Ursa Major Fortifying Gel Moisturizer 1.7 oz — Lightweight, Fragrance-Free Hydration for Sensitive & Oily Skin

Ursa Major Fortifying Gel Moisturizer is a lightweight, fast-absorbing gel cream that hydrates, soothes, and repairs skin without clogging pores.

This updated formula—previously sold as Fortifying Face Balm—comes in a recyclable glass jar and keeps the same plant-based actives that calm redness, replenish moisture, and leave skin smooth and non-greasy. Fragrance-free, vegan, and free from silicones, parabens, and sulfates, it’s designed as a daily hydrating layer you can wear alone or under sunscreen.

How does this gel moisturizer hydrate without feeling oily?

The gel texture is engineered to deliver concentrated hydration that absorbs quickly and leaves no heavy residue. Lightweight emollients and humectants attract moisture while plant-derived oils and birch sap restore the skin barrier without slickness.

• Fast-absorbing gel consistency that feels like a serum.
• Kendi oil and aloe hydrate without clogging pores.
• Non-greasy finish suitable as a base for sunscreen or makeup.

What natural ingredients help soothe redness and sensitivity?

The formula uses gentle, plant-based botanicals selected to calm and tone irritated skin. Birch sap helps even skin tone, aloe soothes and cools, and carrot-derived beta-carotene supports skin appearance without harsh actives.

• Aloe vera for immediate soothing and cooling.
• Birch sap to help reduce visible redness and improve tone.
• Carrot extract for antioxidant support and skin rejuvenation.

Can people with oily or acne-prone skin use this moisturizer?

Yes—the gel’s lightweight, non-comedogenic profile is formulated to hydrate without exacerbating oiliness or breakouts. It provides enough moisture for balance while avoiding heavy oils and silicones that can trap sebum.

• Non-comedogenic, fast-drying texture for oily and combination skin.
• Suitable as a daily layer for acne-prone routines.
• Works well both morning and night under other products.

How does this product fit into a simple daily routine?

Use a pea-sized amount after cleansing and toning, then follow with sunscreen during the day or a targeted treatment at night. Because it absorbs quickly, it’s an effective base for SPF and light makeup without pilling.

• Apply to clean skin morning and/or night.
• Layer under sunscreen or serums for added protection and hydration.
• Works as a standalone moisturizer for low-maintenance skincare.

Who is this for: Ursa Major Fortifying Gel Moisturizer is aimed at anyone seeking a clean, plant-forward daily hydrator—especially those with sensitive, combination, oily, or acne-prone skin who want a non-greasy, fast-absorbing formula. It’s also a good option for shoppers who prioritize vegan, cruelty-free formulations and ingredients without synthetic fragrances, silicones, or parabens.
