Product summary

Judging from the ingredient list, "BIOTHERM - AFTERSUN OLIGO-THERMAL BODY MILK" works well for improving skin hydration To work well, any moisturizer needs to include a combination of water-binding and emollient ingredients. BIOTHERM - AFTERSUN OLIGO-THERMAL BODY MILK ticks this box. Panthenol, glycerin and caprylyl 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). Emollients in this formulation (glycine soja oil, isopropyl myristate, ribes nigrum seed oil, butyrospermum parkii butter and caprylic/capric triglyceride) help to reduce the moisture loss from the skin. They also soften the skin surface and relieve the feeling of dryness and tightness.

This product contains ingredients that could be beneficial, but their concentrations are too low in this formulation: vitamin e, copper gluconate and apricot kernel oil
