Product summary

Based on the ingredient list, "Babo Botanicals - Moisturizing Baby Conditioner" can work well for skin moisturization. This moisturizer uses a good combo of humectants and emollients. These both types of ingredients are essentials for improving the skin hydration and keeping the skin barrier healthy. 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 (cocos nucifera oil, cetearyl alcohol and glyceryl caprylate) help to reduce the moisture loss from the skin. They also soften the skin surface and relieve the feeling of dryness and tightness.

Ingredient callouts

  • This product contains acids (gluconolactone 1.80% - 2.60% and lactic acid 0.05% - 0.20%). Their concentration is low, and they will not have a strong exfoliating effect.

They might be even able to stimulate the production of skin's natural humectants and support the healthy skin microbiome.
This product contains ingredients that could be beneficial, but their concentrations are too low in this formulation: lactic acid and vitamin e
