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. If the air is dry, humectants can speed up the moisture loss from the skin. This is why it is a good idea to use another product on top of this one to help "seal in" the moisture (look for ingredients like dimethicone, squalane, oils and butters).

glycerin 2.8% - 4.3%

Irritation risk:

Concentration: Effectiveness: HIGH

One of the best moisturizing ingredients. Naturally present in skin. It attracts water to the upper layer of the skin working as a humectant

mangifera indica seed butter 4.4% - 6.6%

Irritation risk:

Concentration: Effectiveness: HIGH

Helps to soften the upper layer of the skin and might have some anti-oxidant effect

prunus amygdalus dulcis oil 1.3% - 2%

Irritation risk:

Concentration: Effectiveness: MEDIUM

An emollient that softens the skin

Exfoliation

What does the product description say?

Exfoliating Bar

Source: From product name

This product does not contain effective exfoliating ingredients. It might be able to deliver physical exfoliation, that is scrub off some of the dead cells on the surface of the skin. We do not recommend physical exfoliation, because it is not uniform (some bits of skin can get exfoliated too much while others not at all). It can also traumatize the skin and aggrevate acne and other skin conditions.

sea salt 0.95% - 1.45%

Irritation risk:

Concentration: Insufficient!

Used to thicken the product formulation and might help to add minerals to the surface of the skin. It is used in scrubs as a physical exfoliant. Can increase sensitivity to other ingredients if left on the skin or used in high concentration
