Product summary

Based on the ingredient list, "ROUND LAB - Mugwort Calming Cream YS" can work well for skin moisturization. To work well, any moisturizer needs to include a combination of water-binding and emollient ingredients. ROUND LAB - Mugwort Calming Cream YS ticks this box. Panthenol, diglycerin, fructooligosaccharides, fructose and glycerin in this product (humectants) attract water molecules to the upper layer of the skin (the water comes from the outside air or from the deeper layers of the skin if the air is dry). Vinyl dimethicone, dimethiconol, cyclohexasiloxane and pentylene glycol 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.
