Moisturizing

Moisturizing Ingredients 

Description of Moisturizing: water plays a key role to help your skin stay healthy and smooth, and it provides required nourishment. Moisturizers help to seal in or trap moisture and help to form the skin’s protective barrier to avoid water evaporating from the skin. These ingredients give the skin a smooth and soft feel and therefore are often referred to as emollients (emollient means to soften). Both product functions use the same occlusive mechanism to ensure that water can’t escape easily, however where emollients mainly aim to soften the skin, the main function of moisturizers is to prevent loss of water by trapping and sealing in moisture. Moisturizing ingredients come in many categories, most of them combining moisturizing with other benefits, and are primarily used in skin, body and hair care products.
