What does the product description say?

Take it with you for a touch up of moisture on the go!

Source: Ulta

This product can help soften the skin and reduce its moisture loss with emollients and occlusives: ricinus communis seed oil.

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).

The following ingredients in this product are especially good for supporting the skin barrier and helping with the hydration level: lanolin

lanolin 1.8% - 2.7%

Irritation risk:

Concentration: Effectiveness: HIGH

Sebum of wool-bearing animals (most commonly sheep). Helps soften the upper layer of the skin and reduce the skin water loss. In rare cases could be an allergen. Not suitable for vegans

mangifera indica seed butter 9.9% - 14.9%

Irritation risk:

Concentration: Effectiveness: HIGH

Helps to soften the upper layer of the skin and might have some anti-oxidant effect

ricinus communis seed oil 26% - 39%

Irritation risk:

Concentration: Effectiveness: HIGH

A plant oil that can help soften the skin. It might be helpful in calming down inflammation, but solid research is lacking. Is often used in lip products to create the needed product consistency

Anti-aging

This product contains tocopherol. This ingredient help neutralize free radicals in skin. By doing so, they might be able to prevent early signs of aging (like fine lines and wrinkles), at least to some extent. These ingredients will not be able to "reverse" signs of aging.

tocopherol 1.9% - 2.8%

Irritation risk:

Concentration: Effectiveness: LOW

Pure form of vitamin E. Can help moisturise and protect the skin from free radicals. Often used to help stabilise other ingredients or the formula itself

Anti-oxidation

This product contains antioxidants (tocopherol) that can help neutralize free radicals in skin. By doing so, they can lessen the damage the skin gets from the UV light (sun).

tocopherol 1.9% - 2.8%

Irritation risk:

Concentration: Effectiveness: HIGH

Pure form of vitamin E. Can help moisturise and protect the skin from free radicals. Often used to help stabilise other ingredients or the formula itself

tocopheryl acetate 3.4% - 5.2%

Irritation risk:

Concentration: Effectiveness: LOW

A more stable but less bio-available form of vitamin E compared to Tocopherol. Might help moisturize and protect the skin from free radicals, but mostly used in low concentrations to stabilize other ingredients.

stevia rebaudiana extract 1.1% - 1.7%

Irritation risk:

Concentration: Effectiveness: LOW

A plant extract that adds a sweat taste to products (for example, for lip products). Might help to attract water to the upper layer of the skin and have some anti-oxidant effect
