Promise: Moisturizing
What does the product description say?
A potent blend of natural oils, including jojoba, almond, sunflower seed and pumpkin seed, is combined with seaweed and green algae extracts, delivering nutrients and moisture to the skin.
This product can help soften the skin and reduce its moisture loss with emollients and occlusives: helianthus annuus seed oil, simmondsia chinensis 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).
| Ingredient | Effectiveness | Concentration | Irritancy |
|---|---|---|---|
| camelina sativa seed oil | HIGH | | |
| cucurbita pepo seed oil | HIGH | | |
| persea gratissima oil | HIGH | | |
