Product Summary
Judging from the ingredient list, "W3LL PEOPLE - Bio Brightener Cream Stick" works well for improving skin hydration To work well, any moisturizer needs to include a combination of water-binding and emollient ingredients. W3LL PEOPLE - Bio Brightener Cream Stick ticks this box. Humectants in this product (butylene glycol and propylene glycol) help to increase the water content in the upper layer of the skin. (These ingredients do so by "capturing" water molecules from the outside air or from within the deeper layers of the skin). Paraffinum liquidum, petrolatum, carthamus tinctorius seed oil, rosa rubiginosa seed oil and copernicia cerifera wax in this product help decrease the water evoporation from the skin, so that it stays hydrated for longer. These ingredients also soften the skin and take away the feeling of tightness and dryness.
This product contains ingredients that could be beneficial, but their concentrations are too low in this formulation: camellia sinensis seed oil, lecithin, jojoba oil, caprylic/capric triglyceride, vitamin e and titanium dioxideIrritation risk
