MoisturizingCaprylic/capric triglyceride, Bis-diglyceryl polyacyladipate-2 + 7 moreWorks
“What it is: A lip balm that provides a perfect wash of color with nourishing ingredients like avocado oil and shea butter.”
This product can help soften the skin and reduce its moisture loss with emollients and occlusives: bis-diglyceryl polyacyladipate-2, butyrospermum parkii butter.
Keep in mind that this product does not contain effective ingredients to attract water to the upper layer of the skin. This is why an additional product with humectants like glycerin or hyaluronic acid can be helpful (apply it before this product for the best results).
