Skin Conditioning, Solvent

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.

Makes the skin supple and Hydrated. If I use it in the evening it makes my skin soft in the morning. It could be used instead of moisturizer in the morning.
