MoisturizingSimmondsia chinensis seed oil, Glycerin + 8 moreGood evidence
“Powered by Glycerine, Jojoba and Vitamin E to protect and hydrate hands, the brand's unique blend of eight essential oils delivers a masculine fragrance of zesty Lemon, Lime and Bergamot, combined with Geranium and Patchouli and laid on a base of Cedarwood, Vetiver and Artemisia Vulgaris.”
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, caprylyl glycol.
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: simmondsia chinensis seed oil, cetearyl alcohol.
