Product summary

"Balea - Night cream with mandel oil" has a good moisturizing formula. To work well, any moisturizer needs to include a combination of water-binding and emollient ingredients. Balea - Night cream with mandel oil ticks this box. Panthenol and glycerin in this product (humectants) attract water molecules to the upper layer of the skin (the water comes from the outside air or from the deeper layers of the skin if the air is dry). Emollients in this formulation (phytosterols, c12-15 alkyl benzoate, cetearyl alcohol, olea europaea fruit oil and prunus amygdalus dulcis oil) 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

  • Panthenol (pro-vitamin B5) at about 0.35% - 0.85% concentration. In this concentration, Panthenol works effectively to improve the skin barrier and reduce inflammation.
