“Nutricia Baume Lèvres offers nourishing and comforting care for the lips.”
This product can help soften the skin and reduce its moisture loss with emollients and occlusives: cera microcristallina, squalane.
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).
The following ingredients in this product are especially good for supporting the skin barrier and helping with the hydration level: paraffinum liquidum
Anti-oxidationSide benefit · Rubus idaeus seed oil, Limnanthes alba seed oil + 2 moreMay help
This product contains antioxidants (rubus idaeus seed oil) that might be able to help neutralize free radicals in skin to lessen the damage it gets from the UV light (sun). There is not enough evidence to confirm their effectiveness in skin though.
