“moisturize, hydrate and restore soft, comfortable skin.”
This product can help improve hydration of the skin with the two types of ingredients.

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, carthamus tinctorius seed oil.
The following ingredients in this product are especially good for supporting the skin barrier and helping with the hydration level: urea
