🔵🔵 Suitable Moisturizer for Normal Skin with a Balanced Texture, Neither Too Light nor Too Heavy

According to CreamScan analysis, Alchimie Forever Rejuvenating Eye Balm is quite moisturizing, with a moisturizing rating of 4.5 out of 10.

Is it more humectant or occlusive? This product has relatively comparable levels of humectancy and occlusivity: a moderate humectancy of 4.6 out of 10, primarily due to the substantial concentration of Glycerin (est. ≈4.0%), and a moderate occlusivity of 4.4 out of 10, mainly due to the high content of Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride (est. ≈6.0%) and Theobroma Cacao (Cocoa) Seed Butter (est. ≈2.5%).

This type of moisturizer is suitable for people with normal skin who want essential hydration in a formula with a balanced texture - neither too light nor too heavy. It combines a moderate amount of humectants and occlusive ingredients to provide dual-action moisturizing for normal skin.

🍀 Rich in Skin-Protecting Antioxidants

We estimate that Alchimie Forever Rejuvenating Eye Balm is rich (> 3%) in antioxidants, specifically Medicago Sativa (Alfalfa) Extract (est. ≈3.0%).

A key benefit of antioxidants is their ability to reduce oxidative stress caused by free radicals and therefore prevent accelerated skin aging. Studies also show that antioxidants can protect against environmental damage such as UV radiation and pollution, and help reduce inflammation and skin redness.

📌 Please note that this is not a complete list of benefits. We are in the process of enhancing our model to incorporate anti-pigmentation, exfoliation and anti-acne ratings.
