The Shelf · Skincare So Good We Still Haven’t Found the Dupe
Egyptian Magic All Purpose Skin Cream
Five ingredients, on sale since 1991, and nobody has bothered to copy it because there is nothing to copy. The formula is public, the ingredients are in any wholesaler's catalogue, and it still has no competitor. Undupable does not always mean protected. Sometimes it means nobody could be bothered to try, and the original just kept selling.

Why we like the All Purpose Skin Cream
- Five ingredients, all of them named, none of them doing nothing

- It has outlasted every trend it has ever been adjacent to
- Texture
- Solid balm in a jar that melts on contact, 4 oz
- Key ingredients
- Olive oil · Beeswax · Honey · Royal jelly · Bee propolis
- Fragrance
- The brand says there are no synthetic fragrances in it, and names five ingredients in total. We could not find a full list to check that against, so take it as their claim rather than ours. What you smell is the honey.
