Mara Beauty Algae + Moringa Sea Sculpt Body Oil
Works for
MoisturizingHelianthus annuus seed oil, Squalane + 7 moreWorks
“This lightweight, non-greasy formula delivers long-lasting moisture and a cashmere-soft finish, to sculpt your curves to look and feel like your body, but better.”
This product can help soften the skin and reduce its moisture loss with emollients and occlusives: caprylic/capric triglyceride, helianthus annuus seed oil.
Keep in mind that this product does not contain effective ingredients to attract water to the upper layer of the skin. This is why an additional product with humectants like glycerin or hyaluronic acid can be helpful (apply it before this product for the best results).

“It's a pregnancy-safe, vegan, non-comedogenic oil that that targets visible signs of aging and leaves a healthy-looking, luxurious glow.”
