Product Summary
Based on the ingredient list, "Thalgo - Body Cold Cream Marine Deeply Nourishing Hand Cream" can work well for skin moisturization. The formulation is based on a combination of good humectants and emollients. Both are needed to increase the skin hydration level. Humectants in this product (panthenol and algae extract) help to increase the water content in the upper layer of the skin. (These ingredients do so by "capturing" water molecules from the outside air or from within the deeper layers of the skin). Algae extract, shorea robusta seed butter, beeswax, caprylic/capric triglyceride and cera alba in this product help decrease the water evoporation from the skin, so that it stays hydrated for longer. These ingredients also soften the skin and take away the feeling of tightness and dryness.

Body Cold Cream Marine Deeply Nourishing Hand Cream
Source: From product name
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.

The following ingredients in this product do the job: beeswax, caprylic/capric triglyceride.
