“After use, hands will feel comfortable and deeply hydrated, and will glow with health and restored youth.”
This product contains serine. 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.
“Achieve instant hydration below and above the skin’s surface with the Hand Chemistry Triple-Function Hyaluronic-Rich Hydrator.”
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:
alanine, 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: caprylic/capric triglyceride, plukenetia volubilis seed oil.

More about Caprylic/capric triglycerideActs as a solvent for other ingredients. Speeds up the absorption of other ingredients into the skin
More about PropanediolA non-drying alcohol that works to soften the skin and stabilize product formulations helping oil and water mix together
More about Cetyl alcoholAn emollient that helps soften the skin
More about Stearyl alcoholHelps attract water to the upper layer of the skin
More about Saccharide isomerateCan be used to help absorb oil as well as add volume and imporve texture of products.
More about CelluloseA silicone that forms a light film on the skin surface helping to bind water and temporarily absorb oils creating a matt and powdery feel
More about Polysilicone-11Attracts water into the upper layer of the skin
More about Sodium hyaluronate crosspolymerOne of the best moisturizing ingredients. Attracts water into the upper layer of the skin
More about Sodium hyaluronateA plant oil that might help neutralize free radicals, but evidence of effectiveness in skin is lacking
More about Euterpe oleracea fruit oilA plant oil that works as a good moisturizer by softening the upper layer of the skin. Might be helpful in reducing inflammation in skin and reducing blemishes due to the large content of linoleic acid
More about Plukenetia volubilis seed oilHelps to soften the upper layer of the skin and might have some anti-oxidant effect
More about Mangifera indica seed butterA plant oil that can help soften the upper layer of the skin. Might be helpful in calming down inflammation in skin

More about SqualaneA more stable but less bio-available form of vitamin E compared to Tocopherol. Might help moisturize and protect the skin from free radicals, but mostly used in low concentrations to stabilize other ingredients.
More about Tocopheryl acetateA polyhydroxy acid (PHA) that helps shed the dead cells from the skin surface revealing smoother skin. Is believed to be genter than AHAs. It helps attract water to the upper layer of the skin and can stimulate production of skin's own hyaluronic acid resulting in improved hydration levels. It has been shown to be helpful against acne and clogged pores if used consistently (e.g over a period of 12 weeks) in high enough concentration. It can help reduce fine lines and wrinkles and improve skin tone with long-term application. Can help neutralize free radicals
More about GluconolactoneUsed to create a gel-like product texture, as well as to stabilize emulsions
