Moisturizing
What does the product description say?
Hands are soft, supple, protected and moisturized. Clinically tested.
Source: Cocoon Center
This product contains good ingredients to attract water to the upper layer of the skin. These ingredients are called "humectants": glycerin, butylene glycol.
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. If the air is dry, humectants can speed up the moisture loss from the skin. This is why it is a good idea to use another product on top of this one to help "seal in" the moisture (look for ingredients like dimethicone, squalane, oils and butters).
One of the best moisturizing ingredients. Naturally present in skin. It attracts water to the upper layer of the skin working as a humectant
A plant extract that helps attract water to the upper layer of the skin. It might be helpful in neutralizing free radicals in skin, but is less potent than the extract from the seeds
Helps soften the upper layer of the skin and creates a nice product texture
A non-drying alcohol that works to soften the skin and stabilize product formulations helping oil and water mix together
A plant extract that might contain a compound baicalin that could be helpful in neutralizing free radicals and reducing inflammation in skin. The baicalin concentration in skincare products is often too low for an effective action. Can be used for its fragrant properties
Used to create a nice product texture and help delivery of other ingredients. Might be somewhat helpful in attracting water to the upper layer of the skin
An emollient that is naturally present in skin and helps soften it
An emollient that helps soften the skin and creates a thicker product texture
Helps oil and water mix together and works as an emollient
Anti-aging
What does the product description say?
Mavala Anti-Spot Cream for Hands 30ml with non greasy texture, delicately fragranced, reduces and prevents pigment spots that can appear with the age.

Effective ingredients missing or their concentration is too low.
Evens skin tone

Mavala Anti-Spot Cream for Hands 30ml with non greasy texture, delicately fragranced, reduces and prevents pigment spots that can appear with the age.

Effective ingredients missing or their concentration is too low
A plant extract that might contain arbutin, a compound that has skin-lightening properties. Might have some anti-oxidant activity. Is unlikely to be effective though in the concentrations typically used in skincare products
Exfoliation
What does the product description say?
The extract of its scrubbing agent and almond proteins allows to remove dead cells charged in melanin, bringing suppleness and radiance to hands.
Source: Cocoon Center
This product does not contain effective exfoliating ingredients. It might be able to deliver physical exfoliation, that is scrub off some of the dead cells on the surface of the skin. We do not recommend physical exfoliation, because it is not uniform (some bits of skin can get exfoliated too much while others not at all). It can also traumatize the skin and aggrevate acne and other skin conditions.
