Product summary

Based on the ingredient list, "Haruharu - Buy Haruharu Black Bamboo Nourishing Calming Hand Nail Cream Australia - Korean Skin Care" can work well for skin moisturization. The formulation is based on a combination of good humectants and emollients. Both are needed to increase the skin hydration level. Humectants in this product (panthenol, glycerin and butylene glycol) 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). Emollients in this formulation (astrocaryum murumuru seed butter, cocos nucifera oil, cetyl alcohol, ethylhexyl palmitate and glyceryl stearate) help to reduce the moisture loss from the skin. They also soften the skin surface and relieve the feeling of dryness and tightness.

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