Xylitylglucoside and Betaine work as moisturizing agents, supporting the product's overall goal to improve skin hydration. Undaria Pinnatifida Extract serves as an additional skin conditioning agent, contributing to the product's moisturizing effect. This combined approach appears to be designed to enhance skin moisture levels, aiming for a hydrated and healthy appearance.
