MoisturizingMangifera indica seed butter, Simmondsia chinensis seed oil + 4 moreGood evidence
“You’ll notice immediate comforting hydration that lasts, protecting your all-new supple finish while improving the appearance of lines.”
This product can help soften the skin and reduce its moisture loss with emollients and occlusives: simmondsia chinensis seed oil, diisostearyl malate.
