Is it more humectant or occlusive? Significantly more occlusive. It has a moderate humectancy of 3.3 out of 10, primarily due to the substantial concentration of Glycerin (est. ≈3.0%), and a very high occlusivity of 8.2 out of 10, mainly due to the significant content of Cocos Nucifera (Coconut) Oil (est. ≈9.0%) and Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride (est. ≈6.0%).

This type of product, when used as a standalone moisturizer, can deliver a substantial level of occlusive hydration that is adequate for dry skin. The occlusive profile of Capri Blue Aloha Orchid Lotion suggests a rich, thick texture, making it perfectly suited for dry skin.

Things to Be Aware Of: Capri Blue Aloha Orchid Lotion

 
CreamScan identified a few things to consider before adding Capri Blue Aloha Orchid Lotion to your skincare routine:
 

⚠️ Best for Dry Skin - May Be Too Thick for Other Skin Types

With high occlusivity, this product is optimal for dry skin but may be too thick for combination and especially oily skin. Even on normal skin, it can feel too rich depending on the quantity applied, the environment, and individual preferences.

If you have oily, combination, or normal skin and are considering purchasing this product for the first time, it might be a good idea to try a sample before buying.

⚠️ Needs to Be Paired with Extra Humectants for Optimal Moisturizing Efficacy

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 Capri Blue Aloha Orchid Lotion contains a relatively low level of humectants.

People with 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.

Pros & Cons of Capri Blue Aloha Orchid Lotion

 
Here’s an overview of the pros and cons of Capri Blue Aloha Orchid Lotion to help you decide if it’s the right choice for your skincare routine:
 

🟩 Pros:

, as a moisturizer, provides a substantial level of occlusive hydration that is adequate for dry skin, delivered in a rich, thick texture.
