A fluid, dual-action body moisturizer combining Urea and Lactic Acid for gentle exfoliation with Jojoba and Rosehip Oils for deep lipid replenishment.
This formulation represents an exceptional dry skin treatment. It utilizes a sophisticated blend of Natural Moisturizing Factors (NMF) including Urea, Sodium Lactate, Sodium PCA, and Sodium Hyaluronate to bind moisture deep within the skin. The lipid phase is robust, featuring Dimethicone for occlusion alongside nutrient-rich plant oils like Rosehip, Jojoba, and Shea Oil to repair the barrier. The addition of Gluconolactone and Lactic Acid provides gentle exfoliation to smooth rough texture, while Bisabolol and Calendula offer soothing benefits. It is highly effective for xerosis (dry skin).
The safety profile is strong, particularly due to the apparent absence of synthetic fragrance (Parfum), which reduces allergy risk. However, it contains Retinyl Palmitate (Vitamin A), which is generally advised against during pregnancy and can increase sun sensitivity. Additionally, ingredients like Isopropyl Palmitate and Isopropyl Myristate are highly comedogenic, meaning they may clog pores and cause breakouts if used on acne-prone areas of the body (like the back or chest).
This is a high-efficacy formula specifically targeted at dry to very dry skin. It moves beyond simple hydration by incorporating barrier-repairing fatty acids (Linoleic/Linolenic) and keratolytic agents to address flakiness. The combination of water-holding humectants and moisture-sealing occlusives creates a comprehensive moisturizing system. While the texture might be richer due to the oil/silicone content, the performance for its intended purpose is top-tier.
This formula represents a sophisticated approach to body hydration, functioning as a hybrid between a traditional lotion and a treatment oil. At its core, the inclusion of Urea and Lactic Acid transforms this from a simple moisturizer into a textural corrector. These ingredients act as humectants to draw water in, but more importantly, they serve as keratolytic agents. This means they help break down the bonds between dead skin cells, making this product highly effective for smoothing out rough patches and addressing flaky skin conditions.
The lipid phase of this formula is robust. It moves away from heavy, waxy occlusion and instead utilizes high-spreading emollients like Isopropyl Palmitate and Dimethicone, paired with nutrient-dense botanicals like Rosehip Oil, Jojoba Seed Oil, and Shea Oil. This combination ensures that while the product creates a protective seal over the skin to prevent transepidermal water loss, it retains a fluid, silky application that mimics the skin’s natural sebum. The addition of Linoleic and Linolenic Acids (Vitamin F) further supports barrier repair, which is crucial for chronically dry skin.
From a soothing perspective, the inclusion of Bisabolol and Calendula Extract provides anti-inflammatory benefits, helping to quell redness and irritation often associated with dryness. There is also a mild anti-aging component provided by Retinyl Palmitate and Vitamin E, which may help with skin elasticity over time.
However, users should note that the texture relies heavily on silicones and esters. While this provides an elegant slip, ingredients like Isopropyl Myristate and Isopropyl Palmitate can be comedogenic for some, posing a risk for those prone to body breakouts. Overall, this is an excellent choice for rough, dry skin that needs more than just water; it needs resurfacing and oil replenishment.
