Cowshed Summer Limited Edition Refreshing After Sun Lotion

"Cowshed - Summer Limited Edition Refreshing After Sun Lotion" has a good moisturizing formula. This moisturizer uses a good combo of humectants and emollients. These both types of ingredients are essentials for improving the skin hydration and keeping the skin barrier healthy. Humectants in this product (betaine, glycerin and aloe barbadensis leaf juice) 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). Caprylic/capric triglyceride, coco-caprylate, polyglyceryl-6 stearate, prunus amygdalus dulcis oil and glyceryl stearate 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

• We are excited that this moisturizer contains Cannabidiol, or CBD (0.35% - 0.75%). CBD is a new active in cosmetic products, and the studies on its effect in skin are still going on. CBD is one of the compounds in the cannabis plant. It does not have any psychotropic effects. When used topically, CBD can bind to skin cell receptors and "change their behavior". It can help reduce inflammation, itching, and help support skin barrier function. It also might be able to reduce acne.
