"Elizabeth Grant - Torricelumn Absolute Face Oil" has a good moisturizing formula. To work well, any moisturizer needs to include a combination of water-binding and emollient ingredients. Elizabeth Grant - Torricelumn Absolute Face Oil ticks this box. Panthenol, glycerin, sodium hyaluronate and propylene glycol in this product (humectants) attract water molecules to the upper layer of the skin (the water comes from the outside air or from the deeper layers of the skin if the air is dry). Emollients in this formulation (glycine soja oil, isopropyl myristate, caprylic/capric triglyceride, chondrus crispus extract and helianthus annuus seed oil) help to reduce the moisture loss from the skin. They also soften the skin surface and relieve the feeling of dryness and tightness.
