This cream's own emollients (evening primrose oil, beeswax) partially offset that, which is one reason it can outperform a purely humectant-based gel in AC-heavy days.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/details\u003e\n\u003c\/article\u003e","brand":"Adilsons Beauty","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53258666377397,"sku":null,"price":1150.0,"currency_code":"MUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0581\/4163\/8837\/files\/XXL_p0175429826.webp?v=1789204273"}],"url":"https:\/\/adilsons.mu\/collections\/genabelle-collection.oembed","provider":"Adilsons","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
