Product summary

"Pretty skin - Natural Hand Cream - 15 Types" has a good moisturizing formula. To work well, any moisturizer needs to include a combination of water-binding and emollient ingredients. Pretty skin - Natural Hand Cream - 15 Types ticks this box. Humectants in this product (panthenol, allantoin, cyclomethicone, glycerin and snail secretion filtrate) 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). Cyclomethicone, helianthus annuus extract, dimethicone, cetearyl alcohol and cyclopentasiloxane in this product help decrease the water evoporation from the skin, so that it stays hydrated for longer. These ingredients also soften the skin and take away the feeling of tightness and dryness.

Ingredient callouts

  • Panthenol (pro-vitamin B5) at about 0.85% - 1.25% concentration. In this concentration, Panthenol works effectively to improve the skin barrier and reduce inflammation.
  • In addition, this moisturizer contains Allantoin (1.70% - 2.60%). Allantoin is helpful in wound-healing and can help restore the skin barrier faster. It might also be able to improve scars, but the evidence is not very strong for this.
This product contains ingredients that could be beneficial, but their concentrations are too low in this formulation: stearic acid, butyrospermum parkii butter and lecithin
