How does this moisturizer help hydrate without feeling heavy?

Is this product safe for sensitive or combination skin?

The moisturizer is formulated without parabens, phthalates, and mineral oil, and combines fair-trade shea butter with African black soap-inspired ingredients to support balance in combination skin. Patch-test if you have specific sensitivities, as individual reactions can vary.

• Gentle enough for daily use on sensitive areas when patch-tested
• Designed to help balance oily and dry zones without stripping moisture

What are the key ingredients and their role?
