Fills in the tiny cracks between skin cells to make everything feel smooth and soft. The "silky finish" ingredient.

Locks In Moisture

Traditional Use

Cod liver oil has been used in traditional European and Scandinavian medicine for centuries, particularly valued for its omega-3 content and historical use as a nutritional supplement and skin healer.
