“This is a light daily dry skin moisturiser that is perfect for everyday use all over the body and helps keep your skin feeling soft, supple and hydrated.”
This product can help soften the skin and reduce its moisture loss with emollients and occlusives: lanolin, paraffinum liquidum.
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).
The following ingredients in this product are especially good for supporting the skin barrier and helping with the hydration level: lanolin, paraffinum liquidum, petrolatum
