MoisturizingDiisostearyl malate, Bis-diglyceryl polyacyladipate-2 + 10 moreWorks
“Lip balm enriched with organic oils from baobab seed, avocado, calendula and coconut provides lips with nourishment, hydration, juicy pigments and a glossy finish.”
This product can help soften the skin and reduce its moisture loss with emollients and occlusives: bis-diglyceryl polyacyladipate-2, cocos nucifera oil.
Keep in mind that this product does not contain effective ingredients to attract water to the upper layer of the skin. This is why an additional product with humectants like glycerin or hyaluronic acid can be helpful (apply it before this product for the best results).
