Product Summary

Based on the ingredients included, "OSKIA - Rest Day Barrier Repair Balm" works well for moisturizing the skin. To work well, any moisturizer needs to include a combination of water-binding and emollient ingredients. OSKIA - Rest Day Barrier Repair Balm ticks this box. Panthenol, alanine, arginine, avena sativa kernel flour and betaine 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 (avena sativa kernel flour, helianthus annuus seed oil unsaponifiables, oenothera biennis oil, arginine and chondrus crispus extract) help to reduce the moisture loss from the skin. They also soften the skin surface and relieve the feeling of dryness and tightness.

This product contains ingredients that could be beneficial, but their concentrations are too low in this formulation: gluconolactone, vitamin e, allantoin, oatmeal extract, butyrospermum parkii butter and caprylic/capric triglyceride
