After a long day, taking a refreshing shower sounds like a nice treat. But for some, it can evoke the fear of dry, itchy skin. That’s because many so-called gentle cleansers strip away the skin’s natural oils. The result? Flakiness, irritation, and a never-ending cycle of dryness.
In such cases, what you actually need is a cleanser that cleans without disrupting the skin’s natural barrier balance. One that doesn’t just claim to be “gentle”, “mild”, “for sensitive skin”, but actually lives up to that promise.
Today, we’re going to review one such cleanser and body wash which is made differently. The body wash by India’s 1st triple-certified skincare brand. AreoVeda’s Hydrating Body Foam Wash!
So, let’s dive right in!
Key Ingredients in AreoVeda Hydrating Body Foam Wash
First, let’s take a look at the primary ingredients that go into the making of AreoVeda Hydrating Body Foam Wash.
- PENTAVITIN®
PENTAVITIN® is a complex carbohydrate derived from plants that works like a hydration artist for your skin. When used in a body wash, it not only helps to instantly hydrate your skin but also keeps it that way for up to 24 hours. By binding to your skin like a magnet, it strengthens your skin’s natural moisture barrier and also rapidly restores its efficient functioning. Research has found that even with frequent showering, PENTAVITIN® helps reinforce the skin’s barrier while protecting it against dryness.
Moreover, this skin-loving carb also exhibits soothing properties, helping to keep your skin calm up to 24 hours after a single application.
- Hyaluronic Acid
Hyaluronic Acid is a substance that your body produces naturally. Its job is to keep your eyes, joints and skin lubricated. It also helps to keep your skin more elastic and stretch better, thereby reducing wrinkles and fine lines. The acid has a long-chain structure. And within this structure, there are plenty of spots where water molecules can attach themselves to. To put that into perspective, a quarter-teaspoon of hyaluronic acid can hold about 1.5 gallons of water. When added to a body wash, it helps your skin stay hydrated after cleansing by attracting and holding moisture, leaving it soft and supple.
- Hydrolyzed Milk Protein
Remember how Cleopatra’s beauty was often correlated with her milk bath ritual? That’s because milk, being a complete protein, can help nourish and protect both human hair and skin. The hydrolysed milk protein used in AreoVeda’s Hydrating Body Foam works as an excellent moisturiser and a good emollient (skin softener). Additionally, it’s a great ingredient choice for those of you with sensitive skin. Studies have shown that when used repeatedly in rinse-off products such as a body wash, milk protein increases skin hydration as compared to other commercially available body washes.
- Licorice Root Extract
Licorice root has long been celebrated for its remarkable therapeutic properties. Originating in the Mediterranean and later finding its way to India, China, and Russia, it has been valued for centuries in traditional medicine. From this powerful root, dipotassium glycyrrhizinate is extracted through a water-based extraction process. This compound is renowned for its ability to treat both acute and chronic dermatitis. Today, it’s a prized ingredient in skincare and cosmetic formulations, known for soothing and calming sensitive skin. Its unique blend of anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, antibacterial, and anti-irritant properties makes it a true multitasker in modern skincare science and a true hero ingredient in AreoVeda’s body wash.
- Coffee
Coffee in skincare may sound like just another trend. But the truth is quite the opposite. In fact many studies have shown that the caffeine present in coffee can act like an energy booster for your skin. Often proposed as an antioxidant, coffee helps to fight everyday skin stressors such as pollution and harmful UV rays. That’s the reason it helps to keep away dullness and bring back the fresh glow on your skin. Another big advantage of coffee is that it helps improve micro-circulation on the skin which makes your skin look more awake and refreshed. Moreover, its anti-inflammatory properties help calm redness, irritation and also soothe acne-prone skin.
- Trehalose
Trehalose is a natural sugar molecule found in plants, certain fungi and insects. Its role is to act like a moisture lock shield that protects organisms against extreme heat, dryness and harsh weather conditions. As a skincare ingredient, it helps minimise post wash dryness and skin roughness. A great choice for those of you looking for soft, hydrated and naturally plump skin.
