How moisturizing is it?

Intensely moisturizing: Gigi Multi-Complex Premium Hemp Oil has a moisturizing rating of 8.0 out of 10.

Is it more humectant or occlusive? Rather occlusive. It has a high humectancy of 6.0 out of 10, solely because of the significant content of Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Extract (est. ≈6.0%), and a maximum occlusivity of 10 out of 10, primarily due to the substantial concentration of Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride (est. ≈45.0%) and Cannabis Sativa Seed Oil (est. ≈22.0%).

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

Antioxidant benefits

We estimate that Gigi Multi-Complex Premium Hemp Oil is rich (> 3%) in antioxidants, specifically Cannabidiol (est. ≈11.0%), Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Extract (est. ≈6.0%), Calendula Officinalis Flower Extract (est. ≈3.0%), and others.

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, Gigi Multi-Complex Premium Hemp Oil is rich (> 5%) in soothing ingredients, particularly Cannabidiol (est. ≈11.0%), Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Extract (est. ≈6.0%), Calendula Officinalis Flower Extract (est. ≈3.0%), and others.

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.

Arnica Montana Flower Extract
Est. %4
Function

An extract derived from the flower heads of the mountain arnica plant. This plant is used as herbal medicine to treat wounds, bruises, and inflammation. In skincare, however, it is mostly added for fragrance purposes due to its pleasant pine and sage odor.

Fragrance
Est. %0.3

A plant-based fragrant compound that occurs in sweet-smelling grass, sweet woodruff, and sweet clover. It has a sweet and vanilla-like scent in high concentrations and a similar scent to freshly mowed grass in low concentrations.
