Moisturizing15 ingredients credited for this claimGood evidence
“Contains honey and highly concentrated botanical extracts including antioxidant-rich propolis, nourishing Echium oil and protective natural source vitamin E. It's also boosted with skin-tightening Oat extract and Silk Tree extract to minimise dark circles and under eye shadows.”
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, sodium hyaluronate.
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: beeswax, caprylic/capric triglyceride.
