"Neighbourhood Botanicals - Mild Mannered Lotion" is a well-rounded moisturizing product. To work well, any moisturizer needs to include a combination of water-binding and emollient ingredients. Neighbourhood Botanicals - Mild Mannered Lotion ticks this box. Panthenol, betaine, glycerin, pantolactone and aloe barbadensis leaf juice in this product (humectants) attract water molecules to the upper layer of the skin (the water comes from the outside air or from the deeper layers of the skin if the air is dry). Helianthus annuus seed oil, simmondsia chinensis seed oil, cetearyl alcohol, cetyl alcohol and glyceryl stearate 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.
