Very Rich Moisturizer Perfect for Dry to Very Dry Skin

According to CreamScan analysis, Benamor Cream is exceptionally moisturizing, with the highest possible moisturizing rating of 10.0 out of 10.

Is it more humectant or occlusive? This is one of the most moisturizing products on the market, with a maximum humectancy of 10 out of 10, entirely due to the substantial concentration of Glycerin (est. ≈45.0%), and a maximum occlusivity of 10 out of 10, solely because of the significant content of Stearic Acid (est. ≈22.0%).
