Thanks everyone but after feedback from my client I choose this option as it has to be very specific. Moisturising ingredients doesn't quite cover it all.

I can\'t think why Adela saw my comments as aggresive. I was simply stating facts.

Time and time again, members are misled by using Google incorrectly.

i.e. moisture = 4,780,000 hits, moisture clowns = 3,380, \" moisture clowns\" = 0

disagree  Dave Greatrix: I don't know where 65,000 came from. "moisture regulating ingredients" = 0 hits, moisture regulating ingredients = 9,850 hits. Google must be used correctly for accuracy. You must have a better PC than me.
