Water. It's the most common cosmetic ingredient of all. You'll usually see it at the top of ingredient lists, meaning that it makes up the largest part of the product.
So why is it so popular? Water most often acts as a solvent - this means that it helps dissolve other ingredients into the formulation.
You'll also recognize water as that liquid we all need to stay alive. If you see this, drink a glass of water. Stay hydrated!

Like other oils, Paraffinum Liquidum has emollient properties. Emollients help soothe and soften the skin. By creating a barrier to trap moisture within, emollients help keep your skin hydrated.

Consists a lot of paraffinum that makes just a foil on your skin!! The worst
Bioderma Atoderm Intensive Balm 36 ingredients
Medium-to-heavy-weight cream that can be used for hands, face & body. Very soothing. Can be used after tret or retinol on face if needed, esp. in winter.
This balm is really lovely and super hydrating. I often use it on my body as the skin on my face is super sensitive. It spreads really nicely, and a little goes a long way. I take one star off because the skin on my body is extremely dry, and this doesn't really last, and my skin is flaking an hour later. I've tried putting it on after a bath and the same thing, so I'm still looking for a body Show more
