“Melting easily into skin, the rich and velvety balm is infused with a blend of Beeswax, Coconut Oil and Sweet Almond Oil to replenish moisture and help to improve elasticity.”
This product can help soften the skin and reduce its moisture loss with emollients and occlusives: cocos nucifera 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).
