MoisturizingRicinus communis seed oil, Simmondsia chinensis seed oil + 10 moreWorks
“Well known for its skincare properties, it provides up to 24 hours of hydration while conditioning and nourishing the lips.”
This product can help soften the skin and reduce its moisture loss with emollients and occlusives: cera alba, helianthus annuus seed oil.
Keep in mind that this product does not contain effective ingredients to attract water to the upper layer of the skin. This is why an additional product with humectants like glycerin or hyaluronic acid can be helpful (apply it before this product for the best results).
Anti-oxidationSide benefit · Vaccinium macrocarpon seed oil, Vitis vinifera seed oil + 6 moreMay help
This product contains antioxidants (vaccinium macrocarpon seed oil) 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.
