Moisturizing6 ingredients credited for this claimGood support
“Olive oil has been a beloved staple in beauty rituals for centuries and delivers the same potent antioxidants and nutrients topically while providing deep nourishing hydration and a luminous complexion.”
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).
