The Jojoba Company Hydrating Peptide Day Cream

"The Jojoba Company - Hydrating Peptide Day Cream" is a well-rounded moisturizing product. 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, glycerin and silk amino acids) 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). Oryza sativa bran oil, ribes nigrum seed oil, dimethicone, helianthus annuus seed oil and simmondsia chinensis seed oil 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.

Ingredient callouts

• This formulation also uses an effective concentration of panthenol (pro-vitamin B5) - about 2.30% - 2.90%. Panthenol helps strengthen the skin barrier, improve hydration and reduce inflammation in skin.
