Moisturizers

Moisturizers are ingredients that counteract dryness in skin and hair care. These materials are often humectants (substances which draw moisture from the air and bring it closer to the skin or hair). Some are what we call “moisture binders” because they force cells to hold water, and therefore retain moisture. Some are what we call “film formers” because they form a breathable, protective barrier on the skin, reducing “TEWL” (TransEpidermal Water Loss). TEWL is the migration of moisture upward from deeper dermal tissues where it is lost to evaporation after passing through the stratum corneum. TDF carries the most effective moisturizers known, allowing you to develop the most efficacious products on the market today.
