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. ≈22.0%) and Phellinus Baumii Extract (est. ≈6.0%), and a maximum occlusivity of 10 out of 10, solely because of the significant content of Cocos Nucifera (Coconut) Oil (est. ≈50.0%).

Antioxidant benefits

We estimate that Carina Organics Daily Face Moisturizer is rich (> 3%) in antioxidants, specifically Phellinus Baumii Extract (est. ≈6.0%) and Musa Sapientum (Banana) Fruit Extract (est. ≈4.0%).

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.

Skin soothing

Based on the ingredient list analysis, Carina Organics Daily Face Moisturizer is rich (> 5%) in soothing ingredients, particularly Chamomilla Recutita (Matricaria) Extract (est. ≈3.0%) and Urtica Dioica (Nettle) Leaf Extract (est. ≈2.0%).

When applied to the skin, compounds of soothing ingredients, such as triglycerides, phospholipids, fatty acids, phenolic compounds, and antioxidants, work together to soothe the skin through various mechanisms: reducing inflammation, promoting wound healing, repairing the skin barrier, and providing antimicrobial and antioxidant activities.
