Source: From product name

Concentration: Effectiveness: MEDIUM

Helps to soften the upper layer of the skin and attract water to it

honey 1.1% - 1.6%

Irritation risk:

aloe barbadensis leaf juice powder 0.4% - 0.9%

Traditionally used to treat sunburns, dermatitis and inflammation, but evidence for its effectiveness is lacking. The extract can contain humectants that help attract water into the skin
