Good evidence

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, sodium hyaluronate.

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: bis-diglyceryl polyacyladipate-2, copernicia cerifera wax.

BIS-DIGLYCERYL POLYACYLADIPATE-2Role: HeroHelps soften the upper layer of the skin and reduce water loss from its surface~3.9–5.9%
COPERNICIA CERIFERA WAXRole: Key activeHelps to soften the upper layer of the skin and create a nice product consistency~0.4–0.9%
GLYCERINRole: Key activeOne of the best moisturizing ingredients. Naturally present in skin. It attracts water to the upper layer of the skin working as a humectant~1.6–2.4%
SODIUM HYALURONATERole: Key activeOne of the best moisturizing ingredients. Attracts water into the upper layer of the skin~0.45–1%
TRIETHYLHEXANOINRole: Key activeHelps soften the upper layer of the skin~1.2–1.7%
