MoisturizingLanolin, Butyrospermum parkii butter + 12 moreStrong evidence
“Aurelia London Aromatic Repair & Brighten Hand Cream deeply moisturises skin for brighter, softer, younger-looking hands and stronger nails.”
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, aloe barbadensis leaf juice.
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, caprylic/capric triglyceride.
The following ingredients in this product are especially good for supporting the skin barrier and helping with the hydration level: lanolin
Evens skin tonePancratium maritimum extractModerate evidence
“Aurelia’s pigmentation complex, based on coveted sea daffodil, helps to reduce the size and density of pigmentation by up to 61% and lightens dark spots for brighter hands that appear younger.”
The following ingredient (ingredients) in this product might be helpful, but there is no evidence to confirm that it actually works: pancratium maritimum extract.
Anti-agingButyrospermum parkii butter, Aloe barbadensis leaf juice + 1 moreLimited evidence
“Aurelia London Aromatic Repair & Brighten Hand Cream deeply moisturises skin for brighter, softer, younger-looking hands and stronger nails.”
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.
