Product Summary
Based on the ingredient list, "Lotus Moon Skin Care - Hibiscus Flower Hydrating Lotion" can work well for skin moisturization. To work well, any moisturizer needs to include a combination of water-binding and emollient ingredients. Lotus Moon Skin Care - Hibiscus Flower Hydrating Lotion ticks this box. Humectants in this product (panthenol, glycerin, hyaluronic acid, sodium hyaluronate and aloe barbadensis leaf juice) help to increase the water content in the upper layer of the skin. (These ingredients do so by "capturing" water molecules from the outside air or from within the deeper layers of the skin). Cocos nucifera oil, simmondsia chinensis seed oil, glyceryl caprylate and stearic acid in this product help decrease the water evoporation from the skin, so that it stays hydrated for longer. These ingredients also soften the skin and take away the feeling of tightness and dryness.
