Nourish Organic

Ultra Hydrating Face Cream
Ultra Hydrating Face Cream
Rating: Best
Price: $24.99 ($14.7 per oz)

Containing mostly organic ingredients, it’s no surprise that this moisturizer tops our list based on its ingredients. Nourish Organic’s Ultra Hydrating Face Cream is rich without feeling overwhelming, thanks to its fast-absorbing qualities. A combination of its organic ingredients, such as Moroccan argan oil and pomegranate seed oil, hydrates the skin while leaving a light scent.

The only “iffy” ingredient in our favorite moisturizer is denatured SD-Alcohol 38 (also known as ethanol), which is known to be a penetration enhancer. In other words, it increases the skin absorption of other ingredients. However, without other ingredients of concern, this is not a concern.

Ingredients

  • Organic Aloe (Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Juice),
  • Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride,
  • Organic Alcohol (Denatured SD-Alcohol 38B),
  • Polyglyceryl-6 Distearate,
