Product summary

Based on the ingredients included, "Mad Hippie - Ultra-Rich Barrier Cream" works well for moisturizing the skin. This moisturizer uses a good combo of humectants and emollients. These both types of ingredients are essentials for improving the skin hydration and keeping the skin barrier healthy. Glycerin, hyaluronic acid, polyglutamic acid, sodium hyaluronate and glucosyl hesperidin in this product (humectants) attract water molecules to the upper layer of the skin (the water comes from the outside air or from the deeper layers of the skin if the air is dry). Emollients in this formulation (lanolin, theobroma cacao seed butter, butyrospermum parkii butter, squalane and cetearyl alcohol) help to reduce the moisture loss from the skin. They also soften the skin surface and relieve the feeling of dryness and tightness.

This product contains ingredients that could be beneficial, but their concentrations are too low in this formulation: sodium ascorbyl phosphate, butyrospermum parkii butter, niacinamide and caprylic/capric triglyceride
