Fruit of the Earth Aloe Vera After Sun Lotion
Works for
MoisturizingGlycerin, Helianthus annuus hybrid oil + 3 moreWorks
“Fruit of the Earth After Sun Lotion quickly soothes, cools and restores moisture to skin exposed to the sun, water and wind.”
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.
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: dimethicone, helianthus annuus hybrid oil.
Anti-agingSide benefit · Retinyl acetate, Magnesium aluminum silicateMay help
This product contains retinyl acetate. This ingredient might be able to help reduce and prevent fine lines and wrinkles, improve skin elasticity and firmness, but there is not enough evidence that it actually works.
