How moisturizing is it?

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, primarily due to the substantial concentration of Glycerin (est. ≈50.0%) and Sodium Hyaluronate (est. ≈2.5%), and a maximum occlusivity of 10 out of 10, solely because of the significant content of Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride (est. ≈22.0%).

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

Antioxidant benefits

We estimate that Embryolisse HydraCream Light Hyaluronic Acid Moisturising Cream is rich (> 3%) in antioxidants, specifically Sodium Hyaluronate (est. ≈2.5%) and Nymphaea Alba Flower Extract (est. ≈2.0%).

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.
