Take the skin testThe Mary&May Shea Butter & Rice Bran Body Cream is a luxurious, fragrance-free body moisturizer designed to deeply nourish and hydrate dry, rough, and sensitive skin. Formulated with 20% high-concentration Butyrospermum Parkii (Shea) Butter, it provides intense hydration, softening tough areas like elbows and feet, leaving skin smooth and supple. Oryza Sativa (Rice) Bran Extract, rich in vitamins and amino acids, nourishes the skin for a clear, radiant complexion, while Ceramide NP strengthens and protects the skin barrier, locking in moisture for long-lasting hydration.
Shea Butter & Rice Bran Body Cream is a lightweight cream from Mary&May, a brand based in Korea. The formula is built mainly around hydration. The ingredient list runs to 23 ingredients, each broken down in full below.
By its ingredient list the formula reads as light: water and humectants lead, with emollients kept lower in the order. Silicones in the formula tend to give a smooth, blurred finish and help it grip under makeup. Hydration is handled by Glycerin, Ethylhexylglycerin and Butylene Glycol, humectants that pull water into the upper layers of skin rather than sealing it there.
Hydration: Very high. Ingredients that pull and hold water in the upper layers of skin, and here that comes from Glycerin, Ethylhexylglycerin, Butylene Glycol and Water.
Soothing: Moderate. Ingredients aimed at visible redness and reactivity, and here that comes from C12-15 Alkyl Benzoate, Butyrospermum Parkii Butter and Tocopherol.
Barrier support: Moderate. Lipids and repair signals that support skin barrier integrity, and here that comes from Butyrospermum Parkii Butter and Ceramide NP.
On richness alone it suits Balanced skin best, and is the least natural fit for Dry and Combination (dry) 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 antioxidant protection, oil control, brightening and tone and cell renewal. 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.
Reading the full list, the formula is fragrance-free, essential-oil-free, no drying alcohol, paraben-free, sulfate-free and dye-free. Those claims come from the ingredient list itself, not from the packaging.
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.
