Pixi +C Vit Priming Oil

The formulation is based on a combination of good humectants and emollients. Both are needed to increase the skin hydration level. 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 (dimethicone, helianthus annuus seed oil, squalane, canola oil and octyldodecanol) 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

• This product also contains vitamin C (Ascorbic Acid). It can be an effective active for anti-aging and evening out the skin tone, but in "Pixi - +C Vit Priming Oil" it is used for stabilizing other ingredients in the formulation. In this concentration (1.20% - 1.90%) it cannot have a noticeable benefit for the skin.
