Product summary

Based on the ingredient list, "NATURE REPUBLIC - Hand & Nature Hand Cream - 23 Types" can work well for skin moisturization. To work well, any moisturizer needs to include a combination of water-binding and emollient ingredients. NATURE REPUBLIC - Hand & Nature Hand Cream - 23 Types ticks this box. Humectants in this product (algae extract, allantoin, fructooligosaccharides, glycerin and hydrolyzed hyaluronic acid) help to increase the water content in the upper layer of the skin. (These ingredients do so by "capturing" water molecules from the outside air or from within the deeper layers of the skin). Ceramide np, algae extract, cholesterol, vinyl dimethicone and beeswax in this product help decrease the water evoporation from the skin, so that it stays hydrated for longer. These ingredients also soften the skin and take away the feeling of tightness and dryness.

Ingredient callouts

  • Another benefit is that this moisturizer contain ceramides (ceramide np 0.30% - 0.55%). Ceramides are an important part of our natural skin barrier. The Ceramides used in skincare are synthetic or come from plants. They help soften the skin and can help "fill the gaps" in the skin barrier, keeping the skin hydrated and resilient for longer.
  • In addition, this moisturizer contains Allantoin (3.00% - 3.70%). Allantoin is helpful in wound-healing and can help restore the skin barrier faster. It might also be able to improve scars, but the evidence is not very strong for this.
This product contains ingredients that could be beneficial, but their concentrations are too low in this formulation: caprylic/capric triglyceride, agran oil, stearic acid, butyrospermum parkii butter, dipotassium glycyrrhizate, lecithin and butyrospermum parkii butter
