Product summary

"Comfort Zone - Specialist Hand Cream" is a well-rounded moisturizing product. The formulation is based on a combination of good humectants and emollients. Both are needed to increase the skin hydration level. Humectants in this product (panthenol and glycerin) help to increase the water content in the upper layer of the skin. (These ingredients do so by "capturing" water molecules from the outside air or from within the deeper layers of the skin). Butyrospermum parkii butter, plukenetia volubilis seed oil, squalane, glyceryl stearate citrate and octyldodecanol in this product help decrease the water evoporation from the skin, so that it stays hydrated for longer. These ingredients also soften the skin and take away the feeling of tightness and dryness.

Ingredient callouts

  • This formulation also includes panthenol (pro-vitamin B5) at about 1.20% - 1.80% concentration. In this concentration, panthenol works effectively to improve the skin barrier and reduce inflammation.
