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).

glycerin 4% - 4.9%

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

vitis vinifera fruit extract 0.8% - 1.2%

Irritation risk:

Concentration: Effectiveness: MEDIUM

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

lauroyl lysine 0.3% - 0.55%

Irritation risk:

Concentration: Effectiveness: MEDIUM

Helps soften the upper layer of the skin and creates a nice product texture

What does the product description say?

morus bombycis root extract 0.25% - 0.45%

Irritation risk:

Concentration: Insufficient!

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.
