Product summary

Judging from the ingredient list, "Hawaiian Tropic - Silk Hydration After Sun Ultra Hydrating Lotion & Soothing Aloe Gel Coconut Papaya" works well for improving skin hydration To work well, any moisturizer needs to include a combination of water-binding and emollient ingredients. Hawaiian Tropic - Silk Hydration After Sun Ultra Hydrating Lotion & Soothing Aloe Gel Coconut Papaya ticks this box. Humectants in this product (panthenol, glycerin and glyceryl acrylate/acrylic acid copolymer) 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 (theobroma cacao seed butter, dimethicone and ethylhexyl palmitate) 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: butyrospermum parkii butter and sodium ascorbyl phosphate
