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).

glycerin 2.7% - 4%

Irritation risk:

Concentration: Effectiveness: HIGH

One of the best moisturizing ingredients. Naturally present in skin. It attracts water to the upper layer of the skin working as a humectant

rosa damascena flower oil 1.4% - 2%

Irritation risk:

Concentration: Effectiveness: LOW

Used as a fragrance. Can be irritating

aloe barbadensis leaf juice 1.2% - 1.8%

Irritation risk:

Concentration: Insufficient!

Traditionally used to treat sunburns, dermatitis and inflammation, but evidence for its effectiveness is lacking. The extract can contain humectants that help attract water into the skin

Anti-aging

What does the product description say?

Infused with Pure Rose Water, the tanning mist provides anti-ageing benefits, whilst vitamins and minerals hydrate, restore and rejuvenate skin.
