The Problem


there's a reason you land looking older than you feel.
The air in a plane cabin is brutally dry. Business class averages about 7% humidity, drier than the driest desert on Earth. Most cabins sit below 20%. Your skin is mostly water, and it gives that water up to the dry air for the entire flight. Crews have a name for the result: plane face. Tight, dull, lined, older. It isn't the red-eye, and it isn't your age. It's the air.

Why normal skincare fails up there

your hydrating serum can make it worse.
Hyaluronic acid and most "hydrating" products are humectants. They pull water from the air around them. In your bathroom that works beautifully. In a 10% cabin there's no water in the air to pull, so they draw it from deeper in your skin instead, and the cabin takes it. A serum with nothing sealed over the top can leave you drier than before you put it on. Sheet masks and face mists do the same thing.

The fix

one cream. two jobs. ten seconds.
At altitude your skin needs two things, done in the same moment: water put in, and that water sealed under something the dry air can't pull through. Aloft Cabin Cream does both in one layer. Hyaluronic acid floods moisture in. A blend of skin-like oils, avocado and sweet almond, with vitamin E, seals it down. Because the seal is in the same cream, you can't forget it. Smooth it on before descent and walk off looking like yourself.

Why we made it


built by people who fly for a living.
Aloft started with an airline pilot who spent years watching the same thing happen in the lavatory mirror before descent. The humidity numbers were no secret to the flight deck. The fix was.

After digging through dermatology papers and the tricks veteran crews trade in the galley, the answer turned out to be simple: the right two jobs, in one cream, in a format that can fly. No miracle molecule. Just a cream built for the one place your bathroom routine was never designed for.

The receipts

  • Business class cabin humidity averages about 7%, drier than the driest place on Earth. (CTT Systems, which builds aircraft humidifiers, via Business Traveller)

  • Cabin air strips water from the skin's top layer rapidly on long flights. (Skin Research and Technology, 2012)

  • A humectant with nothing sealed over the top can leave skin more dehydrated in dry cabin air. (consultant dermatologist Dr. Justine Hextall)

That's why one cream that floods and seals beats a serum on its own at altitude.

FAQ

Is this just a rebranded drugstore moisturizer?

No. The full ingredient list is right on this page; the point was never a secret ingredient. It's the flood-and-seal formula and the carry-on format, built specifically for cabin air instead of a bathroom.

Will this cause me to break out?

No retinol, no acids, no actives. It's a simple hyaluronic-acid-and-oils cream meant to sit gently over your normal routine. If your skin is very reactive, patch test first.

Does it have a scent?

No, it's fragrance-free.

Can men use it?

Yes. No fragrance-pink, no ten-step routine. One jar, ten seconds.

Is it only for flights?

It's built for dry cabin air, but it works anywhere dry: hotel rooms, winter, air conditioning. Face, under-eyes, lips, and hands.

Will it pass airport security?

Yes. It's 2 oz, under the 100ml limit, and fits a quart bag.

What's your return policy?

60 days, full refund, keep the jar.
