Based on the ingredients included, "Bigger than Beauty Skincare - Defying Gravity™ Deep Hydration Moisturizer" works well for moisturizing the skin. To work well, any moisturizer needs to include a combination of water-binding and emollient ingredients. Bigger than Beauty Skincare - Defying Gravity™ Deep Hydration Moisturizer ticks this box. Panthenol, glycerin, polyglycerin-3, sodium hyaluronate and butylene glycol 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). Limnanthes alba seed oil, cetearyl alcohol, coco-caprylate/caprate, caprylyl glycol and dicaprylyl carbonate in this product help decrease the water evoporation from the skin, so that it stays hydrated for longer. These ingredients also soften the skin and take away the feeling of tightness and dryness.
