  • Intense moisturizing. It has a moisturizing rating of 10.0 out of 10.
  • Little anti-wrinkle effect: Grounded Sage Raw Radiance Facial Moisturizers has an anti-wrinkle rating of 1.0 out of 10, so you may expect a positive, although insignificant, effect on wrinkles.

How moisturizing is it?

Maximum hydration: Grounded Sage Raw Radiance Facial Moisturizers has the highest possible moisturizing rating of 10.0 out of 10.

Is it more humectant or occlusive? This is one of the most moisturizing products on the market, with a maximum humectancy of 10 out of 10, primarily due to the substantial concentration of Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Juice (est. ≈65.0%) and Hyaluronic Acid (est. ≈2.5%), and a maximum occlusivity of 10 out of 10, mainly due to the significant content of Simmondsia Chinensis (Jojoba) Seed Oil (est. ≈9.0%) and Argania Spinosa Kernel Oil (est. ≈6.0%).

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

Anti-wrinkle efficacy

According to CreamScan analysis, Grounded Sage Raw Radiance Facial Moisturizers has a minimal anti-wrinkle rating of 1.0 out of 10.

It contains 2 active ingredients with proven anti-wrinkle efficacy:
    • Ascorbyl Tetraisopalmitate (est. ≈0.3%),
       the only derivative of Ascorbic acid with confirmed anti-wrinkle efficacy. This ingredient has below-average efficacy, proven by one study.
    • Niacinamide (est. ≈0.3%),
       one of the most effective and well-researched anti-wrinkle ingredients.
Among others, Grounded Sage Raw Radiance Facial Moisturizers also contains Camellia Sinensis Leaf Extract, an ingredient marketed as effective in reducing wrinkles. However, the studies supporting the anti-wrinkle claims of Camellia Sinensis Leaf Extract provide insufficient evidence of its efficacy according to CreamScan Research Evaluation Standards. Therefore, this ingredient does not contribute to 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, could deliver additional anti-wrinkle efficacy through its moisturizing action.
 

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

Antioxidant benefits

We estimate that Grounded Sage Raw Radiance Facial Moisturizers is rich (> 3%) in antioxidants, specifically Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Juice (est. ≈65.0%), Argania Spinosa Kernel Oil (est. ≈6.0%), Vitis Vinifera (Grape) Seed Oil (est. ≈4.0%), 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, Grounded Sage Raw Radiance Facial Moisturizers is rich (> 5%) in soothing ingredients, particularly Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Juice (est. ≈65.0%).

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.
