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

Silk Hydration After Sun Ultra Hydrating Lotion & Soothing Aloe Gel Coconut Papaya

Source: From product name

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: glycerin, glyceryl acrylate/acrylic acid copolymer.

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: dimethicone, theobroma cacao seed butter.

The following ingredients in this product are especially good for supporting the skin barrier and helping with the hydration level: panthenol
