Product summary

These both types of ingredients are essentials for improving the skin hydration and keeping the skin barrier healthy. Humectants in this product (sclerocarya birrea seed oil and caprylyl glycol) help to increase the water content in the upper layer of the skin. (These ingredients do so by "capturing" water molecules from the outside air or from within the deeper layers of the skin). Emollients in this formulation (paraffinum liquidum, sclerocarya birrea seed oil and caprylyl glycol) help to reduce the moisture loss from the skin. They also soften the skin surface and relieve the feeling of dryness and tightness.
