OILY BALM

LOTION

Characteristics ingredients


The formula is based on water, has high permeability Contains a large amount of active ingredients (vitamins, antioxidants and nourishing ingredients)


Oil should be absorbed slowly, when used should be combined with massage movements The balm is pressed from fruits and seeds of plants, mixed with a few active ingredients and relaxing essential oils


Moisturizer is formulated with a combination of water and oil, easily absorbed into the skin. There are also active ingredients in moderate concentrations.

Water has a small molecular size, easily penetrates into the skin, so the serum has the ability to heal deep lesions in the skin and treat specific defects such as: wrinkles, dullness, acne, etc.


Nutrients from balm oil often have a large molecular size, do not easily penetrate deep in the skin, so choose grape molecular oils such as jojoba or argan, or other oils that apply special technology (eg oleosome) . Nourishing oil is especially effective in providing vitamins & fatty acids, helping to nourish and restore the skin, increase health and long-term elasticity, make skin soft instantly, while moisturizing by preventing moisture vaporize.

No sun protection

Do not go into the skin for treatment like serum Nutrient levels provide less than oil Using daily moisturizer is necessary if you have normal skin, combination skin or oily skin. But when you take care of dry skin, using only moisturizer may not be enough, so need to replenish the oil. Special treatment issues need support serum.
