Product summary

"African Pride - Moisturizing Leave-In Cream" is a well-rounded moisturizing product. To work well, any moisturizer needs to include a combination of water-binding and emollient ingredients. African Pride - Moisturizing Leave-In Cream ticks this box. Humectants in this product (panthenol and glycerin) help to increase the water content in the upper layer of the skin.
