MoisturizingHelianthus annuus seed oil, Glycerin + 4 moreWorks
“Pur Aloé Organic Shaving Cream with Aloe Vera 50% 100ml is a cream based on Organic Native aloe vera (from the pulp, made without powder) from Fair Trade, Organic sunflower oil, Organic essential oil of spruce, vitamin E. Aloe vera hydrates, softens and protects.”
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, aloe barbadensis leaf juice.
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: helianthus annuus seed oil, palmitic acid.
