Science: Fresh Moisturizer Reviews by NvWah

Soy protein is natural moisturizing factor and protects skin from environmental damage. There are a handful of good water-binding agents that make this product richly moisturizing. The antioxidant content is impressive. So this product should work well in terms of preventing the signs of aging. Other ingredients sooth the skin.

The fourth abundant ingredient is PPG-2 myristyl ether propionate. It is a mixture of glycols and fatty alcohols. It’s a skin-conditioning and thickening agent. It can cause skin irritation when used as a main ingredient.

This product contains quite a lot of fragrant components that may cause irritation. For this I took away one star.

Safety alert: Cautious
