Results you may expect from using Hempz Pink Pomelo & Himalayan Sea Salt Herbal Body Moisturizer:

Based on the ingredient analysis by CreamScan, these are the key benefits you can expect from using Hempz Pink Pomelo & Himalayan Sea Salt Herbal Body Moisturizer:

Significant moisturizing. It has a moisturizing rating of 7.0 out of 10.

Little anti-wrinkle effect: Hempz Pink Pomelo & Himalayan Sea Salt Herbal Body Moisturizer has an anti-wrinkle rating of 0.1 out of 10, so you may expect a positive, although insignificant, effect on wrinkles.

How moisturizing is it?

Highly moisturizing: Hempz Pink Pomelo & Himalayan Sea Salt Herbal Body Moisturizer has a moisturizing rating of 7.0 out of 10.

Is it more humectant or occlusive? Significantly more humectant. It has a maximum humectancy of 10 out of 10, primarily due to the substantial concentration of Propanediol (est. ≈9.0%) and Glycerin (est. ≈4.0%), and a moderate occlusivity of 4.1 out of 10, mainly due to the high content of Butyrospermum Parkii (Shea) Butter (est. ≈3.0%) and Dimethicone (est. ≈2.5%).

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

Anti-wrinkle efficacy

According to CreamScan analysis, Hempz Pink Pomelo & Himalayan Sea Salt Herbal Body Moisturizer has a minimal anti-wrinkle rating of 0.1 out of 10. It contains one ingredient with proven anti-wrinkle efficacy: Ascorbic Acid (est. ≈0.3%),

or Vitamin C, a popular anti-wrinkle ingredient, yet with average efficacy confirmed by only one study.

Among others, Hempz Pink Pomelo & Himalayan Sea Salt Herbal Body Moisturizer also contains Retinyl Palmitate, an ingredient marketed as effective in reducing wrinkles. However, the studies supporting the anti-wrinkle claims of Retinyl Palmitate 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.
