Aloe Daily Moisturiser

 

This is a classic daily moisturiser that is just the perfect amount of hydration for the skin. It is non-greasy, absorbs fast, and leaves the skin feeling great for hours afterwards.

The Montanov 68 is a specialised emulsifier that acts as a moisturiser and provides moisture to the skin for hours after application. It prevents trans epidermal water loss in the skin, which is a great property to have in a face cream, especially in the drier winter months.

Avocado butter adds some deep moisturising and consitioning properties.

And actives of aloe vera, D panthenol, Vitamin E and niacinamide really boost the formula.

Give it a try!
