Works for
MoisturizingOlea europaea fruit oil, Argania spinosa kernel oil + 6 moreWorks
“The velvety base includes shea butter, coconut oil, olive oil, beeswax, and mango nut butter to deeply moisturize while preventing future moisture loss.”
This product can help soften the skin and reduce its moisture loss with emollients and occlusives: beeswax, butyrospermum parkii butter.
Keep in mind that this product does not contain effective ingredients to attract water to the upper layer of the skin. This is why an additional product with humectants like glycerin or hyaluronic acid can be helpful (apply it before this product for the best results).
