Key Benefits of Eminence Organics Calm Skin Arnica Booster-Serum

 
These are the key benefits you can expect from using Eminence Organics Calm Skin Arnica Booster-Serum:
 

Moisturizer with the Right Occlusivity for Normal Skin

According to CreamScan analysis, Eminence Organics Calm Skin Arnica Booster-Serum is lightly moisturizing, with a moisturizing rating of 2.8 out of 10.

Is it more humectant or occlusive? Rather occlusive. It has a low humectancy of 1.5 out of 10 and a moderate occlusivity of 4.0 out of 10, primarily due to the high content of Hippophae Rhamnoides Oil (est. ≈6.0%).

This type of product, when used as a standalone moisturizer, may provide some occlusive moisturizing that is adequate for normal skin.

 

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

Slight Anti-Wrinkle Efficacy

According to CreamScan analysis, Eminence Organics Calm Skin Arnica Booster-Serum has a slight anti-wrinkle rating of 0.8 out of 10.

It contains one ingredient with proven anti-wrinkle efficacy: Sodium Salicylate (est. ≈0.3%), 
 a sodium salt of salicylic acid, with moderate anti-wrinkle efficacy confirmed by a single clinical study involving 30 participants (Merinville et al.). This study found that a cream containing 1% sodium salicylate reduced the average depth of periorbital wrinkles by 7% after 8 weeks of use, compared to a vehicle (the same formulation without sodium salicylate).
 
Moisturizers, when used regularly, are proven to prevent wrinkle formation and even reduce existing wrinkles. Therefore, this product, like any other moisturizer, can deliver some anti-wrinkle effects through its moisturizing action.
 

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

Rich in Skin-Protecting Antioxidants

We estimate that Eminence Organics Calm Skin Arnica Booster-Serum is rich (> 3%) in antioxidants, specifically Hippophae Rhamnoides Oil (est. ≈6.0%) and Vitis Vinifera (Grape) Seed 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.

Please note that this is not a complete list of benefits. We are in the process of enhancing our AI model to incorporate anti-pigmentation, exfoliation and anti-acne ratings.

Things to Be Aware Of: Eminence Organics Calm Skin Arnica Booster-Serum

 
CreamScan AI identified a few things to consider before adding Eminence Organics Calm Skin Arnica Booster-Serum to your skincare routine:
 

If It’s Your Only Moisturizer, It’s Better When Paired with Some Humectants

An ideal moisturizer for any skin type should balance the right level of occlusivity (depending on skin type) with a significant amount of humectants, while Eminence Organics Calm Skin Arnica Booster-Serum contains a low level of humectants.

People with normal skin would definitely benefit from adding more humectants to their moisturizing routine beyond what this product offers. If this is your only moisturizer, it may be worth including a humectant-rich product, such as a serum, in your skincare routine.

Pros & Cons of Eminence Organics Calm Skin Arnica Booster-Serum
