Known as simply “The Cream” for a reason, this cult-loved moisturizer was developed by scientist Augustinus Bader after he worked with adolescent burn victims.

Board-certified dermatologist Rosemarie Ingleton was inspired by the natural wonders of her homeland Jamaica while formulating this silky face cream.
