This product contains good ingredients to attract water to the upper layer of the skin. These ingredients are called "humectants": sucrose, butylene glycol.

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. If the air is dry, humectants can speed up the moisture loss from the skin. This is why it is a good idea to use another product on top of this one to help "seal in" the moisture (look for ingredients like dimethicone, squalane, oils and butters).

sucrose 0.65% - 1%

Irritation risk:

Concentration: Effectiveness: HIGH

Can help attract water to the upper layer of the skin. In crystal form, it can work as a gentle exfoliant, gentler than the salt scrub. Helps stabilize the emulsion

butylene glycol 1.3% - 1.6%

Irritation risk:

Concentration: Effectiveness: LOW

Used to create a nice product texture and help delivery of other ingredients. Might be somewhat helpful in attracting water to the upper layer of the skin

caprylyl glycol 0.35% - 0.65%

Irritation risk:

Concentration: Effectiveness: LOW

Helps preserve products and creates a nice product texture
