named twenty-fifth.
Helianthus Annuus (Sunflower) Seed Oilemollient
Sunflower Seed Oil is high in linoleic acid, the fatty acid dry and blemish-prone skin is often short of. It is a light, non-fragrant emollient and one of the better tolerated plant oils. The panel names it fifth on this cream's list, beside Illicium Verum (Anise) Fruit Extract.
Butyrospermum Parkii (Shea) Butteremollient
Shea Butter is the fat pressed from the shea nut, rich in oleic and stearic acids and unsaponifiable plant sterols. It is a heavy emollient and partial occlusive, which is why it sits in balms and night creams rather than in essences. It is named sixth on this cream's list, alongside Illicium Verum (Anise) Fruit Extract.
Arginineamino acid
Arginine is an amino acid that does two jobs here: it holds water in the outer layer of skin, and it neutralises acidic gelling agents, which is why it often stands in for a synthetic pH adjuster. It is named fifteenth on this cream's list, alongside Illicium Verum (Anise) Fruit Extract.
Where does this cream go in my routine?
As the last skincare step, morning and evening, over serum. Anything thinner than a cream goes on before it, and anything richer goes on after. If you are adding it to a routine you already like, give it a week on its own first, so what you see is the Illicium Verum (Anise) Fruit Extract and not three changes at once.
Does this cream contain fragrance?
Yes. The ingredient list names Benzyl Alcohol, Benzyl Benzoate, Citral and Coumarin. They sit on the panel printed on this page, so you can read the position for yourself before you buy. If fragrance components are something you avoid, this cream is not the one.
What else is on the list besides Illicium Verum (Anise) Fruit Extract?
Helianthus Annuus (Sunflower) Seed Oil, Butyrospermum Parkii (Shea) Butter and Arginine. The order they are printed in on this cream's panel is the order on the box, so you can see where Illicium Verum (Anise) Fruit Extract sits relative to them. Illicium Verum (Anise) Fruit Extract itself is named twenty-fifth on it.

Payment and security
We accept
How to use
- Massage a small amount into clean, dry hands, working it into the knuckles and cuticles where dryness shows first.
Worth knowing
- Patch test on the inner arm before a first full application if you are trying a new Korean formula for the first time, since a fragrance or botanical extract that suits most skin can still be the one thing an individual complexion does not tolerate.
- Introduce any new Korean-market formula on its own for the first few uses before layering it with the rest of an existing routine, so any reaction is easy to trace to a single product.
