“This lightweight body moisturiser absorbs quickly into the skin to deliver essential nutrients and hydration.”
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: butyrospermum parkii butter, argania spinosa kernel oil.

“Perfect for post-bathing, here's what makes this all-over moisturiser so special: an infusion of anti-inflammatory petitgrain helps to calm troubled skin and irritation, as it uplifts your spirit and relieves mental anguish; rose damascene helps to promote skin regeneration and reduce scar tissue; antioxidant rose geranium helps to prevent age spots and dark marks; last but not least, ylang ylang lends the blend its balancing and hydrating benefits to promote a smooth, silken finish.”
