Ingredients and why they matter
Aqua (water) serves as the base for moisturizing delivery. Glycerin is a humectant that helps attract and retain moisture in the skin. Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride provides a lightweight emollient feel and helps improve spreadability. Helianthus Annuus (Sunflower) Seed Oil nourishes and softens the skin. Pentylene Glycol acts as a humectant and helps improve product texture. Butyrospermum Parkii (Shea) Butter provides rich emollience for lasting hydration. Cyclopentasiloxane gives slip for smooth application. Cetearyl Alcohol and Glyceryl Stearate help to emulsify and stabilize the formula. Niacinamide supports the skin’s barrier function and may help improve skin tone. Arginine and Sodium PCA contribute to moisturizing power. Allantoin soothes irritated skin. Ceramide NP is a key lipid that helps repair the skin barrier. Additional components include antioxidants like Tocopheryl Acetate (Vitamin E) and a blend of conditioning agents to support a healthy skin feel. This product also contains Dimethiconol for a protective, non-greasy finish.
