How moisturizing is it?

Intensely moisturizing: Cannuka Harmonizing Face Cream has a moisturizing rating of 8.8 out of 10.

Is it more humectant or occlusive? Rather humectant. It has a maximum humectancy of 10 out of 10, primarily due to the substantial concentration of Glycerin (est. ≈6.0%) and Lecithin (est. ≈2.5%), and a high occlusivity of 7.5 out of 10, mainly due to the significant content of Beeswax (est. ≈9.0%) and Stearic Acid (est. ≈4.0%).

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

Antioxidant benefits

We estimate that Cannuka Harmonizing Face Cream is rich (> 3%) in antioxidants, specifically Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Juice (est. ≈1.5%), Tocopheryl Acetate (est. ≈1.3%), Vitis Vinifera (Grape) Seed Oil (est. ≈0.3%), and others.

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.
