How moisturizing is it?

Slightly moisturizing: Dr. Hauschka Sensitive Care Conditioner has a moisturizing rating of 0.6 out of 10.

Is it more humectant or occlusive? This product is purely humectant, but with a low Humectancy of 1.3 out of 10. It has zero Occlusivity as we didn't find any occlusive ingredients on the ingredient list.

Tip: Studies suggest that humectants alone do not moisturize the skin. We recommend applying a product with some occlusive ingredients after the use of this one.

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

Antioxidant benefits

We estimate that Dr. Hauschka Sensitive Care Conditioner is rich (> 3%) in antioxidants, specifically Borago Officinalis Extract (est. ≈1.0%), Chamomilla Recutita (Matricaria) Flower Extract (est. ≈1.0%), Rosa Canina Fruit Extract (est. ≈1.0%), 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.
