Product Summary
Judging from the ingredient list, "Orbis - Dry Skin Cream For Body" works well for improving skin hydration To work well, any moisturizer needs to include a combination of water-binding and emollient ingredients. Orbis - Dry Skin Cream For Body ticks this box. Betaine, glycerin, hyaluronic acid and butylene glycol 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). Emollients in this formulation (ceramide 1, dimethicone, squalane, cetyl palmitate and cetyl ethylhexanoate) help to reduce the moisture loss from the skin. They also soften the skin surface and relieve the feeling of dryness and tightness.
Ingredient callouts
- As a plus, this moisturizer also contains Ceramides (ceramide 1 0.35% - 0.80%). Ceramides are a type of lipids that our skin produces itself. They are a building block of the skin's barrier. Ceramides used in skincare are synthetic or extracted from plants. They work well for softening the skin surface and "patch holes" in the skin's barrier.
