In addition, this product contains Allantoin (1.90% - 2.80%). Allantoin is helpful in wound-healing and can help restore the skin barrier faster. It might also be able to improve scars, but the evidence is not very strong for this.
Humectants (urea 0.40% - 1.00%, sodium pca 0.10% - 0.35%, glycine 0.10% - 0.45%, saccharide isomerate 1.60% - 2.40%, allantoin 1.90% - 2.80% and glycerin 3.90% - 5.80%). These ingredients help attract water to the upper layer of the skin and improve the skin hydration.

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

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).

The following ingredients in this product are especially good for supporting the skin barrier and helping with the hydration level: urea

glycine 0.1% - 0.45%

Irritation risk:

Concentration: Effectiveness: HIGH

Helps to attract water to the upper layer of the skin and can help restore the skin barrier function

saccharide isomerate 1.6% - 2.4%

sodium pca 0.1% - 0.35%

Anti-oxidation

tartaric acid 0.55% - 1.35%

Irritation risk:

Concentration: Effectiveness: MEDIUM

Irritation risk:

Concentration: Insufficient!

Can have some moisturizing properties due to its sugar content
