How do the micro-oils and silk proteins in this cream differ from ordinary moisturising ingredients?

In most hand creams the main work is done either by occlusives (which form a film) or by humectants (which attract water). This cream puts the emphasis on two other types of ingredients.

Micro-oils spread in a thin layer and act like a light protective veil: they reduce moisture evaporation from the skin's surface, soften it and lessen the feeling of tightness, the very one that appears after washing hands, spending a long time in the cold or contact with household chemicals. Thanks to their thin texture they do not leave a heavy greasy trace, which matters if you need to apply the cream throughout the day.

Silk proteins work differently: they are known for a smoothing effect on the surface of the skin. This is especially noticeable on rough areas, such as the fingertips and the zones around the cuticle, where the skin becomes uneven and rough. The proteins help the surface look more even and feel more pleasant to the touch.

The combination of these two ingredients means that the cream works both on retaining moisture and on skin texture, without the need for separate products for each task. This makes it a convenient choice for daily use in situations where the skin of the hands is under frequent strain.
