  • Moderate moisturizing. It has a moisturizing rating of 5.9 out of 10.

How moisturizing is it?

Quite moisturizing: Bloom Effects Tulip Nectar Skin Repair has a moisturizing rating of 5.9 out of 10.

Is it more humectant or occlusive? Significantly more occlusive. It has a low Humectancy of 1.8 out of 10 and a maximum Occlusivity of 10 out of 10, primarily due to the high content of Carthamus Tinctorius (Safflower) Seed Oil (est. ≈40.0%), Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride (est. ≈22.0%) and Butyrospermum Parkii (Shea) Butter (est. ≈4.0%).

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

Anti-wrinkle efficacy

According to CreamScan analysis, Bloom Effects Tulip Nectar Skin Repair has a slight anti-wrinkle rating of 3.0 out of 10. It contains one ingredient with proven anti-wrinkle efficacy: Asiaticoside (est. ≈0.3%), 
 derived from the plant Centella asiatica, an ingredient with moderate anti-wrinkle efficacy confirmed by one study.
 
Among others, Bloom Effects Tulip Nectar Skin Repair also contains contains Asiatic Acid and Madecassic Acid, two ingredients marketed as effective in reducing wrinkles. However, the studies supporting the anti-wrinkle claims of these ingredients provide insufficient evidence of efficacy according to CreamScan Research Evaluation Standards. Therefore, these ingredients do not contribute to the anti-wrinkle rating.
 
Moisturizers, when used regularly, are proven to prevent wrinkle formation and even reduce existing wrinkles. Therefore, this product, like any other moisturizer, could deliver additional anti-wrinkle efficacy through its moisturizing action.
 

Please refer to the Ratings section below for details of the anti-wrinkle rating calculation.

Antioxidant benefits

We estimate that Bloom Effects Tulip Nectar Skin Repair is rich (> 3%) in antioxidants, specifically Carthamus Tinctorius (Safflower) Seed Oil (est. ≈40.0%).

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.
