Does ECOOKING Multi Balm work?

Based on the ingredient list analysis by CreamScan AI, these are the key benefits you can expect from using ECOOKING Multi Balm:

  • Significant moisturizing. It has a moisturizing rating of 6.2 out of 10.
  • Antioxidant protection.

How moisturizing is it?

Highly moisturizing: ECOOKING Multi Balm has a moisturizing rating of 6.2 out of 10.

Is it more humectant or occlusive? Significantly more occlusive. It has a low Humectancy of 2.4 out of 10 and a maximum Occlusivity of 10 out of 10, primarily due to the high content of Butyrospermum Parkii (Shea) Butter (est. ≈45.0%), Ricinus Communis (Castor) Seed Oil (est. ≈11.0%) and Prunus Amygdalus Dulcis (Sweet Almond) Oil (est. ≈6.0%).

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

Anti-wrinkle efficacy

According to CreamScan analysis, ECOOKING Multi Balm has a zero anti-wrinkle rating.

It contains Ascorbyl Palmitate and Pseudoalteromonas Ferment 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.

Antioxidant benefits

We estimate that ECOOKING Multi Balm is rich (> 3%) in antioxidants, specifically Olea Europaea (Olive) Fruit Oil (est. ≈3.0%).

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.
