MoisturizingLinoleic acid, Oenothera biennis oil + 10 moreWorks well
“A vegan, citrus-flavoured drinking oil to quench dry, irritated skin from within with a healthy ratio of plant-based omega 3, 6, 7 and 9 oils from black cumin seed, chia seed and sea buckthorn fruit, plus evening primrose oil to reduce inflammation for a smooth, supple complexion.”
This product can help soften the skin and reduce its moisture loss with emollients and occlusives: cocos nucifera oil, linolenic acid.
Keep in mind that this product does not contain effective ingredients to attract water to the upper layer of the skin. This is why an additional product with humectants like glycerin or hyaluronic acid can be helpful (apply it before this product for the best results).
The following ingredients in this product are especially good for supporting the skin barrier and helping with the hydration level: linoleic acid
Anti-oxidationSide benefit · Astaxanthin, Oenothera biennis oil + 2 moreWorks well
This product contains antioxidants (astaxanthin) that can help neutralize free radicals in skin. By doing so, they can lessen the damage the skin gets from the UV light (sun).
Anti-agingSide benefit · Astaxanthin, TocopherolMay help
This product contains astaxanthin. This ingredient might be able to help reduce and prevent fine lines and wrinkles, improve skin elasticity and firmness, but there is not enough evidence that it actually works.
