“Fortified with Linseed and Jojoba Oil, the 99% natural moisturiser helps to minimise redness and inflammation, whilst natural volcanic Zeolite defends against free radical damage for long-lasting comfort.”
This product can help improve hydration of the skin with the two types of ingredients.

within deeper layers of the skin. The following ingredients in this product do the job:

The following ingredients in this product do the job: ricinus communis seed oil, simmondsia chinensis seed oil.
The following ingredients in this product are especially good for supporting the skin barrier and helping with the hydration level: urea
