What formula should a protective cream have?
The winter skin protective cream should be oily and viscous and contain nourishments and natural additives, natural oils, vitamins and TEWL-reducing ingredients.
- Animal fats can protect skin from weathering and prevent TEWL;

- Natural oils deeply nourish skin;
- Allantoin and panthenol regenerate damaged skin and reduce irritation;
- Vitamins soften and nourish skin;
- Glycerin and Sodium Hyaluronate moisturize skin.
Besides that, protective winter creams should contain herbal essences for relaxing skin and natural fats and oils for protection from frost and wind.
