MoisturizingTriheptanoin, Glyceryl stearate se + 4 moreWorks
“Sweet almond oil lends its nutrient-dense benefits, nourishing your skin with moisturising vitamin E, protecting against free radicals with a sling of antioxidants and boosting your skin's barrier function with amino and fatty acids.”
This product can help soften the skin and reduce its moisture loss with emollients and occlusives: helianthus annuus seed oil, pentylene glycol.
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).
