“Fortified with a nourishing blend of Sunflower, Jojoba and Sesame Oils, the non-greasy balm creates a lightweight veil over skin; it smooths and conditions the body whilst its patented blend of six antioxidants (Pomegranate, Goji Berry, Grape Seed and Green, Red and White Tea) protects from environmental aggressors and signs of premature aging.”
This product contains vitis vinifera seed extract. This ingredient might be able to help reduce and prevent fine lines and wrinkles, improve skin elasticity and firmness, but there is not enough evidence that it actually works.
“Restore sumptuously soft with June Jacobs Papaya Body Balm ; a luxurious moisturizer infused with Shea Butter and Papaya Extract to replenish and hydrate from top to toe.”
This product can help improve hydration of the skin with the two types of ingredients.
The first type is called “humectants”:
these ingredients help attract water.
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. The following ingredients in this product do the job:
glycerin, butylene glycol.
This product also contains ingredients called “occlusives”. They help reduce the speed with which our skin loses moisture to the outside environment. These ingredients also help soften the upper layer of the skin, so it feels less tight and nicer to the touch. The following ingredients in this product do the job: dimethicone, helianthus annuus seed oil.
This product contains antioxidants (camellia oleifera leaf extract, vitis vinifera seed extract) that can help neutralize free radicals in skin. By doing so, they can lessen the damage the skin gets from the UV light (sun).
The following ingredients - punica granatum extract also can have an antioxidant effect, but there is less evidence to confirm their effectiveness in skin.

More about Cetyl palmitateA preservative that comes from radishes fermented by a bacteria.

Is problematic because the exact amount of the preservative agents is difficult to determine
