Once upon a time, in a small village nested deep in the woods, there lived a very scary witch. The villagers had heard numerous terrifying tales about her, but no one had ever dared to venture into her domain. They believed that she possessed dark magic and could cast spells on anyone who crossed her path. Rumors whispered that the witch had a crooked nose, tangled black hair, and eyes that glowed with an eerie green light. It was said that she lived in a crumbling old cottage at the edge of the village, surrounded by a dense thicket of thorny brambles and overgrown weeds. One fateful evening, as darkness blanketed the village, a brave young girl named Lily decided to investigate the rumors for herself.

This product can help improve hydration of the skin with the two types of ingredients.
The first type is called “humectants”:
these ingredients help attract water. When humectants are on the surface of the skin, they “pull in” the moisture from the outside environment, or from within deeper layers of the skin. The following ingredients in this product do the job: glycerin.
This product also contains ingredients called “occlusives”. They help reduce the speed with which our skin loses moisture to the outside environment. These ingredients also help soften the upper layer of the skin, so it feels less tight and nicer to the touch. The following ingredients in this product do the job: butyrospermum parkii butter, caprylic/capric triglyceride.
sesamum indicum seed oil 0.05% - 0.25% Irritation risk: Concentration:A good moisturizing plant oil. Due to the high linoleic acid content, it helps soften the upper layer of the skin, reduce water loss and support skin barrier function
butyrospermum parkii butter 1.9% - 2.9% Irritation risk:Comedogenicity: High
Concentration:A great moisturising ingredient that softens the skin and reduces water loss from its upper layer. It also can be helpful in protecting skin from free radicals
caprylic/capric triglyceride 1.1% - 1.6% Irritation risk: Concentration:A good mix of fatty acids that forms a protective layer on the skin. Improves the shelf life of products. Derived from coconut and glycerin

emblica officinalis fruit extract 0.01% - 0.05% Irritation risk: Concentration:A plant extract that might be helping in neutralizing free radicals in skin. It could help reduce hyperpigmentation. There is some research to confirm its effectiveness in skin

The moon cast an eerie glow on the dilapidated structure, making it appear even more ominous. A cold wind rustled the leaves, creating an eerie symphony that sent shivers down her spine. Summoning all of her courage, Lily pushed open the creaky door and stepped inside. The air inside the cottage was heavy with an indefinable scent, a mixture of herbal potions and aged wood. The flickering candlelight barely illuminated the room, casting eerie shadows on the walls. Suddenly, a croaky voice echoed through the darkness, causing Lily's heart to skip a beat. "Who dares to enter my domain?" the voice hissed. Lily's knees trembled, but she summoned her courage and answered, "It is I, Lily, a curious traveler seeking the truth about the stories that surround you." The witch emerged from the shadows, her twisted fingers clutching a broomstick. Her eyes glowed like emerald fire, but Lily met her gaze without flinching. The witch studied Lily for a moment before breaking into a toothy grin. "Curiosity is a powerful thing, child. But be warned, for my magic is not to be trifled with." Expecting the worst, Lily braced herself for a spell or worse. But to her surprise, the witch's face softened as she spoke, her voice now gentle and wise. "The stories you've heard about me are nothing more than tales spun by the fearful villagers. I may be a witch, but my powers are used for good. I protect this village from the true evil that lurks in the darkness." Lily listened in amazement as the witch recounted her many acts of heroism to safeguard the villagers from malevolent beings that threatened their way of life. She spoke of selflessness, sacrifice, and the kinship she shared with the inhabitants of the village. With newfound respect and admiration, Lily bid the witch farewell and left the cottage. She returned to the village with a changed perspective, spreading the true story of the scary witch who possessed a heart of gold. From that day forward, the villagers looked at the mysterious witch with newfound understanding, grateful for her presence in their lives. And so, the scary witch story became a tale not of fear but of the untold bravery and compassion that lied in the heart of an enchantress. And in the village, she was forever remembered as their protector, their guardian against the darkness that haunted the woods..
