MoisturizingSimmondsia chinensis seed oil, Glycerin + 1 moreWorks
“Weleda knows it will be good for skin that needs balance, so it’s blended with other ingredients like organically-grown jojoba oil to protect, moisturise and refresh your skin, fragrantly, day and night.”
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: simmondsia chinensis seed oil, glyceryl stearate citrate.
