Ego QV Cream is a rich, protective cream which replenishes the skin and helps repair dry areas. It contains squalene, a natural component found in the skin's oil. Areas prone to dryness like the elbows, knees and hands will just love what QV Cream can do to help. Featured ingredients includes dimethicone, glycerin and squalene. Dimethicone is a silicone that helps to protect the skin by forming a water-repellent barrier against water soluble irritants. Its thick, viscous nature, makes for an excellent barrier on the skin to help prevent chaffing and other forms of skin irritation caused by friction and exposure to water-soluble irritants. This feature of dimethicone to form barrier on skin can help prevent moisture in the skin from evaporating. Another active moisturising ingredient Glycerin, is a humectant, helping to draw and hold water to the skin to maintain hydration. Moisturizing feature of glycerin can produce long-lasting moisturisation on the skin. At high humidity, Glycerin acts as a humectant, while at low humidity it acts as a skin moisturiser and conditioner by inhibiting lipid phase transition. Glycerin has the effect of moisturizing the skin and improves skin texture. It also protects the skin from external stimuli by strengthening its barrier. Additionally, squalene, a safe cosmetic ingredient works as a vehicle to help carry other substances or ingredients across the skin. This ingredient is an emollient, that means it offers skin-smoothing and softening benefits. Altogether, Ego QV cream is a highly effective moisturising cream for dry skin, especially after showering, bathing, shaving, exposure to harsh climatic conditions and at night.
