Is it more humectant or occlusive? Significantly more humectant. It has a low occlusivity of 1.5 out of 10 and a very high humectancy of 8.6 out of 10, primarily due to the high content of Propylene Glycol (est. ≈6.0%) and Glycerin (est. ≈2.0%).

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

Anti-wrinkle efficacy

According to CreamScan analysis, Indeed Labs Mineral Booster Serum has a zero anti-wrinkle rating.

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