Frequently Asked Questions About Apricot Glow Day Cream

What is the Apricot Glow Day Cream made from?

Our Apricot Glow Day Cream is made from 100% natural ingredients with certified organic raw materials. The key active ingredients are Apricot kernel oil (rich in vitamins A, C & E), hyaluronic acid (a powerful natural humectant), and Coenzyme Q10 (an antioxidant that supports collagen). Every jar is handcrafted in small batches in Golden Bay, New Zealand. The formula contains no parabens, sulphates, synthetic fragrances, or artificial colors. For the full ingredient list, check the “Ingredients” tab on this page.

Is this day cream suitable for my skin type?

Yes — Apricot Glow Day Cream is formulated to work beautifully on all skin types. If you have strong dry skin, the organic apricot oil and hyaluronic acid deliver deep, lasting moisture. The lightweight formula absorbs quickly without adding shine or clogging pores. Sensitive skin types benefit from the gentle, chemical-free formulation that soothes rather than irritates. And for combination skin, it balances hydration without overloading any areas. If you have a specific skin concern, feel free to contact us and we’ll be happy to help.

How do I use the Apricot Glow Day Cream?

Apply every morning as part of your skincare routine. After cleansing (we recommend our Divine Ritual, Cleanser & Toner in One), take a small amount and warm it between your fingertips. Gently massage into your face and neck using upward circular motions. Allow 1-2 minutes to fully absorb before applying sunscreen or makeup. For an extra hydration boost, apply to slightly damp skin — the hyaluronic acid will draw in even more moisture.

Can I use this day cream under makeup?

Absolutely! Apricot Glow Day Cream is specifically designed as a lightweight daily moisturizer that works beautifully as a makeup base. The fast-absorbing formula won’t leave a greasy or heavy residue, so your foundation and other makeup products apply smoothly on top. Just allow 1-2 minutes for the cream to fully absorb before applying your makeup.

Is this product truly organic?

Yes. Most raw materials used in our Apricot Glow Day Cream are certified organic by recognized international standards. We source our ingredients from trusted organic suppliers and every batch is handcrafted in our workshop in Golden Bay, New Zealand. While we are a small artisan producer (not a large-scale manufacturer), we are committed to using only certified organic and 100% natural ingredients in everything we make. We never use synthetic chemicals, artificial fragrances, or petroleum-based ingredients.

What does hyaluronic acid do for my skin?

Hyaluronic acid is a naturally occurring substance in your skin that holds moisture. It can hold up to 1000 times its weight in water</strong>, making it one of the most effective hydrating ingredients available in skincare. In our day cream, hyaluronic acid draws moisture into your skin and locks it there, helping to plump the skin, smooth the appearance of fine lines, and maintain a supple, youthful-looking complexion throughout the day. As we age, our natural hyaluronic acid levels decrease — which is why adding it to your skincare routine in your late 20s and beyond is so beneficial.

What does Coenzyme Q10 do in this cream?

Coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10) is a naturally occurring antioxidant that your body produces — but production decreases as you age. In skincare, CoQ10 helps neutralize free radicals caused by UV exposure, pollution, and environmental stress. It also supports your skin’s natural collagen production and energizes skin cells, helping to maintain a firmer, more youthful appearance. Combined with the vitamins in apricot kernel oil, it provides a powerful layer of antioxidant protection for your skin.

Is this day cream cruelty-free and vegan?

Yes, Pachamama Eco Skincare is proudly cruelty-free — we never test on animals and never will. Our Apricot Glow Day Cream is made with plant-based organic ingredients. If you have specific questions about any individual ingredient, please get in touch and we’ll be happy to provide detailed information.

How long does one jar last?

With daily morning use as directed, one jar of Apricot Glow Day Cream typically lasts 8 to 12 weeks. A little goes a long way — you only need a small amount (about a pea-sized dollop) for your entire face and neck. Because our products are handcrafted in small batches without synthetic preservatives, we recommend using within 6 months of opening for maximum freshness and potency.

Can I use this cream if I have acne-prone skin?

The best option in this case is our Anti-Oily Face Cream, which was designed to prevent excess oil and has proven to be effective. We have 5g samples that you can use to verify this.

Do you ship throughout New Zealand?

Yes! We ship to all addresses throughout Aotearoa New Zealand. Orders are carefully packaged in eco-friendly materials to ensure your products arrive safely. For current shipping times and costs, please visit our shipping information page. 

What other products should I use with this day cream?

For the best results, we recommend building a complete organic skincare routine:

Step 1 — Divine Ritual Cleanser & toner in One

Step 2 — Harmony Contour Eye Cream

Step 3 — Moisturise: Apricot Glow Day Cream (morning) 

Step 4 — Avocado & Shea Butter Night Cream (evening)

Where is Pachamama Eco Skincare made?

Every Pachamama product is handcrafted in Golden Bay, located at the top of the South Island, New Zealand. Golden Bay is one of Aotearoa’s most pristine natural environments — and it’s the perfect place to create skincare that honors nature. “Pachamama” means “Mother Earth” in Quechua (the language of the Andes), reflecting our deep commitment to creating products that are good for your skin and kind to the planet. We craft everything in small batches to ensure maximum freshness, quality, and care in every jar.

What is your return policy?

We want you to love your Pachamama skincare. If for any reason you’re not completely satisfied with your Apricot Glow Day Cream, please contact us within 30 days of purchase and we’ll work with you to make it right. Because our products are handcrafted with natural ingredients, we recommend patch-testing on a small area of skin before full application if you have known allergies or very sensitive skin.

Is this day cream safe to use during pregnancy?

Our Apricot Glow Day Cream is made with gentle, natural, certified organic ingredients and contains no retinol, retinoids, salicylic acid, or other ingredients commonly flagged during pregnancy. However, we always recommend consulting with your midwife or healthcare provider before introducing any new skincare products during pregnancy or breastfeeding, as individual sensitivities can vary.

How should I store my Apricot Glow Day Cream?

Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme heat. Because our products are made with natural ingredients without harsh synthetic preservatives, proper storage helps maintain maximum potency and freshness. There’s no need to refrigerate, but avoid leaving the jar in hot cars or direct sun (especially during New Zealand summers). Always close the lid tightly after use and use clean, dry fingers when applying.
