Sanctuary Spa Signature Natural Oils Ultra Rich Body Butter

Based on the ingredients included, "Sanctuary Spa - Signature Natural Oils Ultra Rich Body Butter" works well for moisturizing the skin. To work well, any moisturizer needs to include a combination of water-binding and emollient ingredients. Sanctuary Spa - Signature Natural Oils Ultra Rich Body Butter ticks this box. Urea, glycerin, sodium lactate and sorbitol 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). Emollients in this formulation (petrolatum, theobroma cacao seed butter, butyrospermum parkii butter, copernicia cerifera wax and dimethicone) help to reduce the moisture loss from the skin. They also soften the skin surface and relieve the feeling of dryness and tightness.
