“Weleda Baby Calendula Body Milk 200ml is an unctuous body lotion for a very gentle and natural care gesture after washing or bathing babies and young children.Very soft, formulated for the sensitive epidermis of babies and young children, it moisturises (the superior layers of the epidermis) and softens the epidermis while supporting the natural functions of the skin.”
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:
glycerin.
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: beeswax, cera alba.
