“*adds ten to basket*The ultra-rich balm serves an array of functions including smoothing dry patches, as well as feeding dehydrating skin, lips and the ends of your hair.”
This product can help soften the skin and reduce its moisture loss with emollients and occlusives: butyrospermum parkii butter, caprylic/capric triglyceride.
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).
