Benefits
Promise: Anti-aging
What does the product description say?
Our boobs are uniquely at risk for fine lines and crepiness because the skin in this area is so delicate.
This product does not contain ingredients that are able to reduce fine lines and wrinkles or help with skin elasticity, but it can improve the look of the skin temporarily through moisturization. Well-moisturized skin might also be able to repair the sun damage better.These ingredients - butyrospermum parkii butter, camellia sinensis leaf extract - could be helpful for preventing or repairing signs of aging in theory, but there is no evidence that it actually works.
This ingredient camellia sinensis leaf extract might be able to help neutralize free radicals in skin and help it fight off some of the sun damage.

Promise: Moisturizing
What does the product description say?
An ultra-rich, luxurious moisturizer that works to firm, plump and tone the thinner, more fragile skin of the breast and décolleté area with nature’s most hydrating oils and butters.
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, calcium gluconate.
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: butyrospermum parkii butter, caprylic/capric triglyceride.
| Ingredient | Effectiveness | Concentration | Irritancy |
|---|---|---|---|
| butyrospermum parkii butter | HIGH | | |
| caprylic/capric triglyceride | HIGH | | |
| cocos nucifera oil | HIGH | | |

Other benefit: Anti-oxidation
This product contains antioxidants (camellia sinensis leaf extract) that might be able to help neutralize free radicals in skin to lessen the damage it gets from the UV light (sun). There is not enough evidence to confirm their effectiveness in skin though.
| Ingredient | Effectiveness | Concentration | Irritancy |

| camellia sinensis leaf extract | MEDIUM | | |
| butyrospermum parkii butter | LOW | | |
| gluconolactone | MEDIUM | | |

| Can contain potent anti-oxidant compounds (abbreviated ECG, GCG, EGC, and EGCG) that might help protect the skin from free radicals.
