a clear gel made of about 98 to 99 percent water, plus polysaccharides, vitamins, minerals, and antioxidant compounds. When applied topically, it:
Helps hydration: The gel forms a light layer that helps reduce water loss from the skin surface, known as transepidermal water loss.
Soothes: It has a cooling effect that many people find calming after sun exposure or dryness.
Supports barrier: By improving moisture content, it helps skin feel more elastic and supple.
Lightweight texture: Unlike heavy oils, it absorbs quickly and does not clog pores for most people.
