“Key ingredients include Essential Oils of Iris to tone the skin and increase cell renewal, Geranium to soothe skin and reduce lines and wrinkles, calming Chamomile and relaxing Lavender, plus Wheat Germ to help reduce lipid deterioration and Borage to reduce dehydration.”
This product can help soften the skin and reduce its moisture loss with emollients and occlusives: beeswax, butyrospermum parkii butter.
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).
Anti-aging2 ingredients credited for this claimLimited support
“Key ingredients include Essential Oils of Iris to tone the skin and increase cell renewal, Geranium to soothe skin and reduce lines and wrinkles, calming Chamomile and relaxing Lavender, plus Wheat Germ to help reduce lipid deterioration and Borage to reduce dehydration.”
This product does not contain ingredients that are able to reduce fine lines and wrinkles or help with skin elasticity, but it can improve the look of the skin temporarily through moisturization. Well-moisturized skin might also be able to repair the sun damage better.This ingredient - butyrospermum parkii butter - could be helpful for preventing or repairing signs of aging in theory, but there is no evidence that it actually works.
