MoisturizingPrunus amygdalus dulcis seed, Isopropyl myristate + 14 moreWorks
“Huxley's signature scented vegan body oil that richly moisturizes and locks in hydration, leaving skin soft and smooth with a soft musky scent.”
This product can help soften the skin and reduce its moisture loss with emollients and occlusives: caprylic/capric triglyceride, helianthus annuus seed oil.
Keep in mind that this product does not contain effective ingredients to attract water to the upper layer of the skin. This is why an additional product with humectants like glycerin or hyaluronic acid can be helpful (apply it before this product for the best results).
Anti-oxidationSide benefit · Tocopheryl linoleate, Bisabolol + 4 moreMay help
This product contains antioxidants (tocopheryl linoleate) 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.
