Is this Macadamia & Avocado shower gel suitable for dry or easily dehydrated skin? — "Macadamia & Avocado" Shower Gel, 280 ml - Organic Shop Natura Siberica

This shower gel is designed for people who find that ordinary body washes leave their skin feeling tight or rough. The formula combines a foaming cleansing base with organic macadamia oil, organic avocado oil and glycerin. Macadamia oil is rich in fatty acids that help reduce the feeling of dryness on the skin surface, while avocado oil contains lipids and naturally occurring vitamins that help soften the outer layer. Glycerin helps attract water to the upper layers of the skin, which adds a more hydrated feel during washing.

That combination makes it a reasonable choice for normal, dry or seasonally dehydrated skin, especially in colder weather or after exercise, when skin may need a gentler cleanser. It is not a moisturizer, though. If your skin is very dry, you may still want to apply a body lotion or cream after patting yourself dry, because a rinse-off product cannot replace a leave-on moisturizer.

The product contains fragrance components, so if your skin is very reactive or sensitive to fragrance, it is wise to patch test on a small area before using it all over. Avoid contact with the eyes. If irritation appears, stop using it. It is a cosmetic cleansing product, not a treatment for skin conditions.
