Product summary

Based on the ingredients included, "Andalou Naturals - Lavender Thyme Refreshing Body Lotion" works well for moisturizing the skin. To work well, any moisturizer needs to include a combination of water-binding and emollient ingredients. Andalou Naturals - Lavender Thyme Refreshing Body Lotion ticks this box. Humectants in this product (panthenol, glycerin and aloe barbadensis leaf juice) help to increase the water content in the upper layer of the skin. (These ingredients do so by "capturing" water molecules from the outside air or from within the deeper layers of the skin). Emollients in this formulation (theobroma cacao seed butter, helianthus annuus seed oil, cetyl alcohol, ethylhexyl palmitate and glyceryl stearate) help to reduce the moisture loss from the skin. They also soften the skin surface and relieve the feeling of dryness and tightness.
