The Body Shop Spa of the World Japanese Camellia Body Cream
Works for
MoisturizingShorea stenoptera seed butter, Butyrospermum parkii butter + 7 moreWorks
“The Body Shop Japanese Camellia Cream is gently fragranced with camellia seed to leave skin velvety soft and moisturized.”
This product can help soften the skin and reduce its moisture loss with emollients and occlusives: butyrospermum parkii butter, shorea stenoptera seed butter.
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).
