MoisturizingHydrogenated poly(c6-14 olefin), Glycine soja oil + 4 moreWorks
“Formulated with green tea extracts from Jeju Island, the Green Tea Balancing Lotion is rich in nutrients and minerals to ensure that your skin is nourished.”
This product can help soften the skin and reduce its moisture loss with emollients and occlusives: glycine soja oil, hydrogenated poly(c6-14 olefin).
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).

Can contain potent anti-oxidant compounds (abbreviated ECG, GCG, EGC, and EGCG) that might help protect the skin from free radicals. Can help calm down inflammation and has some anti-bacterial properties. Unfortunately, these antioxidants are unstable and lose their effectiveness very quickly in products. The concentration of the antioxidant compounds in the extract also tends to be low to be effective in topical formulation
