Polaar IceSource Moisturising Cream with Iceberg Water

"Polaar - IceSource Moisturising Cream with Iceberg Water" is a well-rounded moisturizing product. To work well, any moisturizer needs to include a combination of water-binding and emollient ingredients. Polaar - IceSource Moisturising Cream with Iceberg Water ticks this box. Panthenol, glycerin, saccharide isomerate, sodium hyaluronate and butylene glycol 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, caprylyl glycol and glyceryl caprylate) help to reduce the moisture loss from the skin. They also soften the skin surface and relieve the feeling of dryness and tightness.
