MoisturizingTheobroma cacao seed butter, Cetyl alcohol + 4 moreWorks
“This formula enriched with Cocoa Butter is rich in fatty acids for a nourishing action on the skin and Vitamin E, a natural antioxidant with anti-inflammatory properties.”
This product can help soften the skin and reduce its moisture loss with emollients and occlusives: theobroma cacao seed butter, cetyl alcohol.
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).
