How moisturizing is it?

Is it more humectant or occlusive? Rather occlusive. It has a low humectancy of 2.1 out of 10 and a moderate occlusivity of 4.2 out of 10, due to the high content of Hexyldecyl Laurate (est. ≈6.0%) and Butyrospermum Parkii (Shea) Butter (est. ≈2.5%).

Antioxidant benefits

We estimate that fresh Sugar Lychee Body Lotion is rich (> 3%) in antioxidants, specifically Calendula Officinalis 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.

Skin soothing

Based on the ingredient list analysis, fresh Sugar Lychee Body Lotion is rich (> 5%) in soothing ingredients, particularly Calendula Officinalis 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.
