Moisturizing
What does the product description say?
Moisturising, protecting and correcting, the Silky Smooth Balm is a must-have staple for a flawless base.
Source: Mankind
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, butylene glycol.
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, limnanthes alba seed oil.
This oil's cmposition is closest to rapeseed oil. It is a very stable oil and serves as an emoillient
A silicone that helps to reduce water loss from the surface of the skin. Can temporarily "fill in" lines and wrinkles, absorb oil, and create a nice product finish
One of the best moisturizing ingredients. Naturally present in skin. It attracts water to the upper layer of the skin working as a humectant
Helps soften the upper layer of the skin
A silicone that helps improve the product texture and spreadability. Can absorb oil creating a short-term mattifying effect on the skin
A silicone that serves as an emollient. Helps create a nice non-greasy feels
Used to create a nice product texture and help delivery of other ingredients. Might be somewhat helpful in attracting water to the upper layer of the skin
An emollient that helps soften the skin and creates a thicker product texture
A plant oil that helps to soften the upper layer of the skin and can help restore the skin barrier. Might have some anti-oxidant effect
Anti-aging
What does the product description say?
Upon contact with skin, it melts into a spreadable buttery consistency, filling up enlarged pores, wrinkles and fine lines to create a silky-smooth and even texture with a matte finish.

Exfoliation
What does the product description say?
Formulated with Egg White to buff away dead skin cells and banish excess oil, the balm also utilizes an Herbal Complex containing Burdock and Lemon to help to balance the natural sebum levels and reduce shine.

This product does not contain effective exfoliating ingredients. It might be able to deliver physical exfoliation, that is scrub off some of the dead cells on the surface of the skin. We do not recommend physical exfoliation, because it is not uniform (some bits of skin can get exfoliated too much while others not at all). It can also traumatize the skin and aggrevate acne and other skin conditions.
