What does the product description say?

Enriched with Osmoter™ and hydrating-soothing botanical extracts including Aloe Vera, Calendula and Bisabolol.

Source: Feelunique

This product contains good ingredients to attract water to the upper layer of the skin. These ingredients are called "humectants": glycerin, butylene glycol.

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. If the air is dry, humectants can speed up the moisture loss from the skin. This is why it is a good idea to use another product on top of this one to help "seal in" the moisture (look for ingredients like dimethicone, squalane, oils and butters).

glycerin 1.4% - 1.7%

Irritation risk:

Concentration: Effectiveness: HIGH

One of the best moisturizing ingredients. Naturally present in skin. It attracts water to the upper layer of the skin working as a humectant

vegetable oil 4.4% - 5.4%

Irritation risk:

Concentration: Effectiveness: MEDIUM

An oil from a mixture of different vegetables. Helps soften the upper layer of the skin

cetyl alcohol 2.8% - 3.4%

Irritation risk:

Concentration: Effectiveness: MEDIUM

A non-drying alcohol that works to soften the skin and stabilize product formulations helping oil and water mix together

Exfoliation

What does the product description say?

Dermud™ (Leave on Dead Sea mud) , Lactic acid powder .

Source: Feelunique

This product does not contain effective exfoliating ingredients. It might be able to deliver physical exfoliation, that is scrub off some of the dead cells on the surface of the skin. We do not recommend physical exfoliation, because it is not uniform (some bits of skin can get exfoliated too much while others not at all). It can also traumatize the skin and aggrevate acne and other skin conditions.

lactic acid 0.2% - 0.4%

Irritation risk:

Concentration: Insufficient!

An exfoliating and moisturizing alpha-hydroxy acid (AHA). Typically causes less irritation than other AHAs, for example, glycolic acid. At high concentrations (about 15%), lactic acid can help reduce lines and wrinkles. Recent studies show that lactic acid can support the "good" bacteria living on skin's surface (healthy skin microbiome)

maris sal 0.2% - 0.35%

Irritation risk:

Concentration: Insufficient!

Used to thicken the product formulation and might help to add minerals to the surface of the skin. It is used in scrubs as a physical exfoliant. Can increase sensitivity to other ingredients if left on the skin or used in high concentration

sea salt 0.15% - 0.3%

Irritation risk:

Concentration: Insufficient!

Used to thicken the product formulation and might help to add minerals to the surface of the skin. It is used in scrubs as a physical exfoliant. Can increase sensitivity to other ingredients if left on the skin or used in high concentration
