This is a nutritious sun-damage treatment. It has ingredients for skin rebuilding after sun burn.

The second ingredient perilla ocymoides are rich in omega-3 fatty acids so it helps keep skin homeostasis. Perilla oil stimulates collagen and laminin synthesis. This ingredient contributes to tissue repair after sun burn. The third ingredient barley extract has antioxidant properties when ingested, but there is no research showing skin benefits. The fourth ingredient wheat germ oil is natural nonfragrant emollient plant oil.

Another main effective ingredient sodium hyaluronate is the sodium salt of hyaluronic acid. Hyaluronic acid is a natural component of skin tissue that is used in skin-care products as a good water-binding agent. In the same category the next ingredient lecithin is phospholipid found in egg yolks and the membranes of plant and animal cells. It is widely used in cosmetics as an emollient and water-binding agent.

Besides there are antioxidants C and E that prevent further free radical damage.

The formula is soothing and non-irritating. If only they didn't put artificial colorants in it.
