Pre de Provence Shea Butter Hand Cut Soap
Works for
MoisturizingButyrospermum parkii butter, Glycerin + 1 moreWorks
“Shea butter is the ultimate therapy for dry skin -, It is nourishing, soothing, and healing and protects the skin from the elements.”
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:
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: butyrospermum parkii butter, helianthus annuus seed oil.
