“LITTLE URCHIN Natural Daily Moisturiser is specifically designed to hydrate, nourish and replenish your skin using a unique blend of organic and natural ingredients that are easily absorbed and non-greasy.”
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, caprylyl 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: caprylic/capric triglyceride, helianthus annuus seed oil.
Anti-agingNiacinamide ~0.3–0.7%Under-dosed
“Formulated for daily and after-sun use with skin-loving Avocado Oil, Aloe Vera, Cucumber and Marine Algae, our moisturiser also contains antioxidant rich super-berries to provide powerful and long-lasting hydration and anti-ageing benefits.”
