Six ingredients. One jar. Approximately 47 uses. Egyptian Magic is the all-purpose skin cream you’ll find in every makeup artist’s kit and on every grandmother’s bedside table.
What’s in it
Olive oil, beeswax, honey, bee pollen, royal jelly, propolis. That’s the entire formula. No preservatives, no fragrance, no fillers.
What it does
Hydrates, heals, soothes. I use it as a cuticle balm, lip mask, knee softener, post-shave moisturizer for irritated patches, and an overnight rescue cream for skin that’s been over-exfoliated. It melts on contact with body heat from a thick paste into a clear oil.
The verdict
Buy the big jar. You’ll go through it. The most useful $40 in your bathroom.
