🔵🔵 Well-Suited Moisturizer for Normal to Dry Skin

According to CreamScan analysis, ANTIPODES Joyful Hand And Body Cream is highly moisturizing, with a moisturizing rating of 6.4 out of 10.

Is it more humectant or occlusive? This product has relatively comparable levels of humectancy and occlusivity: a high humectancy of 6.0 out of 10, entirely due to the substantial concentration of Glycerin (est. ≈6.0%), and a high occlusivity of 6.9 out of 10, primarily due to the significant content of Simmondsia Chinensis (Jojoba) Seed Oil (est. ≈9.0%).

This type of moisturizer is well-suited for people with normal skin who want significant hydration in a rich yet not overly thick formula. It combines a significant amount of humectants and occlusive ingredients to provide effective dual-action moisturizing.

The product’s occlusive profile 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.

This product may also be a good choice for people with dry (but not very dry) skin for daily hydration, as it strikes a balance between significant moisturizing potential and a texture that is not too thick.

Please refer to the Ratings section below for details of the moisturizing rating calculation.
