Body Balm - Detox Mongongo Nut, 450ml

A moisturising, soothing serum specially for dry climates. For all skin types. Protects sensitive skin from irritation and provides lasting moisture.Active ingredients in order of concentration: Glycerine is listed directly in second place, so presumably in a relevant amount. This is very sensible for dry skin, because glycerine binds water in the stratum corneum and makes the skin appear more supple.Saccharide Isomerate is also a very good moisturiser. It is often used as a longer-lasting hydrator because it can bind to keratin in the skin and therefore is not washed off quite so quickly.Panthenol is a plus point if your skin is dry, irritated or slightly sensitive. It can provide moisture and support the skin barrier.Sodium Hyaluronate complements the formula, but here is more of an addition than the main player. That is not a bad thing: for dry skin, glycerine, panthenol and saccharide isomerate are often more reliable than a pure hyaluronic serum. IngredientsMoisture/Humectants:Glycerine, Saccharide Isomerate, Butylene Glycol, Panthenol, Propanediol, Sodium Hyaluronate, Caprylyl GlycolVery strong.
