Getting Back to Simple Skincare
Though 10-step routines and complicated products have become the norm over the last few years, Gabriela wanted to bring simplicity back to skincare. Reviving classic products that have nearly been lost to time, Gabriela’s taken all the secrets of skincare history and brought them to life in modern, clean formulas.
Each product is designed to have clean ingredients that work — and nothing else! There’s no fillers or false promises, just simple items to give you lovely skin.
Putting Self-Care in Skincare
Each of the Bésame Essentials are designed to give you a relaxing experience. Instead of slathering on cream and hurrying about your day, Gabriela created a custom self-massage for the application of each product. Of course, you can put the creams on quickly, but it’s best to take an extra moment to pamper yourself. With the Bésame Essentials, your skincare routine quickly becomes a self-care routine.
Fragrance-Free
Like all Bésame products, our Essentials are designed for sensitive skin. To create the most effective yet gentle formulas, we made all our skincare products fragrance-free. This eliminates a common source of irritants and makes our line enjoyable for all.
Keepsake Packaging
A jar you won’t want to throw away! Each of the Bésame Essentials is housed in an art deco-inspired frosted glass jar with red aluminum lid. They’re so beautiful, you'll never want to part with them.
Ingredients That Make a Difference
Though Gabriela took inspiration from the past to create this glamorous skincare line — she meticulously updated the formulas to include modern, effective ingredients. No more greasy finish like Cold Creams of the past or pore-clogging day creams from your grandmother’s vanity. Our formulas are clean, innovative, and most importantly, give you the results you deserve.
What’s in The Bésame Skincare Essentials?
Reviving products from the past isn’t easy! Vanishing Cream has practically vanished and Cold Creams are known more from old movies than modern use. Yet there was a beautiful simplicity in these mostly forgotten products that Gabriela had to capture for her skincare debut. After rounds and rounds with the lab (and lots of lucky employees/guinea pigs to put the creams to the test), Gabriela found the right balance of natural ingredients to create the Essentials. Here are the incredible ingredients that will help your skin feel amazing and look even more beautiful.
Cold Cream
This cream cleans skin gently, leaves no spec of dirt behind, and leave dull skin feeling brighter. Even the triple-pigmented Bésame lipsticks don’t stand a chance against our Cold Cream! The thick cream melts away with water, leaving no greasy finish, just clean, nourished, and hydrated skin.

Once a vital part of any woman’s skincare and makeup routine, vanishing cream fell out of fashion in the 1950s. Thankfully, Gabriela’s brought back this powerful primer that evens-out skin tone, reduces the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, and creates a perfect base for makeup.
