Moisturizing15 ingredients credited for this claimGood support
“Beautifully housed and delectably scented, this makes a wonderful addition to your bedside table; just massage over lips whenever you're craving a shot of hydration – it's totally addictive...”
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:
sodium pca, hydrolyzed wheat protein.
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: ricinus communis seed oil, diisostearyl malate.
Anti-aging1 ingredient credited for this claimLimited support
“One of By Terry’s best-loved lines, Baume de Rose is an indulgent, multi-purpose balm which is adored by hordes of beauty editors, bloggers and the AAA-list.”
This product does not contain ingredients that are able to reduce fine lines and wrinkles or help with skin elasticity, but it can improve the look of the skin temporarily through moisturization. Well-moisturized skin might also be able to repair the sun damage better.
The biggest anti-aging effect in this product comes from sun protection. Sun damage is the main factor causing early signs of skin aging. We, however, do not recommend using this product as a sunscreen because the protection it offers is not strong enough).
