“Working to deeply hydrate while brightening skin's appearance, the golden mud treatment envelops the face in a sensorial pleasure, once reserved for royalty, nurturing and smoothing to help enhance the natural beauty of skin.”
This product can help improve hydration of the skin with the two types of ingredients.
The first type is called “humectants”:
these ingredients help attract water.
When humectants are on the surface of the skin, they “pull in” the moisture from the outside environment, or from
within deeper layers of the skin. The following ingredients in this product do the job:
biosaccharide gum-1, glycerin.
This product also contains ingredients called “occlusives”. They help reduce the speed with which our skin loses moisture to the outside environment. These ingredients also help soften the upper layer of the skin, so it feels less tight and nicer to the touch. The following ingredients in this product do the job: dimethicone, squalene.
Anti-oxidationSide benefit · Squalene, Dunaliella salina extractMay help
This product contains antioxidants (squalene) that might be able to help neutralize free radicals in skin to lessen the damage it gets from the UV light (sun). There is not enough evidence to confirm their effectiveness in skin though.

Ingredient callouts
- Peptides (palmitoyl tripeptide-1 0.25% - 0.45% and palmitoyl tetrapeptide-7 0.25% - 0.40%). There are many different kind of Peptides and they are naturally present in our skin. They all are a combination of aminoacids. Some of them work as natural antibiotics, promote wound-healing and production of collagen. The science is still not settled on how effective Peptides are in skincare, but it is very likely that they have a benefit. They might help restore the skin barrier and fight the signs of aging. At the very least, Peptides work as humectants: they attract water to the upper layer of the skin and improve its hydration.
- Humectants (glycerin 4.20% - 5.20%, sodium lactate 0.20% - 0.35%, sodium hyaluronate 0.20% - 0.35%, saccharide isomerate 0.20% - 0.35%, hyaluronic acid 0.20% - 0.35% and biosaccharide gum-1 0.20% - 0.35%). These ingredients help attract water to the upper layer of the skin and improve the skin hydration.
