JAPANORGANIC Do Organic Body Emulsion Mellow Blossom
Works for
CleansingCetearyl alcohol, Cera alba + 3 moreCleanses gently
“The brand's unique grain moisturizing ingredient, seaweed-derived extract, ceramide, and licorice root-derived extract are blended to clean and firm the skin of the body you care about, making it firm and beautiful.”
This product works by removing dirt and oil from the surface of the skin. It uses a combination of mild cleansing agents (arachidyl glucoside, cera alba, cetearyl alcohol, polyglyceryl-10 laurate, xanthan gum) and should be able to cleanse the skin gently. Still keep in mind that any cleansing can disrupt the skin barrier, and most people do not need to cleanse their skin more than once per day.

Product summary
Based on the ingredient list, "JAPANORGANIC - Do Organic Body Emulsion Mellow Blossom" can work well for skin moisturization. The formulation is based on a combination of good humectants and emollients. Both are needed to increase the skin hydration level. Humectants in this product (glycerin and glucose) help to increase the water content in the upper layer of the skin. (These ingredients do so by "capturing" water molecules from the outside air or from within the deeper layers of the skin). Ceramide np, caprylic/capric triglyceride, cetearyl alcohol, oryza sativa germ oil and arachidyl alcohol in this product help decrease the water evoporation from the skin, so that it stays hydrated for longer. These ingredients also soften the skin and take away the feeling of tightness and dryness.
Ingredient callouts
- As a plus, this moisturizer also contains Ceramides (ceramide ap 0.30% - 0.60% and ceramide np 0.45% - 0.65%). Ceramides are a type of lipids that our skin produces itself. They are a building block of the skin's barrier. Ceramides used in skincare are synthetic or extracted from plants. They work well for softening the skin surface and "patch holes" in the skin's barrier.
