Esmi Skin Minerals Rose & Bamboo Gentle Foliants

MoisturizingCaprylic/capric triglyceride, Glycerin + 8 moreWorks
“Rose oil’s antiseptic and astringent properties can help to cool and calm inflamed skin and its moisturising factor is well suited to dry skin types.”
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, caprylyl glycol.
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: caprylic/capric triglyceride, simmondsia chinensis seed oil.
Anti-agingTocopherolNot delivered
“The mild exfoliation stimulates cell turnover to reveal younger, softer skin.”
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 punica granatum extract might be able to help neutralize free radicals in skin and help it fight off some of the sun damage.
ExfoliationNo ingredient credited for this claimNot delivered
“A delicate, restorative exfoliation experience for skin needing TLC.”
This product does not contain effective exfoliating ingredients. It might be able to deliver physical exfoliation, that is scrub off some of the dead cells on the surface of the skin. We do not recommend physical exfoliation, because it is not uniform (some bits of skin can get exfoliated too much while others not at all). It can also traumatize the skin and aggrevate acne and other skin conditions.
Anti-oxidationSide benefit · Punica granatum extract, Oenothera biennis oil + 5 moreMay help
This product contains antioxidants (punica granatum extract) that might be able to help neutralize free radicals in skin to lessen the damage it gets from the UV light (sun). There is not enough evidence to confirm their effectiveness in skin though.
