MoisturizingHelianthus annuus seed oil, Prunus armeniaca kernel oil + 3 moreGood evidence
“Skin-nourishing plant oils, including olive, apricot kernel, sweet almond and sunflower, work to leave the body feeling soft, supple and comforted after every bath.”
This product can help soften the skin and reduce its moisture loss with emollients and occlusives: helianthus annuus seed oil, prunus armeniaca kernel oil.
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).
