“A natural nutrient rich daily facial moisturiser crafted with Avocado, Macadamia and Passionfruit Seed Oils to smooth, nourish without irritation and help correct skin-ageing free radicals”
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.
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: squalene, persea gratissima oil.
Anti-oxidationSide benefit · Squalene, Undaria pinnatifida extractMay help
This product contains antioxidants (squalene) that can help neutralize free radicals in skin to lessen the damage it gets from the UV light (sun). There is some human evidence for this effect in skin, though it is smaller or less consistent than the evidence for the best antioxidants.
