“This silky yet lightweight body oil is infused with skin-mimicking lipids and ceramide-rich floral oils that absorb easily to nourish and hydrate the skin.”

The following ingredients in this product are especially good for supporting the skin barrier and helping with the hydration level: linoleic acid

The following ingredients - haematococcus pluvialis extract also can have an antioxidant effect, but there is less evidence to confirm their effectiveness in skin.
Anti-agingNot advertised by the brand · 4 ingredients credited for this claimModerate support
