Product summary

"Acqua di Parma - Arancia di Capri Spray Body Lotion" is a well-rounded moisturizing product. The formulation is based on a combination of good humectants and emollients. Both are needed to increase the skin hydration level. Panthenol and butylene glycol in this product (humectants) attract water molecules to the upper layer of the skin (the water comes from the outside air or from the deeper layers of the skin if the air is dry). Vitis vinifera seed oil, c10-18 triglycerides, c12-15 alkyl benzoate, olea europaea fruit oil and glyceryl stearate citrate in this product help decrease the water evoporation from the skin, so that it stays hydrated for longer. These ingredients also soften the skin and take away the feeling of tightness and dryness.

Ingredient callouts

  • This formulation also includes panthenol (pro-vitamin B5) at about 0.55% - 1.30% concentration. In this concentration, panthenol works effectively to improve the skin barrier and reduce inflammation.
