ISANA Body Cream Shea Cocoa

Based on the ingredients included, "ISANA - Body Cream Shea Cocoa" works well for moisturizing the skin. As we expect from a proper moisturizer, the formula includes a combo of effective humectants and emollients. These are the two different types of ingredients that are essential for improving the skin hydration and supporting a healthy skin barrier. Panthenol and glycerin in this product (humectants) attract water molecules to the upper layer of the skin (the water comes from the outside air or from the deeper layers of the skin if the air is dry). Emollients in this formulation (theobroma cacao seed butter, butyrospermum parkii butter, cocos nucifera oil, cetearyl alcohol and copernicia cerifera cera) help to reduce the moisture loss from the skin. They also soften the skin surface and relieve the feeling of dryness and tightness.

Ingredient callouts

• An effective concentration of Panthenol (pro-vitamin B5) - about 1.00% - 1.45%. Panthenol helps strengthen the skin barrier, improve hydration and reduce inflammation in skin.
