Matarrania Nourishing Moisturizer for Combination Skin 100% Organic 30ml

Why you'll like it

This product stands out for:

• Jojoba oil (light-touch liquid vegetable wax, very similar to some lipids in skin sebum).
• Shea butter and sunflower, almond, olive and sesame oils (cold-pressed vegetable emollients that leave the skin soft).
• Rosehip oil (light vegetable oil that completes the emollient profile).
• Carnauba wax (forms a thin protective film on the surface of the skin).
• Essential oils of lavender, lemon and ylang-ylang (provide a natural floral and citrus aroma).

A waterless balm designed for combination skin

This moisturizer is an anhydrous balm: it contains no water, only butter, vegetable oils, wax, a botanical extract, and essential oils. Therefore, it doesn't need preservatives.

The oils and shea butter act as emollients: they fill the tiny spaces between the cells in the outermost layer of skin, so it feels softer and more supple to the touch. Carnauba wax adds a light film-forming effect that helps reduce water loss.

Jojoba oil is actually a liquid wax. Its composition is similar to that of some sebum lipids; it spreads easily and leaves a less greasy feel than other oils, which is appreciated in the T-zone.

For combination skin, the key is in the amount: a very thin layer, warmed between your fingers, a little more generous on the cheeks and around the eyes, where dryness is common, and lighter on the forehead, nose, and chin. Because it doesn't contain water, it absorbs more slowly than a conventional cream, but its effect lasts longer.

A topical product works on the surface of the skin. It does not alter the internal structure and is not equivalent to a professional cosmetic procedure. However, consistent use can help combination skin feel more balanced, smooth, and comfortable to the touch, without feeling heavy.

Ingredients and active ingredients of the formula

All plant-based ingredients are organically grown:

• Butyrospermum Parkii Butter: Shea butter, an emollient that provides body and softness.
• Helianthus Annuus Seed Oil: sunflower oil, a light emollient rich in linoleic acid.
• Prunus Amygdalus Dulcis Oil: Sweet almond oil softens the skin's surface.
