Does COOLA Dew Good Illuminating Body Melt Lotion SPF 40 work?

Based on the ingredient list analysis by CreamScan AI, these are the key benefits you can expect from using COOLA Dew Good Illuminating Body Melt Lotion SPF 40:

  • Significant moisturizing. It has a moisturizing rating of 7.6 out of 10.
  • Soothing: COOLA Dew Good Illuminating Body Melt Lotion SPF 40 contains a high concentration of soothing ingredients, which may help to reduce irritation and calm the skin.
  • Antioxidant protection.
  • High sun protection for extended outdoor activities and exposure.

How moisturizing is it?

Highly moisturizing: COOLA Dew Good Illuminating Body Melt Lotion SPF 40 has a moisturizing rating of 7.6 out of 10.

Is it more humectant or occlusive? Significantly more humectant. It has a maximum humectancy of 10 out of 10, primarily due to the substantial concentration of Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Juice (est. ≈60.0%), and a moderate occlusivity of 5.2 out of 10, mainly due to the high content of Carthamus Tinctorius (Safflower) Oleosomes (est. ≈6.0%) and Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride (est. ≈2.0%).

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

Anti-wrinkle efficacy

According to CreamScan analysis, COOLA Dew Good Illuminating Body Melt Lotion SPF 40 has a zero anti-wrinkle rating.

It contains Lactobacillus Ferment, an ingredient marketed as effective in reducing wrinkles. However, the studies supporting the anti-wrinkle claims of Lactobacillus Ferment provide insufficient evidence of its efficacy according to CreamScan Research Evaluation Standards. Therefore, this ingredient does not generate 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 some anti-wrinkle effects through its moisturizing action.

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

Antioxidant benefits

We estimate that COOLA Dew Good Illuminating Body Melt Lotion SPF 40 is rich (> 3%) in antioxidants, specifically Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Juice (est. ≈60.0%) and Carthamus Tinctorius (Safflower) Oleosomes (est. ≈6.0%).

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, COOLA Dew Good Illuminating Body Melt Lotion SPF 40 is rich (> 5%) in soothing ingredients, particularly Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Juice (est. ≈60.0%).

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.

Sun protection

COOLA Dew Good Illuminating Body Melt Lotion SPF 40 has an SPF of 40 and provides high sun protection. This level of protection is ideal for activities such as spending time at the beach, outdoor sports, or other activities involving prolonged sun exposure. It's important to apply sunscreen generously and reapply every two hours or after swimming or sweating to maintain effectiveness.
