Product Spotlight: Heavy Moisturiser

By Georgia DohertyAugust 03, 2025

Rich, restorative hydration for skin that needs more.

When your skin is crying out for deep, lasting moisture - especially in the colder, drier months - lightweight just doesn’t cut it. That’s where Heavy Moisturiser steps in: a deeply hydrating, antioxidant-rich cream that cocoons the skin in comfort and calm.

Designed for dry, sensitive or compromised skin types, this moisturiser goes beyond simple hydration. It delivers barrier support, plumps with humectants and shields your skin against daily environmental stress. The finish is rich without being greasy - leaving your skin soft, protected, and visibly replenished.

Why Your Skin Will Love It:

Deep Hydration That Lasts

Heavy Moisturiser is packed with skin-replenishing ingredients like Glycerin, Sodium PCA, and Sodium Hyaluronate to pull water into the skin and hold it there. These humectants work to plump and hydrate even the driest complexions.

Strengthens the Skin Barrier

This formula includes Butyrospermum Parkii (Shea) Nut Extract, Cetearyl Olivate, and Sorbitan Olivate, a trio of emollients that help restore the skin’s lipid barrier - essential for keeping moisture in and irritants out.

Fruit-Derived Antioxidants

A botanical blend of Watermelon, Apple, and Lentil Extracts delivers antioxidant support, helping to brighten and revitalise skin while protecting against oxidative stress.

Soothing + Calming Complex

Infused with Teprenone, a patented anti-redness molecule known for reducing signs of irritation, alongside Caffeine and Green Tea Extract to calm and comfort easily reactive skin.

Peptide Power

Featuring Palmitoyl Tripeptide-1 and Palmitoyl Tetrapeptide-7, this peptide duo helps to visibly improve firmness, elasticity, and skin texture - especially beneficial for skin that’s feeling rough or tight.

Who It's For:

Dry, dehydrated or winter-parched skin
Skin experiencing flaking, tightness, or irritation
Barrier-compromised or sensitised skin
Anyone craving a richer moisturiser that still wears well under SPF and makeup

When + How to Use It:

Apply Heavy Moisturiser morning and/or night as the final step in your skincare routine - after serums, before sunscreen (AM only). It layers beautifully and helps lock in all the goodness from your previous steps.

Bloc’s Heavy Moisturiser is your skin’s daily defence against dehydration, damage, and discomfort - especially when the temperature drops. Rich, reparative, and thoughtfully formulated, this is hydration that goes the distance.

This product does not contain any ingredients that are contraindicated during pregnancy (like retinoids, hydroquinone, or salicylic acid). It is likely safe for use during pregnancy, especially if your skin tolerates essential oils and fragrance components well.
If you have very sensitive skin or are trying to avoid fragrance during pregnancy, you may want to:
1. Patch test first
2. Consult with your healthcare provider, especially during the first trimester
This product contains several ingredients that are gentle and supportive for sensitive skin, such as glycerin, shea nut extract, sodium hyaluronate, and green tea extract - all known to soothe, hydrate, and support the skin barrier. However, it also includes lemon peel oil and naturally occurring fragrance components like limonene, citral, citronellol, and geraniol, which may cause irritation in very sensitive or reactive skin types. So while the formula is mostly well-tolerated, if you have highly sensitive or allergy-prone skin, a patch test is recommended before full application.
