Annique Resque Rooibos and Hemp Body Crème – 250ml

Nourish, restore and protect your skin — deep hydration that lasts all day.

Some skin needs more than a standard moisturiser can offer, and that is exactly the gap Annique Resque Rooibos and Hemp Body Crème was built to fill. It’s an innovative, deeply nourishing body treatment designed to restore comfort and lasting hydration to dry, dehydrated and sensitive skin, combining hemp seed oil, Rooibos extract, shea butter, cocoa seed butter and Vitamin E into a rich yet genuinely fast-absorbing formula that works to replenish moisture, strengthen the skin barrier and calm irritation from the very first application.

Hemp seed oil is the hero ingredient here, rich in omega fatty acids and vitamins that deeply moisturise the skin while also offering natural antibacterial support. Paired with South Africa’s own Rooibos extract, well known for its powerful antioxidant and calming properties, this crème delivers a genuine dual effect: soothing skin from within the formula while protecting it from further irritation on the outside. That combination makes it particularly well suited to skin that’s exposed to environmental stress, ongoing dryness, or general irritation that a lighter, everyday lotion simply doesn’t address.

Shea butter and cocoa seed butter add intense nourishment and protection on top of that foundation, softening rough, dry areas like elbows, knees and hands while helping the skin retain the moisture the hemp seed oil and Rooibos have already delivered. Vitamin E rounds out the formula as a further antioxidant layer, helping minimise the skin damage caused by everyday free radical exposure while supporting the skin’s overall moisture content over time.

Despite that richness, the crème is genuinely non-greasy and fast-absorbing, which is what makes it gentle enough for the whole family, including children and those with sensitive skin. It’s also entirely camphor-free, giving families who want to avoid stronger, more medicinal-smelling body creams a genuinely comfortable alternative that still delivers real, noticeable results rather than just a pleasant scent.

One customer, Barbara Wicks, shared exactly this kind of real-world result: after a doctor expressed concern about the condition of her leg during a checkup, she was given a sample of the Rooibos and Hemp Crème alongside Resque Crème. At her follow-up, the doctor was reportedly astonished by the visible improvement and asked what products she’d been using, a change Barbara credited directly to these two Annique Rooibos products.

For external use only, and best kept out of reach of children when not in use, this crème is designed to be applied generously and often rather than sparingly. Massaged in with firm, broad strokes straight after bathing, while skin is still slightly damp, it locks in moisture at the exact point skin needs it most, making it a genuinely practical daily habit rather than an occasional treat reserved for particularly dry days.

It’s worth understanding why hemp seed oil and Rooibos work so well together in a formula aimed at compromised or reactive skin, rather than assuming any rich body cream would do. Many intensive body creams rely on heavier occlusive ingredients alone to trap moisture, which can feel comfortable in the short term but does little to actually calm the irritation or barrier damage sitting underneath. Hemp seed oil’s antibacterial and fatty-acid profile works more actively on that underlying discomfort, while Rooibos’s antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties address the environmental stress that so often triggers dryness and irritation in the first place. Combining both, alongside shea and cocoa butter for sealing in that benefit, is what allows this crème to genuinely support skin recovery rather than just masking dryness for a few hours.
