What’s “seedcake”?
What’s leftover after pressing the oil out of the seeds.
What’s this cream useful for?
Protecting you from water loss in a dry environment. Making you feel rich because you can afford to spend $380 on 2oz. of a very mediocre cream.
How to make your own “miracle” cream
Modify an existing Skin Actives product containing Sea kelp bioferment, like Ultimate Moisturizing Cream, and add some petrolatum or mineral oil. Mix well, and voila! a real miracle for $20 (for 4oz.) plus the few cents that petrolatum will add.
