This product can help improve hydration of the skin with the two types of ingredients.
The first type is called âhumectantsâ:
these ingredients help attract water.
When humectants are on the surface of the skin, they âpull inâ the moisture from the outside environment, or from
within deeper layers of the skin. The following ingredients in this product do the job:
glycerin, honey extract.
This product also contains ingredients called âocclusivesâ. They help reduce the speed with which our skin loses moisture to the outside environment. 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: argania spinosa kernel oil, opuntia ficus-indica seed oil.
