How it works

The body moisturizer aims to address dry skin by combining various hydrating and conditioning ingredients. Butyrospermum Parkii (Shea) Butter and Theobroma Cacao (Cocoa) Seed Butter act as emollients, helping to soften and smooth the skin. Glycerin serves as a humectant, attracting moisture to the skin to maintain hydration for an extended period. Cetearyl Alcohol acts as an emulsifier, aiding in the stability of the formulation. Orbignya Oleifera Seed Oil functions as an emollient, providing additional skin-conditioning benefits. Dimethicone forms a protective layer on the skin to enhance its barrier function. Oryza Sativa Bran Wax thickens the product, contributing to its creamy texture. Tocopherol, a form of Vitamin E, acts as an antioxidant, helping to protect the skin from environmental stress.
