MoisturizingGlycerin, Ganoderma lucidum extract + 3 moreWorks
“A blend of soothing coconut, nourishing reishi, and relaxing rose hydrosol hydrates and restores skin's protective layers.”
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:
glycerin, cocos nucifera water.
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: cocos nucifera oil, carthamus tinctorius oleosomes.

Product summary
"Alaffia - Toning Coconut Facial Mist" could be helpful for: Moisturizing, but its actives are not the most effective or are not well-studied.
Ingredient callouts
- This product also contains Vitamin C (Ascorbic Acid). It can be an effective active for anti-aging and evening out the skin tone, but in this product it is used for stabilizing other ingredients in the formulation. In this concentration (0.35% - 0.80%) it cannot have a noticeable benefit for the skin.
- Humectants (glycerin 4.70% - 7.00%). These ingredients help attract water to the upper layer of the skin and improve the skin hydration.
About the brand
