Five Ingredients. One Job. Serious Hydration.
Most serums bury the active ingredient under a long list of fillers. Trader Joe's Nourish Hyaluronic Moisture Boost Serum takes the opposite approach: five ingredients, with Sodium Hyaluronate front and center. No fragrance, no unnecessary additives — just a clean, focused formula that creates a protective moisture barrier on your skin and keeps it there.
What's Inside
Skin Type: All skin types — including sensitive, dry, oily, and combination.
Key Actives:
- Sodium Hyaluronate — the salt form of hyaluronic acid; smaller molecular size penetrates deeper into the skin to bind and retain moisture
- Propanediol — plant-derived humectant that enhances ingredient absorption and adds slip to the formula
- Ethylhexylglycerin — skin-conditioning agent that works with Phenoxyethanol to preserve the formula without harsh preservatives
Full Ingredients: Water (Aqua), Propanediol, Sodium Hyaluronate, Phenoxyethanol, Ethylhexylglycerin.
Certifications: Dermatologist Formulated | Suitable For All Skin Types | No Animal Testing.
Net Weight: 1 fl oz (30mL) | SKU #61136
