Judging from the ingredient list, "Erbaviva - Baby Cream" works well for improving skin hydration To work well, any moisturizer needs to include a combination of water-binding and emollient ingredients. Erbaviva - Baby Cream ticks this box. Humectants in this product (panthenol, glycerin, hyaluronic acid and aloe barbadensis leaf juice) help to increase the water content in the upper layer of the skin. (These ingredients do so by "capturing" water molecules from the outside air or from within the deeper layers of the skin). Theobroma cacao seed butter, butyrospermum parkii butter, helianthus annuus seed oil, cetyl alcohol and glyceryl stearate in this product help decrease the water evoporation from the skin, so that it stays hydrated for longer. These ingredients also soften the skin and take away the feeling of tightness and dryness.
