Understanding Water LockUpdated a year ago

Water Lock, which is our latest release: a non-greasy occlusive membrane designed specifically with one purpose in mind. The name is a hint - it locks water into the skin. 

When applied to skin that’s already been saturated with water, Water Lock binds it in place and prevents evaporation, which results in maximal hydration. A small amount of it functions like a regular moisturizer, but using a little more makes it the ultimate hydrator or rescue balm. 

Water Lock vs. Hydration Cream

The differences between Water Lock and Hydration Cream may not be obvious at first. 

To keep it simple, we’d put it this way: 

  • Hydration Cream is an ideal daily moisturizer that boosts all skin functions, for long-term renewal and hydration, along with soothing, anti-aging, brightening, and clarifying effects.  
  • Water Lock is the ultimate emergency solution for dehydration, thanks to its ability to fully lock moisture into the skin. It’s a mild and moisturizing formula that suits all skin types and can also be used for daily hydration.
