Anti-agingAsiaticoside, Butyrospermum parkii butter + 1 moreMay help
“During makeup: before applying makeup base or foundation, use the multi balm as primer to cover fine lines and wrinkles.”
This product contains asiaticoside. This ingredient might be able to help reduce and prevent fine lines and wrinkles, improve skin elasticity and firmness, but there is not enough evidence that it actually works.
MoisturizingHelianthus annuus seed oil, Cera alba + 11 moreWorks
“Enriched with the highly moisturizing powers of cult favorite ingredient cica extract, this balm helps hydrate skin, remove dead skin cells and nourish skin!”
This product can help soften the skin and reduce its moisture loss with emollients and occlusives: butyrospermum parkii butter, cera alba.
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).
Anti-oxidationSide benefit · Ubiquinone, Asiaticoside + 4 moreWorks well
This product contains antioxidants (asiaticoside, ubiquinone) that can help neutralize free radicals in skin. By doing so, they can lessen the damage the skin gets from the UV light (sun).
