❶ Texture
- Step 1 (Oil Part): A lightweight, silky oil serum. It absorbs quickly without a heavy, greasy residue, providing a slick, nourishing base.
- Step 2 (Mask Part): A rich, thick, creamy emulsion (like a dense moisturizer) in gloves. It feels emollient and occlusive, creating a protective barrier on top of the pre-applied oil.
❷ How It Works
Sequential Layering (Oil-First Method):
- Oil Part (Step 1): Functions as a penetrating treatment layer. Its primary role is to deliver lipid-soluble nutrients, antioxidants (like Vitamin E, Olive Leaf Extract), and emollient oils (Shea, Coconut, Meadowfoam) directly into the skin's upper layers, replenishing lipids and softening the skin matrix.
- Mask Part (Step 2): Functions as a sealing and active treatment layer. Its cream-based formula, containing water, humectants (Glycerin, Sodium Hyaluronate), and occlusives (Cetearyl Alcohol, Stearic Acid), locks in the oil and provides intensive hydration. It also delivers water-soluble actives like AHAs (Lactic, Malic, Lactobionic Acids) and enzymes (Papain) to the surface for exfoliation.
❸ Key Functional Ingredients:
- Exfoliation: A blend of Fruit Acids (Lactic Acid, Malic Acid, Lactobionic Acid, Gluconolactone) and the enzyme Papain works to gently dissolve dead skin cell buildup, promoting smoother texture and better absorption of nutrients.
- Barrier Repair & Hydration: A complex of Hyaluronic Acid forms (Sodium Hyaluronate, Hydrolyzed, Crosspolymer) attracts and holds water. Shea Butter, Sunflower Oil, and Glycerin reinforce the skin's moisture barrier.
- Antioxidant Protection: Tocopherol (Vitamin E), Rice Ferment Filtrate, and various plant extracts (Camellia, Gentiana, Olive Leaf) help protect skin from environmental stressors.
❹ Benefits
- Intensive Repair of Dryness & Roughness. Directly targets severely dry, flaky, or cracked hands by flooding the skin with a combination of replenishing oils and deep hydration.
- Smoothing & Refining Texture. The acid and enzyme complex works to gently exfoliate, smoothing away calluses and rough patches for noticeably softer skin.
- Nourishment & Antioxidant Support. The blend of plant oils and extracts nourishes the skin with fatty acids and antioxidants, improving overall hand health and resilience.
- Sensorial & Emotional Benefit: The fragrant experience (Citrus, Woody, etc.) transforms a basic skincare step into a luxurious, aromatherapeutic ritual.
❺ Finish
- Immediate Post-Rinse Finish: Hands are left feeling incredibly soft, smooth, and deeply moisturized. There should be no sticky or greasy film if rinsed properly. The finish is plump, supple, and nurtured.
- Residual Effect: A protective, non-occlusive layer remains, ensuring hydration is locked in for an extended period. The skin looks healthy, feels fortified, and has an improved overall texture.
Summary by Fragrance Variant:
The core formula and benefits are identical across all four scents (Citrus, Woody, Fougere, Floral Fruity). The only significant difference is the Fragrance (Parfum) and one emulsifier (Citrus uses Glyceryl Linoleate/Linolenate/Oleate/Stearate, while others use Glyceryl Laurate/Myristate/Palmitate/Stearate – both serve similar functions).
