Astral Intensive Moisturiser with Cocoa Butter

"Astral - Intensive Moisturiser with Cocoa Butter" has a good moisturizing formula. To work well, any moisturizer needs to include a combination of water-binding and emollient ingredients. Astral - Intensive Moisturiser with Cocoa Butter ticks this box. Humectants in this product (glycerin) 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). Lanolin, paraffinum liquidum, isopropyl myristate, theobroma cacao seed butter and lanolin alcohol in this product help decrease the water evoporation from the skin, so that it stays hydrated for longer. These ingredients also soften the skin and take away the feeling of tightness and dryness.
