Product summary

"Caswell-Massey - Elixir of Love Body Cream" is a well-rounded moisturizing product. The formulation is based on a combination of good humectants and emollients.

Emollients in this formulation (petrolatum, limnanthes alba seed oil, caprylic/capric triglyceride, dimethicone and c12-15 alkyl benzoate) 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: butyrospermum parkii butter and vitamin e
