St. Tropez Gradual Tan Tinted Everyday Body Lotion
Works for
MoisturizingC12-15 alkyl benzoate, Dimethicone + 3 moreWorks
“For an instant touch of bronze that illuminates the skin, St. Tropez's ultra-hydrating body lotion also gradually builds to create a healthy sunkissed glow to suit you.”
This product can help improve hydration of the skin with the two types of ingredients.
The first type is called “humectants”:
these ingredients help attract water.
When humectants are on the surface of the skin, they “pull in” the moisture from the outside environment, or from
within deeper layers of the skin. The following ingredients in this product do the job:
glycerin, caprylyl glycol.
This product also contains ingredients called “occlusives”. 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: dimethicone, c12-15 alkyl benzoate.
