Product summary

Judging from the ingredient list, "MALIN + GOETZ - Vitamin b5 Hand Treatment Almond" works well for improving skin hydration To work well, any moisturizer needs to include a combination of water-binding and emollient ingredients. MALIN + GOETZ - Vitamin b5 Hand Treatment Almond ticks this box. Panthenol, glycerin, sodium pca, butylene glycol and caprylyl glycol 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 (dimethicone, cetearyl alcohol, cetyl alcohol, tricaprylin and caprylyl glycol) help to reduce the moisture loss from the skin. They also soften the skin surface and relieve the feeling of dryness and tightness.
