These both types of ingredients are essentials for improving the skin hydration and keeping the skin barrier healthy.

(These ingredients do so by "capturing" water molecules from the outside air or from within the deeper layers of the skin). Paraffinum liquidum, petrolatum, cera microcristallina, cetyl alcohol and glyceryl stearate in this product help decrease the water evoporation from the skin, so that it stays hydrated for longer.
