Moisturizing

Works well

This product can help improve hydration of the skin with the two types of ingredients.

The first type is called “humectants”:
these ingredients help attract water. When humectants are on the surface of the skin, they “pull in” the moisture from the outside environment, or from within deeper layers of the skin. The following ingredients in this product do the job: algae extract, glycerin.

This product also contains ingredients called “occlusives”. They help reduce the speed with which our skin loses moisture to the outside environment. These ingredients also help soften the upper layer of the skin, so it feels less tight and nicer to the touch. The following ingredients in this product do the job: caprylic/capric triglyceride, algae extract.

The following ingredients in this product are especially good for supporting the skin barrier and helping with the hydration level: palmitoyl tripeptide-38

GlycerinEffect: HighOne of the best moisturizing ingredients. Naturally present in skin. It attracts water to the upper layer of the skin working as a humectant~4.4–6.6%
Caprylic/capric triglycerideEffect: HighA good mix of fatty acids that forms a protective layer on the skin. Improves the shelf life of products. Derived from coconut and glycerin~2.8–4.2%
Leontopodium alpinum callus culture extractEffect: MediumA plant stem cell extract that might help neutralize free radicals and reduce inflammation in skin~1.7–2.5%
Hydrolyzed vegetable proteinEffect: Medium~1.1–1.6%
Sodium hyaluronateEffect: HighOne of the best moisturizing ingredients. Attracts water into the upper layer of the skin~0.85–1.3%
Hydroxypropyl cyclodextrinEffect: LowUsed to stabilize product formulations and help soften the upper layer of the skin~0.55–1.3%
Palmitoyl tripeptide-38Effect: HighA type of peptide. Peptides are excellent moisturizers and might be able support collagen production reducing fine lines and wrinkles~0.4–1%
Vitis vinifera seed oilEffect: HighA great emollient that can also have anti-oxidant properties~0.2–0.8%
