Waterless skincare: and its benefits in the age of moisture-locking products

In a time and age when moisture locking skincare products are on the rise, it is interesting to note that waterless skincare also exists. It is a beauty skincare product formulae where the product does not have any traces of water in its final output. It is an absolute myth if one understands that these products are completely devoid of water, rather these have a base other than water, and that is what makes it waterless.

How waterless skincare can benefit your skin?

The main difference between other skincare products and waterless skincare products lies in the base of the products. The latter is made up of ingredients like oils, butters, waxes or extracts. This means that the final product will not have a water base but rather oil-based or powder-based.

There are few major benefits of waterless skincare products which make it a reliable product in the industry and among the consumers. First, in the absence of water, there is no risk of microbial growth and thus, the product doesn’t have chemical preservatives. Second, with more concentrated ingredients used in the making of the product, its shelf –life is increased. Third, they are packaged well without the risk of any damage due to leakage. Fourth, with less water usage, it doesn’t strain on using water and relives the environment on that front at least. Basic products like skin balms, face oils, serums, powder –based cleansers, solid shampoo and conditioner bars, body lotions etc, fall under the category of waterless products.

Who should opt for waterless skincare?

Waterless Skincare may or may not benefit everybody. But due to its basic properties it is one of the most preferred products to carry when going on a vacation or backpacking trip. Due to their light-weight packaging and smaller size, they easily fit into travel bags without occupying much space. Moreover, due to no water, the chances of any accidental leakages are also prevented. Those consumers who prefer to use concentrated products, waterless skincare should be their go-to skin regimen. Further, dry or sensitive skin often needs oil –retention more than water-retention and thus, waterless skincare products can come as bliss for them.
