MoisturizingCaprylic/capric triglyceride, Olea europaea fruit oil + 9 moreWorks
“The non-sticky and non-greasy formula feels light and hydrating on the skin with a unique silicone-free dry texture.”
This product can help soften the skin and reduce its moisture loss with emollients and occlusives: caprylic/capric triglyceride, helianthus annuus seed oil.
Keep in mind that this product does not contain effective ingredients to attract water to the upper layer of the skin. This is why an additional product with humectants like glycerin or hyaluronic acid can be helpful (apply it before this product for the best results).
Anti-oxidationSide benefit · Camellia sinensis leaf extract, Carthamus tinctorius seed oil + 2 moreMay help
This product contains antioxidants (camellia sinensis leaf extract) that might be able to help neutralize free radicals in skin to lessen the damage it gets from the UV light (sun). There is not enough evidence to confirm their effectiveness in skin though.
