“Skin lovin' ingredients to give a dewy, moisturised base complexxion, infused with (oh so fluffy) marshmallow extract to moisturise and soothe and edelweiss extract, also known as flower of purity, with its anti-oxidant properties.”
This product contains good ingredients to attract water to the upper layer of the skin. These ingredients are called "humectants": erythritol, glycerin.
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. If the air is dry, humectants can speed up the moisture loss from the skin. This is why it is a good idea to use another product on top of this one to help "seal in" the moisture (look for ingredients like dimethicone, squalane, oils and butters).

Effective ingredients missing or their concentration is too low.
Anti-oxidationSide benefit · Tartaric acid, Althaea officinalis root extractMay help
This product contains antioxidants (tartaric acid) that might be able to help neutralize free radicals in skin to lessen the damage it gets from the UV light (sun). There is not enough evidence to confirm their effectiveness in skin though.
