What can the product work for?

Works for

Moisturizing

Moisturizing

This product contains good ingredients to attract water to the upper layer of the skin. These ingredients are called "humectants": sucrose.

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. If the air is dry, humectants can speed up the moisture loss from the skin. This is why it is a good idea to use another product on top of this one to help "seal in" the moisture (look for ingredients like dimethicone, squalane, oils and butters).

euphorbia cerifera cera 1.2% - 1.8%

Irritation risk:

Concentration: Effectiveness: HIGH

Helps soften the upper layer of the skin and thickens the product's texture

sucrose 26% - 39%

Irritation risk:

Concentration: Effectiveness: HIGH

Can help attract water to the upper layer of the skin. In crystal form, it can work as a gentle exfoliant, gentler than the salt scrub. Helps stabilize the emulsion

garcinia indica seed butter 6.4% - 9.6%

Irritation risk:

Concentration: Effectiveness: MEDIUM

Helps soften the upper layer of the skin. It mostly contains oleic acid which is not the most effective emollient to prevent water loss, but might have an anti-inflammatory effect

Exfoliation

What does the product description say?

Gingersnap™ Gentle Solid Face Scrub

Source: From product name

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.
