Ingredient analysis and how the ad lines read

What is this product?

A men's emulsion built on a glycerin and butylene glycol base with humectants like polyglutamic acid, ectoin, ceramide NP, hyaluronic acid and soluble collagen in the later half of the list. Best suited to normal to dry skin wanting lightweight-to-midweight hydration; fragrance is present.

What makes it different?

The formula pairs a silicone-and-shea emollient base with hydration actives clustered in the later half, including Polyglutamic Acid at 26, Ectoin at 30, Ceramide NP at 37, Sodium Hyaluronate at 44 and Hyaluronic Acid at 52. Concentrations are undisclosed for every one of these. There is no drying alcohol, and fatty alcohols serve as emollients. Fragrance and several fragrance allergens such as Linalool, Hexyl Cinnamal and Limonene are listed between 31 and 34, so very sensitive skin should weigh that.
