Promise: Moisturizing
What does the product description say?
The paste uses a botanical blend of plant extracts, including Wild Plum and Bilberry, to clarify your complexion, repairing the skin’s natural moisture barrier to lock in hydration.
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: butyrospermum parkii butter, helianthus annuus seed oil.
| Ingredient | Effectiveness | Concentration | Irritancy |
|---|---|---|---|
| borago officinalis seed oil | HIGH | | |
| butyrospermum parkii butter | HIGH | | |
| glycerin | HIGH | | |
