The 4 Main Active Ingredients of Moisturizing Cream
1. Hyaluronic acid
- Resulting from the fermentation of wheat, we know the molecule for its highly hydrating properties.
- Indeed, it can hold up to a thousand times its weight in water.

- Therefore, the daily intake of hyaluronic acid makes it possible to compensate for this reduction.
- Also, it reduces the look of fine lines and makes the skin more supple and more toned.
2. Shea Butter
- Resulting from nuts’ pressing, this butter with soothing and nourishing properties protects the skin from skin dryness and external aggressions.
- Its high content of triglycerides gives it great restorative power.
3. Squalane
- Squalane has a structure very similar to sebum. It, therefore, has an excellent affinity with the skin.
- Non-greasy, it quickly penetrates the epidermis and softens its touch.
- This contribution of lipids fights skin dryness and makes it possible to repair the hydrolipidic film of the skin.
4. Plum oil
- Extracted by cold pressing from its kernel, plum oil is known for its softening and antioxidant properties.
- Also, its almond scent brings a delicate fragrance to the cream.
