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 1.6% - 2.4%

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

olea europaea fruit oil 2.1% - 3.1%

Irritation risk:

Concentration: Effectiveness: MEDIUM

An emollient that helps soften the skin but is not effective for restoring its barrier function. Might be helpful to calm down inflammation

butyrospermum parkii butter 0.85% - 1.3%

Irritation risk: Comedogenicity: High

Concentration: Insufficient!

A great moisturising ingredient that softens the skin and reduces water loss from its upper layer. It also can be helpful in protecting skin from free radicals

Exfoliation

What does the product description say?

This luxurious soap is enriched with sea salt, rice powder and shea butter, making it ideal for exfoliating and replenishing your skin.

Source: SmallFlower

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.
