Product summary

"Skinfood - Royal Honey Propolis Enrich Cream Mist Australia - Korean Skin Care and Cosmetic" has a good moisturizing formula. To work well, any moisturizer needs to include a combination of water-binding and emollient ingredients. Skinfood - Royal Honey Propolis Enrich Cream Mist Australia - Korean Skin Care and Cosmetic ticks this box. Panthenol, betaine, glycerin, lactobacillus ferment and honey extract 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 (ceramide np, glycosphingolipids and octyldodecanol) help to reduce the moisture loss from the skin. They also soften the skin surface and relieve the feeling of dryness and tightness.

Ingredient callouts

  • As a plus, this moisturizer also contains Ceramides (ceramide np 0.30% - 0.60%). Ceramides are a type of lipids that our skin produces itself. They are a building block of the skin's barrier. Ceramides used in skincare are synthetic or extracted from plants. They work well for softening the skin surface and "patch holes" in the skin's barrier.
  • Panthenol (pro-vitamin B5) at about 0.70% - 1.05% concentration. In this concentration, Panthenol works effectively to improve the skin barrier and reduce inflammation.
This product contains ingredients that could be beneficial, but their concentrations are too low in this formulation: vitamin e, butyrospermum parkii butter, caprylic/capric triglyceride and allantoin
