“Our unique blend of Mediterranean botanicals of olive, avocado, red pepper, horse chestnut and blackberry help rehydrate and firm, leaving skin radiant, dewy and full of vitality.”
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: dimethicone, helianthus annuus seed oil.
The following ingredients in this product are especially good for supporting the skin barrier and helping with the hydration level: urea

More about GlycerinNaturally present in skin (urea makes up about 7% of natural moisturizing factors in skin). Attracts water to the upper layer of the skin. Also has a positive effect on the skin barrier beyond the humectant action. Can enhance penetration of other ingredients. Is an exfoliating ingredient when used in high concentrations
More about UreaHelps oil and water mix together and works as an emollient
More about Stearic acidHelps oil and water mix together and can enhance the penetration of other ingredients into the skin. It can be irritating
More about Propylene glycolA great emollient due to its high linoleic acid content. One of the most effective plant oils in helping skin hydration and repairing skin barrier function

More about Olea europaea fruit oilAn emollient that helps soften the skin and could be helpful in repairing its barrier function
More about Persea gratissima oilA preservative. It helps prevent bacterial growth in cosmetic products

More about DimethiconeSame as oxybenzone. Protects in the UVB and short UVA range. In small concentrations, used to stabilize product formulation. Can be irritating. Is shown to be harmful to coral reefs - consider avoiding bathing in coral reef areas when wearing a product with this ingredient. It can penetrate the skin and get absorbed into bloodstream faster than other popular filters available in the US. The study that produced this finding did not address any potential health effects of the absorption

More about ParfumUsed to create a thicker product consistency
More about Xanthan gumHelps oil and water mix together
More about Peg-40 hydrogenated castor oilProduces temporary toning effect. Can help dissolve other ingredients or preserve products
More about Alcohol denat.A vitamin C derivative. Studies show that is might be effective in reducing hyperpigmentation, but there are no studies confirming that it is effectively converted into the bioavailable form of Vitamin C in skin. It is not clear how this derivative compares in effectiveness to the topical application of bioavailable form of vitamin C (L-ascorbic acid)
More about Ascorbyl tetraisopalmitateA more stable but less bio-available form of vitamin E compared to Tocopherol. Might help moisturize and protect the skin from free radicals, but mostly used in low concentrations to stabilize other ingredients.
More about Tocopheryl acetatePlant extract that might have some anti-oxidant properties. Can be irritating
More about Echinacea purpurea extractPure form of vitamin E. Can help moisturise and protect the skin from free radicals. Often used to help stabilise other ingredients or the formula itself
More about TocopherolThree steps removed from the active form of vitamin A - retinoic acid. To have an effect in the skin, it first needs to be converted twice to become the retinoic acid. This means it is less potent than retinol, but could also be less irritating. Once converted to the retinoic acid in the skin, it helps against all signs of aging, improves skin cell turnover and helps fight blemishes and clogged pores. However, in many cosmetic formulations, it is used in a concentration that is too low to have the full effect
More about Retinyl palmitateA good mix of fatty acids that forms a protective layer on the skin. Improves the shelf life of products. Derived from coconut and glycerin
More about Caprylic/capric triglycerideA plant extract that might help neutralize free radicals in skin
More about Rubus fruticosus fruit extractCan have some moisturizing properties due to its sugar content
More about Pyrus malus fruit extractOne of the best moisturizing ingredients. Attracts water into the upper layer of the skin
More about Sodium hyaluronatePepper extract. Might be able to help neutralize free radicals

More about Vitis vinifera seed oilPlant extract. Might have some anti-oxidant properties. Can be irritating
More about Aesculus hippocastanum seed extractA good emollient that helps soften the skin and helps repair its barrier function. It can clog pores if used in high concentrations.
