Contains 8 varieties of amino acid, the primary ingredient in natural moisturizing factor (NMF).To this we have added a skin conditioning ingredient (glycylglycine). The fresh, light body spreads like water as it works into the skin to penetrate down to the corneous layer. Even more moisture can be retained by using it after an amino acid preparation, preventing dryness and maintaining moisture balance. This is a glycerin free gel that smoothly moisturizes your skin.
