Take the skin testThe Bonajour Green Multi-Vitamin Vital Nutrition Cream combines highly efficient ‘Vitamin C derivative’ and vitamin tree extract with niacinamide to effectively take care of dark spots. GMO-FREE Moisturizing ingredients derived from corn and ECOCERT certified squalane make your skin moist and refreshed.
Green Multi-Vitamin Vital Nutrition Cream is a cushioning cream from Bonajour. The formula is built mainly around hydration and soothing. The ingredient list runs to 22 ingredients, each broken down in full below.
By its ingredient list the formula reads as moderately cushioned — emollient enough to feel like a cream, without the heaviest occlusives near the top. Hydration is handled by Propanediol, Ethylhexylglycerin and Cetearyl Alcohol, humectants that pull water into the upper layers of skin rather than sealing it there.
Hydration: High. Ingredients that pull and hold water in the upper layers of skin, and here that comes from Propanediol, Ethylhexylglycerin, Cetearyl Alcohol and Cetyl Ethylhexanoate.
Soothing: High. Ingredients aimed at visible redness and reactivity, and here that comes from Cetyl Ethylhexanoate, Hippophae Rhamnoides Fruit Extract, Niacinamide and Tocopherol.
Brightening: Moderate. Ingredients that act on uneven tone and post-inflammatory marks, and here that comes from Niacinamide, 3-o-ethyl Ascorbic Acid and Tocopherol.
Barrier support: Moderate. Lipids and repair signals that support skin barrier integrity, and here that comes from Niacinamide.
On richness alone it suits Balanced skin best, and is the least natural fit for Dry, Combination (dry), Combination (oily) and Oily skin. Nothing in the list is flagged as a common irritant, which is a reasonable starting point for reactive skin — though a patch test is still the only way to know.
The formula contributes little or nothing on cell renewal and firmness signalling. That is not a fault — most products are not meant to do everything — but if one of those is your priority, this is not the product that will address it. One ingredient on the label has not been matched to our database yet, so the analysis above reads a slightly incomplete list.
It does contain essential oils, worth knowing if your skin reacts to any of them.
It can be used morning and evening. In a routine it goes after serums. Seal in your serums with it; in the morning, sunscreen still goes on top.
This summary is generated from the product's ingredient list. It is not a review, it is not the brand's own marketing claims, and it does not replace advice from a dermatologist.

Scored on how rich or light the formula reads from its INCI order.
No ingredient in this formula carries a common-irritant flag, making it a reasonable option for reactive skin. A patch test is still recommended, as individual skin reactivity varies.
