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.

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: persea gratissima oil, olea europaea fruit oil.

glycerin 3.2% - 4.8%

Irritation risk:

Concentration: Effectiveness: HIGH

One of the best moisturizing ingredients. Naturally present in skin. It attracts water to the upper layer of the skin working as a humectant

persea gratissima oil 2.3% - 3.4%

Irritation risk:

Concentration: Effectiveness: HIGH

An emollient that helps soften the skin and could be helpful in repairing its barrier function

olea europaea fruit oil 1.3% - 2%

Irritation risk:

Concentration: Effectiveness: MEDIUM

An emollient that helps soften the skin but is not effective for restoring its barrier function. Might be helpful to calm down inflammation
