MediFlower Calming Bouncy Stick Balm

Judging from the ingredient list, "MediFlower - Calming Bouncy Stick Balm" works well for improving skin hydration This moisturizer uses a good combo of humectants and emollients. These both types of ingredients are essentials for improving the skin hydration and keeping the skin barrier healthy. Humectants in this product (glycerin, saccharide hydrolysate and butylene glycol) help to increase the water content in the upper layer of the skin. (These ingredients do so by "capturing" water molecules from the outside air or from within the deeper layers of the skin). Dicaprylyl carbonate, glyceryl caprylate, moringa oleifera seed oil, stearyl heptanoate and isodecyl neopentanoate in this product help decrease the water evoporation from the skin, so that it stays hydrated for longer. These ingredients also soften the skin and take away the feeling of tightness and dryness.
