Based on the ingredient list, "Hipp - Baby Milk Lotion Sensitive" can work well for skin moisturization. To work well, any moisturizer needs to include a combination of water-binding and emollient ingredients. Hipp - Baby Milk Lotion Sensitive ticks this box. Humectants in this product (panthenol, glycerin and caprylyl glycol) 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). Helianthus annuus hybrid oil, butyrospermum parkii butter, cetyl alcohol, diethylhexyl carbonate and prunus amygdalus dulcis oil in this product help decrease the water evoporation from the skin, so that it stays hydrated for longer. These ingredients also soften the skin and take away the feeling of tightness and dryness.

Ingredient callouts

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, helianthus annuus hybrid oil.

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