MoisturizingRicinus communis seed oil, Butyrospermum parkii butter + 7 moreWorks
“The portable, pocket-size lip balm soothes and moisturises cracked lips, whilst delivering a natural mint flavour for an instant burst of freshness.”
This product can help soften the skin and reduce its moisture loss with emollients and occlusives: butyrospermum parkii butter, cera alba.
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).
Anti-oxidationSide benefit · Vaccinium macrocarpon seed oil, Butyrospermum parkii butter + 3 moreMay help
This product contains antioxidants (vaccinium macrocarpon seed oil) that might be able to help neutralize free radicals in skin to lessen the damage it gets from the UV light (sun). There is not enough evidence to confirm their effectiveness in skin though.
