Lumene - Arctic Hydra Care [Arktis] Moisture & Relief Rich Lip Cream ticks this box. Humectants in this product (betaine, glycerin, hydrolyzed hyaluronic acid and saccharide isomerate) 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). Emollients in this formulation (ceramide eop, ceramide np, phytosphingosine, cholesterol and oleyl erucate) help to reduce the moisture loss from the skin. They also soften the skin surface and relieve the feeling of dryness and tightness.
