MGC Derma Botanical Blend Deep Replenish Cream

Based on the ingredients included, "MGC Derma - Botanical Blend Deep Replenish Cream" works well for moisturizing the skin. To work well, any moisturizer needs to include a combination of water-binding and emollient ingredients. MGC Derma - Botanical Blend Deep Replenish Cream ticks this box. Urea and glycerin 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 (isopropyl myristate, cetearyl alcohol, cetyl alcohol, coco-caprylate and hydrogenated vegetable oil) help to reduce the moisture loss from the skin. They also soften the skin surface and relieve the feeling of dryness and tightness.

Ingredient callouts

• We are excited that this moisturizer contains Cannabidiol, or CBD (0.55% - 1.25%). CBD is a new active in cosmetic products, and the studies on its effect in skin are still going on. CBD is one of the compouns in the cannabis plant. It does not have any psychotropic effects. When used topically, CBD can bind to skin cell receptors and "change their behaviour". It can help reduce inflammation, itching, and help support skin barrier function. It also might be able to reduce acne.
