MoisturizingArgania spinosa kernel oil, Echium plantagineum seed oil + 5 moreGood evidence
“Prickly Pear Oil contains particularly high levels of phytosterols which bind water within the skin, increasing hydration and cellular function.”
This product can help soften the skin and reduce its moisture loss with emollients and occlusives: helianthus annuus seed oil, argania spinosa kernel 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).
