What does the product description say?
Original Hydrating Herbal Hand Creme
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, caprylyl glycol.
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: butyrospermum parkii butter, cocos nucifera oil.
| Ingredient | Effectiveness | Concentration | Irritancy |
|---|---|---|---|
| butyrospermum parkii butter | HIGH |  |  |
| glycerin | HIGH | | |
| cannabis sativa seed oil | HIGH | | |

However, in many cosmetic formulations, it is used in a concentration that is too low to have the full effect | |
