“Take a moment to yourself and smooth on the Basil Face Lotion (60ml), a lightweight, melting formula that nourishes, soothes and hydrates.”
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: butyrospermum parkii butter, dimethicone.
ExfoliationNo ingredient credited for this claimNot delivered
“The addition of shea butter brings deeply moisturising, nourishing properties, while AHA-rich apple extract works to gently exfoliate away dead skin cells and refine skin texture.”
This product does not contain effective exfoliating ingredients. It might be able to deliver physical exfoliation, that is scrub off some of the dead cells on the surface of the skin. We do not recommend physical exfoliation, because it is not uniform (some bits of skin can get exfoliated too much while others not at all). It can also traumatize the skin and aggrevate acne and other skin conditions.
Anti-blemishNo ingredient credited for this claimNot delivered
“Formulated with chamomile to help lessen the look of redness and breakouts due to its antibacterial properties, this hydration powerhouse also stars lemon verbena to tone and brighten for a refreshed-looking complexion.”
Effective ingredients missing or their concentration is too low.
