Product summary

"haruharu US - Black Bamboo Nourishing Calming Hand & Nail Cream" has a good moisturizing formula. The formulation is based on a combination of good humectants and emollients. Both are needed to increase the skin hydration level.

Astrocaryum murumuru seed butter, cocos nucifera oil, cetyl alcohol, ethylhexyl palmitate and glyceryl stearate 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.

This product contains ingredients that could be beneficial, but their concentrations are too low in this formulation: stearic acid, allantoin and vitamin e
