Honeyskin Organics Skin and Hair Peppermint Honey Moisturizing Face and Body Cream

Based on the ingredients included, "Honeyskin Organics Skin and Hair - Peppermint Honey Moisturizing Face and Body Cream" works well for moisturizing the skin. To work well, any moisturizer needs to include a combination of water-binding and emollient ingredients. Honeyskin Organics Skin and Hair - Peppermint Honey Moisturizing Face and Body Cream ticks this box. Humectants in this product (panthenol, glycerin, sodium hyaluronate, honey and aloe barbadensis extract) 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, caprylic/capric triglyceride, cocos nucifera oil and olea europaea fruit oil) 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 product also contains vitamin C (Ascorbic Acid). It can be an effective active for anti-aging and evening out the skin tone, but in this moisturizer it is used for stabilizing other ingredients in the formulation. In this concentration (0.20% - 0.70%) it cannot have a noticeable benefit for the skin.
• This formulation also uses an effective concentration of panthenol (pro-vitamin B5) - about 0.35% - 0.80%. Panthenol helps strengthen the skin barrier, improve hydration and reduce inflammation in skin.
