MoisturizingCocos nucifera oil, Helianthus annuus seed oil + 5 moreWorks
“A unique, fast-absorbing oil, it also helps to strengthen the skin's moisture barrier, improving skin hydration and the look of skin firmness and elasticity, evening skin tone, and helping to reduce the appearance of lines and wrinkles.”
This product can help soften the skin and reduce its moisture loss with emollients and occlusives: caprylic/capric triglyceride, cocos nucifera oil.
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).
