“Le Petit Marseillais Extra-Gentle Shower Gel Pear Organic 250ml is a shower gel with neutral p H that moisturises and refreshes, while leaving on the skin a pear fragrance.Dye free.Tested under dermatological control.92% of ingredients of natural origin.”
This product contains good ingredients to attract water to the upper layer of the skin. These ingredients are called "humectants": glycerin, pyrus communis fruit extract.
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. If the air is dry, humectants can speed up the moisture loss from the skin. This is why it is a good idea to use another product on top of this one to help "seal in" the moisture (look for ingredients like dimethicone, squalane, oils and butters).
