MoisturizingSimmondsia chinensis seed oil, Cocos nucifera oil + 6 moreGood evidence
“Harnessing the powers of Sesame, Coconut, Jojoba Oils, the ultra-hydrating blend delivers long-lasting moisture, whilst soothing and revitalising skin for long-lasting comfort.”
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.
