Nordic Mallow: A botanical extract known for its powerful soothing and moisturizing properties. It helps to keep dry, sensitive skin feeling calm and comfortable.

Glycerin: A classic humectant that draws moisture into the skin, providing an essential layer of hydration.

This product contains fragrance and natural oils. If you have very sensitive skin or known sensitivities, please review the full ingredient list.

The 2nd's Recommendation: For external use only. A patch test is always a good idea when trying a new product.

This is a fantastic moisturizer because it provides the serious hydration that dry skin needs but still feels surprisingly lightweight and comfortable. It creates a great, smooth base for your skin that feels protected all day. For the best results, apply it to your skin when it's still slightly damp after washing your face; this helps to lock in an extra layer of moisture.

A crisp, clean, and invigorating scent with notes of citrus, cedar, and sage.

What makes this moisturizer specifically good for dry skin?
This formula is rich in emollients like Jojoba and Olive oils, which are excellent at conditioning the skin and reinforcing its natural barrier. A stronger barrier is better at holding onto moisture and protecting itself from the elements, which is exactly what dry skin needs.

How is this different from the Atwater "Oil Regulator" moisturizer?
They are formulated for opposite skin concerns. The Oil Regulator moisturizer contains salicylic acid and oil-absorbing ingredients to control shine and clarify oily skin. This Heavy Armor moisturizer is focused on deep hydration, using richer oils and barrier-strengthening ingredients to nourish and protect dry skin.

Can I use this if my skin is only dry in the winter?
Absolutely. It's a great moisturizer to switch to during the colder, drier months when even normal or combination skin can feel tight and dehydrated.
