“A nourishing blend of Aloe Vera, Coconut Oil and Jojoba deliver long-lasting hydration, whilst antioxidant Vitamin E and Rose Hip protect skin and reignite a natural glow.”
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, aloe barbadensis leaf juice.
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: cocos nucifera oil, simmondsia chinensis seed oil.
ExfoliationNo ingredient credited for this claimNot delivered
“Synergising aromatic Coffee Extracts, Walnut and Coconut Shell to gently buff away dull, dead cells, the scrub leaves skin feeling incredibly soft, smooth and revitalised.”
This product does not contain effective exfoliating ingredients. It might be able to deliver physical exfoliation, that is scrub off some of the dead cells on the surface of the skin. We do not recommend physical exfoliation, because it is not uniform (some bits of skin can get exfoliated too much while others not at all). It can also traumatize the skin and aggrevate acne and other skin conditions.
