Dry skin, tightness, and a dull complexion? The right moisturizer is the key to healthy, radiant skin – and the right ingredients are crucial. In this article, we'll show you how prickly pear seed oil, prickly pear flower water, glycerin, sodium lactate, and hyaluronic acid provide your skin with intensive moisture – without a greasy residue. Ideal for anyone looking for a good moisturizer that works and feels pleasantly light.

Prickly pear seed oil is one of the most precious and effective plant oils in skin care. It is rich in water-binding compounds and thus acts as a natural moisture reservoir . At the same time, it soothes stressed skin, strengthens the skin barrier, and provides excellent hydration without leaving a greasy residue.

Ideal for anyone looking for a rich moisturizer that is still non-greasy – also perfect as a light face cream.

The delicately scented prickly pear blossom water is not only a sensory delight, but also actively supports the skin's moisture absorption . It has a calming effect and restores the skin's natural moisture balance—a wonderful addition to any moisturizing facial cream.

Both active ingredients are part of our skin's natural moisturizing factor (NMF) – the substances the skin produces itself to retain moisture. Glycerin and sodium lactate help bind water in the skin and prevent dryness. They make the skin supple without over-conditioning it.

This combination is perfect for a water-based moisturizer that provides lasting hydration for both oily and dry skin.

Hyaluronic acid has become an essential part of modern skincare. It acts like a magnetic moisture reservoir: One gram of hyaluronic acid can bind up to six liters of water! In a good hyaluronic cream, it provides an immediately visible boost of freshness and helps plump up fine lines caused by dryness.

A hyaluronic face cream is therefore ideal for the daily care of dry skin – also as a day cream with UV protection or even with SPF 50 for the summer.

If you're looking for a moisturizing cream that works effectively without clogging pores, look for high-quality ingredients like prickly pear seed oil, glycerin, sodium lactate, and hyaluronic acid. A rich cream that also feels light on the skin is especially beneficial for sensitive or dry skin.

Our recommendation: Choose a non-greasy moisturizer with natural hydrating ingredients and – especially in summer – with integrated UV protection .
