Moisturizing

This product contains good ingredients to attract water to the upper layer of the skin. These ingredients are called "humectants": lactobacillus ferment, butylene glycol.

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. If the air is dry, humectants can speed up the moisture loss from the skin. This is why it is a good idea to use another product on top of this one to help "seal in" the moisture (look for ingredients like dimethicone, squalane, oils and butters).

lactobacillus ferment 0.45% - 1.05%

Irritation risk:

Concentration: Effectiveness: HIGH

A fermentation product created by bacteria Lactobacillus. The fermented product has anti-bacterial properties and might be helpful in calming down inflammation, but studies are lacking. Helps attract water to the upper layer of the skin. Can be used as a preservative

butylene glycol 2.6% - 3.9%

Irritation risk:

Concentration: Effectiveness: LOW

Used to create a nice product texture and help delivery of other ingredients. Might be somewhat helpful in attracting water to the upper layer of the skin

caprylyl glycol 0.05% - 0.3%

Concentration: Effectiveness: LOW

Helps preserve products and creates a nice product texture
