Natural moisturizers are much more straight-forward products. Most natural moisturizers and organic moisturizers are designed to prevent the loss of hydration while boosting moisture. Several varieties of natural and organic moisturizers use specific hydrating ingredients to drive the actives in a natural serum deeper into the skin to provide the best possible results. An organic moisturizer will use only non-synthetic ingredients and botanicals from an organic farm, where a natural moisturizer will still use botanicals, but will include certain safe FDA-approved synthetics to improve the product’s texture and thickness.

Essential oils such as jojoba seed, grape seed and sweet almond oils are found in natural moisturizers. A more efficient hydrator found in natural moisturizers is plant-derived hyaluronic acid, which can carry more than 1,000 times its weight in water. The natural moisturizer is a great daytime product, intended to be used after the natural serum, but before the natural sunscreen.
