How moisturizing is it?

Highly moisturizing: Hunter Lab Hydrating Hand & Body Lotion has a moisturizing rating of 7.6 out of 10.

Is it more humectant or occlusive? Significantly more humectant. It has a very high humectancy of 9.6 out of 10, primarily due to the substantial concentration of Glycerin (est. ≈4.0%) and Urea (est. ≈2.0%), and a moderate occlusivity of 5.7 out of 10, mainly due to the significant content of Prunus Amygdalus Dulcis (Sweet Almond) Oil (est. ≈9.0%).

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

Anti-wrinkle efficacy

According to CreamScan analysis, Hunter Lab Hydrating Hand & Body Lotion has a zero anti-wrinkle rating.

It contains Gluconolactone, an ingredient marketed as effective in reducing wrinkles. However, the studies supporting the anti-wrinkle claims of Gluconolactone 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.
