Results you may expect from using Herbivore Emerald CBD + Adaptogens Deep Moisture Glow Oil:

How moisturizing is it?

Quite moisturizing: Herbivore Emerald CBD + Adaptogens Deep Moisture Glow Oil has a moisturizing rating of 5.8 out of 10.

Is it more humectant or occlusive? Significantly more occlusive. It has a low Humectancy of 1.5 out of 10 and a maximum Occlusivity of 10 out of 10, due to the high content of Squalane (est. ≈45.0%), Limnanthes Alba (Meadowfoam) Seed Oil (est. ≈22.0%) and Cannabis Sativa Seed Oil (est. ≈11.0%).

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

Anti-wrinkle efficacy

According to CreamScan analysis, Herbivore Emerald CBD + Adaptogens Deep Moisture Glow Oil has a zero anti-wrinkle rating.

It contains Melia Azadirachta Leaf Extract, an ingredient marketed as effective in reducing wrinkles. However, the studies supporting the anti-wrinkle claims of Melia Azadirachta Leaf Extract provide insufficient evidence of its efficacy according to CreamScan Research Evaluation Standards. Therefore, this ingredient does not generate 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 some anti-wrinkle effects through its moisturizing action.

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

Antioxidant benefits

We estimate that Herbivore Emerald CBD + Adaptogens Deep Moisture Glow Oil is rich (> 3%) in antioxidants, specifically Borago Officinalis Extract (est. ≈1.5%), Cannabidiol (est. ≈1.0%), Tocopheryl Acetate (est. ≈0.3%), 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.
