Product Summary
Based on the ingredient list, "Weleda - Skin Food Original Ultra-Rich Cream" can work well for skin moisturization. To work well, any moisturizer needs to include a combination of water-binding and emollient ingredients. Weleda - Skin Food Original Ultra-Rich Cream ticks this box. Humectants in this product (arginine and glycerin) 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). Lanolin, arginine, beeswax, helianthus annuus seed oil and prunus amygdalus dulcis oil 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.
