How moisturizing is it?

Intensely moisturizing: Epionce Renewal Lite Facial Lotion has a moisturizing rating of 8.6 out of 10.

Is it more humectant or occlusive? Rather humectant. It has a maximum humectancy of 10 out of 10, primarily due to the substantial concentration of Butylene Glycol (est. ≈9.0%) and Glycerin (est. ≈2.5%), and a high occlusivity of 7.3 out of 10, mainly due to the significant content of Carthamus Tinctorius (Safflower) Seed Oil (est. ≈6.0%) and Limnanthes Alba (Meadowfoam) Seed Oil (est. ≈4.0%).

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

Antioxidant benefits

We estimate that Epionce Renewal Lite Facial Lotion is rich (> 3%) in antioxidants, specifically Carthamus Tinctorius (Safflower) Seed Oil (est. ≈6.0%).

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.
