Product Summary
"ALOE for CURE - Intensive Stick Balm" has a good moisturizing formula.
Ingredient callouts
- As a plus, this moisturizer also contains Ceramides (ceramide np 0.35% - 0.85%). Ceramides are a type of lipids that our skin produces itself. They are a building block of the skin's barrier. Ceramides used in skincare are synthetic or extracted from plants. They work well for softening the skin surface and "patch holes" in the skin's barrier.
