Benefits
Promise: Moisturizing
What does the product description say?
Coconut conditions, Chamomile calms and Sea Buckthorn hydrates the skin.
This product can help improve hydration of the skin with the two types of ingredients.
The first type is called “humectants”:
these ingredients help attract water.
When humectants are on the surface of the skin, they “pull in” the moisture from the outside environment, or from
within deeper layers of the skin. The following ingredients in this product do the job:
arginine, glycerin.
This product also contains ingredients called “occlusives”. They help reduce the speed with which our skin loses moisture to the outside environment. These ingredients also help soften the upper layer of the skin, so it feels less tight and nicer to the touch. The following ingredients in this product do the job: arginine, helianthus annuus seed oil.
| Ingredient | Effectiveness | Concentration | Irritancy |
|---|---|---|---|
| simmondsia chinensis seed oil | HIGH |  |  |
| sodium hyaluronate | HIGH | | |
| centella asiatica extract | HIGH | | |

Other benefit: Anti-aging
This product contains centella asiatica extract. This ingredient might be able to help reduce and prevent fine lines and wrinkles, improve skin elasticity and firmness, but there is not enough evidence that it actually works.
| Ingredient | Effectiveness | Concentration | Irritancy |
|---|---|---|---|
| centella asiatica extract | MEDIUM | | |
| camellia sinensis leaf extract | LOW | | |
| limnanthes alba seed oil | LOW | | |

Other benefit: Anti-oxidation
This product contains antioxidants (camellia sinensis leaf extract, centella asiatica extract) 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.
| Ingredient | Effectiveness | Concentration | Irritancy |
|---|---|---|---|
| camellia sinensis leaf extract | MEDIUM | | |
| centella asiatica extract | MEDIUM | | |
| rose flower oil | LOW | | |
