MoisturizingSnail secretion filtrate, Glycerin + 7 moreWorks
“Snail filtrate, licorice, green tea, rice, bamboo, centella and mulberry extracts in this emulsion offer moisture and nutrients to sensitive skin to make it soft and radiant.”
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, snail secretion filtrate.
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, cetearyl alcohol.
