Full Ingredient List (INCI):
According to CreamScan analysis, ananne Equilibrium Light 24H Cream is highly moisturizing, with a moisturizing rating of 6.0 out of 10.
Is it more humectant or occlusive? Rather occlusive. It has a moderate humectancy of 4.8 out of 10, primarily due to the substantial concentration of Pentylene Glycol (est. ≈3.0%), and a high occlusivity of 7.2 out of 10, mainly due to the significant content of Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride (est. ≈6.0%) and Rosa Canina Fruit Oil (est. ≈4.0%).
This type of product, when used as a standalone moisturizer, may provide a significant level of occlusive hydration that is adequate for normal to dry skin.
The occlusive profile of ananne Equilibrium Light 24H Cream suggests a texture that is rich and creamy but not overly thick, offering the potential to absorb into the skin without leaving a greasy afterfeel in most cases.
Please refer to the Ratings section below for details of the moisturizing rating calculation.
📌 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.
An ideal moisturizer for any skin type should balance the right level of occlusivity (depending on skin type) with a significant amount of humectants, while ananne Equilibrium Light 24H Cream contains a moderate level of humectants.
People with normal to dry skin would definitely benefit from adding more humectants to their moisturizing routine beyond what this product offers. If this is your only moisturizer, it may be worth including a humectant-rich product, such as a serum, in your skincare routine.

The most occlusive product possible is 100% petrolatum (hello Vaseline Jelly). According to studies, however, even 10% petrolatum can achieve almost the same mosturizing effect.
The occlusive properties of petrolatum are at least twice as superior as other occlusive ingredients. This is why, in order to match the moisturizing efficacy of 10% petrolatum, a product needs to contain at least 20% of other occlusives.
Our benchmark for maximum Occlusivity is 20 (and the petrolatum score is always doubled).

The most occlusive product possible is 100% petrolatum (hello Vaseline Jelly). According to studies, hovewer, even 10% petrolatum can achieve almost the same mosturizing effect. The occlusive properties of petrolatum are at least twice as superior as other occlusive ingredients. This is why, in order to match the moisturizing efficacy of 10% petrolatum, a product needs to contain at least 20% of other occlusives. Our benchmark for maximum Occlusivity is 20 (and the petrolatum score is always doubled). The most occlusive product possible is 100% petrolatum (hello Vaseline Jelly).
