He-Shi Overnight Hyaluronic Tan Balm

Based on the ingredients included, "He-Shi - Overnight Hyaluronic Tan Balm" works well for moisturizing the skin. As we expect from a proper moisturizer, the formula includes a combo of effective humectants and emollients. These are the two different types of ingredients that are essential for improving the skin hydration and supporting a healthy skin barrier. Panthenol, sodium hyaluronate and butylene glycol in this product (humectants) attract water molecules to the upper layer of the skin (the water comes from the outside air or from the deeper layers of the skin if the air is dry). Emollients in this formulation (isopropyl myristate, caprylic/capric triglyceride, prunus amygdalus dulcis oil and c13-14 isoparaffin) help to reduce the moisture loss from the skin. They also soften the skin surface and relieve the feeling of dryness and tightness.

Ingredient callouts

• This formulation also includes panthenol (pro-vitamin B5) at about 0.50% - 1.20% concentration. In this concentration, panthenol works effectively to improve the skin barrier and reduce inflammation.
