MoisturizingPrunus armeniaca kernel oil, Glycerin + 8 moreGood evidence
“Formulated with premium botanical extracts and oils to stimulate the skin’s natural production of oil and moisture, light lotion is perfect for revitalising skin in need of TLC.”
This product can help improve hydration of the skin with the two types of ingredients.
The first type is called “humectants”:
these ingredients help attract water.
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. The following ingredients in this product do the job:
glycerin, hydrolyzed wheat protein.
This product also contains ingredients called “occlusives”. They help reduce the speed with which our skin loses moisture to the outside environment. These ingredients also help soften the upper layer of the skin, so it feels less tight and nicer to the touch. The following ingredients in this product do the job: helianthus annuus seed oil, prunus armeniaca kernel oil.
