S.Nature Aqua Squalane Moisturizing Cream (60ml)

S.Nature Aqua Squalane Moisturizing Cream is a gel-cream with 150,000 ppm (15%) squalane, eight forms of hyaluronic acid, glycerin and betaine. It keeps skin hydrated and comfortable without a heavy film, and leaves a soft, dewy finish that sits well under sunscreen and makeup. What it doesSqualane is a light emollient that softens skin and helps slow moisture loss. Hyaluronic acid, glycerin and betaine draw water in, while xylitylglucoside, anhydroxylitol and xylitol, a moisture complex sold as Aquaxyl, help skin hold on to it. Panthenol and allantoin add comfort. Adenosine and a peptide are also in the list, but this is a moisturiser first, not a fine-lines treatment. Why we chose itA high squalane level in a light gel-cream is a useful middle ground: more cushion than a gel, less weight than a rich cream. It pairs with S.Nature Aqua Squalane Serum.
