“Replenish dry hands with the L. A BRUKET Grapefruit Leaf Hand Cream ; a natural moisturiser for the hands, nails and cuticles that repairs dry and chapped skin.”
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:
allantoin, betaine.
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: cocos nucifera oil, limnanthes alba seed oil.
Anti-aging2 ingredients credited for this claimWeak support
“Enveloping hands with its fresh, bittersweet citrus scent of Grapefruit Leaf, the hand cream utilizes Shea Butter, Coconut oil and Meadowfoam oil to deeply hydrate and protect skin from external stressors and counteract signs of aging.”

ExfoliationNot advertised by the brand · 2 ingredients credited for this claimStrong support
This product can help exfoliate the skin. In other words, it helps break down the bonds between dead cells on the surface of the skin and speed up the skin turnover. Skin often appears softer and brighter after exfoliation, but overdoing it can result in disrupted skin barrier. The following ingredient is doing the exfoliating job in this product: salicylic acid.
