Moisturizing13 ingredients credited for this claimGood support
“The ultimate moisturising agent due to its lipid-replenishing ability, which deeply soothes the skin, while stimulating the synthesis of epidermal key lipids.”
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:
sodium hyaluronate.
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: helianthus annuus seed oil, plukenetia volubilis seed oil.
Anti-aging2 ingredients credited for this claimWeak support
“Contains verbascoside, a potent radical scavenger that's ideal for counteracting oxidation and preventing premature ageing.”
