Based on the ingredient list, "Nubian Heritage - Indian Hemp + Hatian Vetiver Lotion" can work well for skin moisturization. To work well, any moisturizer needs to include a combination of water-binding and emollient ingredients. Nubian Heritage - Indian Hemp + Hatian Vetiver Lotion ticks this box. Humectants in this product (glycerin) help to increase the water content in the upper layer of the skin. (These ingredients do so by "capturing" water molecules from the outside air or from within the deeper layers of the skin). Ceramide np, cannabis sativa seed oil, theobroma cacao seed butter, butyrospermum parkii butter and ricinus communis seed oil 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.
Ingredient callouts
- As a plus, this moisturizer also contains ceramides (ceramide np 2.60% - 3.90%). Ceramides are a type of lipids that our skin produces itself. They are a building block of the skin's barrier.
