Jo Loves A Hand Lotion

"Jo Loves - A Hand Lotion" has a good moisturizing formula. The formulation is based on a combination of good humectants and emollients. Both are needed to increase the skin hydration level. 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, vitis vinifera seed oil, dimethicone, cetearyl alcohol and prunus amygdalus dulcis oil) 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

• This formulation also includes panthenol (pro-vitamin B5) at about 0.85% - 1.25% concentration. In this concentration, panthenol works effectively to improve the skin barrier and reduce inflammation.
