Moisturizing

This product can help soften the skin and reduce its moisture loss with emollients and occlusives: squalane, linolenic acid.

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).

The following ingredients in this product are especially good for supporting the skin barrier and helping with the hydration level: linoleic acid

linoleic acid 2.2% - 3.3%

Irritation risk:

Concentration: Effectiveness: HIGH

linolenic acid 1.7% - 2.5%

Irritation risk:

Concentration: Effectiveness: HIGH

ribes nigrum seed oil 6.6% - 9.9%

Irritation risk:

Concentration: Effectiveness: HIGH

An emollient. Can be helpful for restoring skin barrier function.

Anti-oxidation

This product contains antioxidants (bisabolol). In theory, they could help neutralize free radicals in skin and lessen the damage it gets from the UV light (sun), but there is no evidence that these ingredients can have a noticeable effect in skin.

bisabolol 2.5% - 3.7%

Irritation risk:

Concentration: Effectiveness: LOW

An active component of chamomile plant that historically has been used to calm down irritated skin. A recent study shows that bisabolol indeed can have some anti-inflammatory effect on skin, even though conclusive data is lacking. Bisabolol has a sweet floral scent and can be added to products for its aromatic properties

ribes nigrum seed oil 6.6% - 9.9%

Irritation risk:

Concentration: Effectiveness: LOW

An emollient. Can be helpful for restoring skin barrier function.
