MoisturizingHelianthus annuus seed oil, Butyrospermum parkii butter + 10 moreGood evidence
“Cellular Renewal Body Cream With TFC8 A rich, luxurious body cream that intensely hydrates while helping to visibly improve tone and texture.”
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:
anhydroxylitol, glycerin.
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: butyrospermum parkii butter, helianthus annuus seed oil.
Anti-agingButyrospermum parkii butter, TocopherolLimited evidence
“helps awaken dormant stem cells, ramping up skin’s natural renewal processes and revealing refreshed, youthful-looking skin.”
This product does not contain ingredients that are able to reduce fine lines and wrinkles or help with skin elasticity, but it can improve the look of the skin temporarily through moisturization. Well-moisturized skin might also be able to repair the sun damage better.This ingredient - butyrospermum parkii butter - could be helpful for preventing or repairing signs of aging in theory, but there is no evidence that it actually works.

“Effects include visible reduction of sun damage and a firmer skin tone, as well as increased hydration and a healthy, radiant glow.”
