  • Moderate moisturizing. It has a moisturizing rating of 5.6 out of 10.

How moisturizing is it?

Quite moisturizing: Dr.Ceuracle Vegan Kombucha Tea Lip Balm has a moisturizing rating of 5.6 out of 10.

Is it more humectant or occlusive? Significantly more occlusive. It has a low Humectancy of 1.2 out of 10 and a maximum Occlusivity of 10 out of 10, primarily due to the high content of Squalane (est. ≈22.0%), Phytosteryl/Isostearyl/Cetyl/Stearyl/Behenyl Dimer Dilinoleate (est. ≈3.0%) and Synthetic Wax (est. ≈2.0%).

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

Anti-wrinkle efficacy

According to CreamScan analysis, Dr.Ceuracle Vegan Kombucha Tea Lip Balm has a zero anti-wrinkle rating.

It contains Melia Azadirachta Leaf Extract and Camellia Sinensis Leaf Extract, 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 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.
