Product summary

Based on the ingredient list, "Hampton Sun - Sunless Tanning Gel" can work well for skin moisturization. To work well, any moisturizer needs to include a combination of water-binding and emollient ingredients. Hampton Sun - Sunless Tanning Gel ticks this box. Humectants in this product (urea, cyclomethicone, glycerin, sodium hyaluronate and sodium pca) help to increase the water content in the upper layer of the skin. (These ingredients do so by "capturing" water molecules from the outside air or from within the deeper layers of the skin). Cyclomethicone, dimethicone, dimethiconol, phenyl trimethicone and cyclopentasiloxane in this product help decrease the water evoporation from the skin, so that it stays hydrated for longer. These ingredients also soften the skin and take away the feeling of tightness and dryness.
