What is Fresh Creme Ancienne?

This is an interesting cream made by the fresh company. Back in the 2^nd century this exact cream was invented to be used on the Gladiators wounds after their battles in the arena. This cream was meant to quickly heal the damage done to the skin. It was such a delicate cream that it had to be made by hand and history shows that it was actually made by monks in European monasteries. When the fresh company looked into this cream they thought of all the benefits that this healing cream could have on skin now days with the environmental and internal damages that we all suffer from when it comes to our skin. They also fell in love with the history of this cream and so they decided to recreate it. As they started the process of making this ancient cream for us they decided that they wanted to stay true to the history of this cream. They use the same formula and even have it handmade in European monasteries by none other than the monks who live there.  I think this is such an interesting idea to use a healing cream that is so ancient and has so much history behind it.

Final Thoughts

I think the history behind this cream is pretty cool and love that this company has brought it back to life, but I don’t think I would buy it. I think that you are paying for a story and the costs to make and ship the cream more then you are the good ingredients and quality of cream. Another thing that crosses my mind is that I would want something that is leading edge technology from present day rather then something that worked on wounds in centuries ago, it seems like now that there is so much more knowledge on skin, delivery methods of products, and ingredients that the products offered now would be able to do more than this. The other big concern about this cream is the cost.  This cream is $250 for 3.5 oz
