What the product description says
“A sub-acidic body lotion delivers intense moisture and nourishment to the skin wih EWG Green Grade ingredients.”
Source: Yesstyle

This product can help improve hydration of the skin with the two types of ingredients.

The first type is called “humectants”:
these ingredients help attract water. 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. The following ingredients in this product do the job: betaine, glycerin.

This product also contains ingredients called “occlusives”. They help reduce the speed with which our skin loses moisture to the outside environment. These ingredients also help soften the upper layer of the skin, so it feels less tight and nicer to the touch. The following ingredients in this product do the job: helianthus annuus seed oil, squalene.

The following ingredients in this product are especially good for supporting the skin barrier and helping with the hydration level: ceramide np, panthenol

Ingredient callouts

  • Ceramides (ceramide np 0.25% - 0.50%). Ceramides are a type of lipids that our skin produces itself. They are a building block of the skin's barrier. Ceramides used in skincare are synthetic or extracted from plants. They work well for softening the skin surface and "patch holes" in the skin's barrier.
  • Humectants (betaine 0.20% - 0.40%, hydrolyzed hyaluronic acid 0.20% - 0.40%, sodium acetylated hyaluronate 0.20% - 0.40%, sodium hyaluronate crosspolymer 0.20% - 0.40%, sodium hyaluronate 0.20% - 0.40% and glycerin 5.10% - 6.30%). These ingredients help attract water to the upper layer of the skin and improve the skin hydration.
