Product summary
"NATURE REPUBLIC - Herbology Lavender Foot Cream" is a well-rounded moisturizing product. The formulation is based on a combination of good humectants and emollients. Both are needed to increase the skin hydration level. Humectants in this product (urea and betaine) 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). Emollients in this formulation (vinyl dimethicone, butyrospermum parkii butter, dimethiconol, cetearyl alcohol and diisostearyl malate) help to reduce the moisture loss from the skin. They also soften the skin surface and relieve the feeling of dryness and tightness.
This product contains ingredients that could be beneficial, but their concentrations are too low in this formulation: caprylic/capric triglyceride and vitamin e

moisture to the outside environment. These ingredients also help soften the upper layer of the skin, so it feels

butyrospermum parkii butter, dimethiconol.
