Formulation view Rich occlusive mask utilizing mineral oil and lanolin alcohol for intense hydration, bolstered by ginseng and pomegranate extracts. Carbomer and cetearyl alcohol provide structure. Multiple preservatives including parabens and phenoxyethanol ensure shelf life. Ideal for overnight barrier repair on dry skin, though the heavy, synthetic emollient profile suits non-porous, oily types cautiously.
