A biocompatible anti-aging moisturizer that hydrates deeply without smothering the skin. True Botanicals' Chebula Extreme Cream is powered by chebula — one of the most bioactive, photostable, broad-spectrum antioxidants ever studied, with ORAC scores higher than acai — and clinically proven to fight five signs of aging while delivering the kind of moisture usually reserved for far heavier creams. What sets it apart: no pore-clogging waxes, no petrolatum, no synthetic occlusives. The formula lets the skin breathe while it works.
Alongside chebula, the cream is built on acerola cherry (a natural source of vitamin C), low- and high-weight hyaluronic acid for multi-layer hydration, and a dense base of plant butters and oils — mango seed butter, rosehip, jojoba, avocado, safflower, raspberry seed. The finish is rich but weightless, absorbing cleanly into skin that reads plumper, calmer, and more resilient after the first use.
MADE SAFE® certified, screened against 15,000+ known toxins, pregnancy safe, and holds the Sorette Seal of Approval. Approximately 200 uses per jar (about 100 days at twice-daily use).
WHY IT'S SPECIAL
- Chebula as lead active: one of the most potent antioxidants in skincare, with ORAC scores higher than acai. Clinically proven to address five signs of aging in a single ingredient.
- Biocompatible formula that lets skin breathe: no pore-clogging waxes, no petrolatum, no synthetic occlusives — a rare quality in a cream this rich, and the reason it works across skin types (dry, oily, sensitive, blemish-prone).
- Multi-weight hyaluronic acid: low- and high-molecular-weight molecules deliver both surface and deeper hydration, plumping fine lines and locking in moisture.
- Acerola cherry: a natural source of vitamin C that brightens and smooths.
- Mango seed butter, rosehip, jojoba, avocado, safflower, raspberry seed: a dense base of nourishing plant oils and butters.
- Dermatologist recommended: "Extensive research has shown that antioxidants are essential for preventing and correcting signs of skin aging, and chebula is one of the most potent antioxidants I've come across." — Dr. Daniel Butler, MD, Board-Certified Dermatologist.

THE BRAND
True Botanicals was founded in 2014 by Hillary Peterson, after a thyroid cancer diagnosis in her early thirties sent her looking for skincare that didn't force a trade-off between results and safety. Finding nothing that met both criteria, she built the brand herself — working with anti-aging scientists and green chemists to develop formulas that could outperform conventional skincare in independent clinical trials. Every product is MADE SAFE® certified, meaning it's been screened against more than 15,000 known toxins. The standard doesn't move; the formulas just keep getting better.
