“What Else You Need to Know This body serum is formulated with sea moss, aloe stem cells, and evening primrose oil to nurture and replenish the moisture in your skin.”
This product can help soften the skin and reduce its moisture loss with emollients and occlusives: chondrus crispus extract, helianthus annuus seed oil.
Keep in mind that this product does not contain effective ingredients to attract water to the upper layer of the skin. This is why an additional product with humectants like glycerin or hyaluronic acid can be helpful (apply it before this product for the best results).
