Key Benefits of Eminence Organics Calm Skin Chamomile Moisturizer

 
These are the key benefits you can expect from using Eminence Organics Calm Skin Chamomile Moisturizer:
 

Moisturizer with the Right Occlusivity for Normal to Dry Skin

According to CreamScan analysis, Eminence Organics Calm Skin Chamomile Moisturizer is lightly moisturizing, with a moisturizing rating of 3.8 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 high Occlusivity of 6.4 out of 10, primarily due to the high content of Hippophae Rhamnoides Oil (est. ≈9.0%).

This type of product, when used as a standalone moisturizer, may provide a significant level of occlusive hydration that is adequate for normal to dry skin.

The occlusive profile of Eminence Organics Calm Skin Chamomile Moisturizer suggests a texture that is rich and creamy but not overly thick, offering the potential to absorb into the skin without leaving a greasy afterfeel in most cases.

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

Rich in Skin-Protecting Antioxidants

We estimate that Eminence Organics Calm Skin Chamomile Moisturizer is rich (> 3%) in antioxidants, specifically Hippophae Rhamnoides Oil (est. ≈9.0%), Calendula Officinalis Flower Extract (est. ≈6.0%) and Vitis Vinifera (Grape) Seed Extract (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.

Skin Soothing and Calming Potential

Based on the ingredient list analysis, Eminence Organics Calm Skin Chamomile Moisturizer is rich (> 5%) in soothing ingredients, particularly Calendula Officinalis Flower Extract (est. ≈6.0%) and Stellaria Media (Chickweed) Extract (est. ≈2.0%).

When applied to the skin, compounds of soothing ingredients, such as triglycerides, phospholipids, fatty acids, phenolic compounds, and antioxidants, work together to soothe the skin through various mechanisms: reducing inflammation, promoting wound healing, repairing the skin barrier, and providing antimicrobial and antioxidant activities.

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 Chamomile Moisturizer

 
CreamScan AI identified a few things to consider before adding Eminence Organics Calm Skin Chamomile Moisturizer to your skincare routine:
 

Needs to Be Paired with Extra Humectants for Optimal Moisturizing Efficacy

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 Chamomile Moisturizer contains a low level of humectants.

People with normal to dry 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.

Questionable anti-wrinkle efficacy

If one of your main reasons for choosing Eminence Organics Calm Skin Chamomile Moisturizer is its potential anti-aging effects, please note that, according to CreamScan analysis, it currently has a zero anti-wrinkle rating.

It contains Calcium Ascorbate, an ingredient often marketed as effective in reducing wrinkles. However, the studies supporting the anti-wrinkle claims of Calcium Ascorbate provide insufficient evidence of its efficacy according to CreamScan Research Evaluation Standards.

While this does not categorically exclude the possibility that Calcium Ascorbate may reduce wrinkles, its efficacy is not supported by convincing, vehicle-controlled, double-blind clinical studies - at least none that were accessible to the CreamScan team at the time of publication.

Therefore, this ingredient does 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, 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.
