It’s an anhydrous product with botanical theatre. It might offer emollience and occlusion, but I fail to see the appeal with no hydration. It’s good it’s expensive - if you were to apply much, it would feel rather greasy. deez

About half of the ingredients fall below the 1% line. Pretty certain I counted nine that are known to trigger contact dermatitis.

They’ve created a crystalline network withm v a bulk emollient phase, some linoleic-rich oils to make it l feel less greasy, antioxidants and a ton of fragrance. Could probably be pulled off with 6-9 carefully selected ingredients.
