Key Benefits of Lush Dream Cream Self-Preserving Body Lotion

 
These are the key benefits you can expect from using Lush Dream Cream Self-Preserving Body Lotion:
 

Lightweight Moisturizer Well-Suited for Combination and Oily Skin

According to CreamScan analysis, Lush Dream Cream Self-Preserving Body Lotion is quite moisturizing, with a moisturizing rating of 4.8 out of 10.

Is it more humectant or occlusive? Rather humectant. It has a high humectancy of 6.0 out of 10, solely because of the significant content of Glycerin (est. ≈6.0%), and a moderate occlusivity of 3.5 out of 10, entirely due to the substantial concentration of Theobroma Cacao (Cocoa) Seed Butter (est. ≈4.0%) and Stearic Acid (est. ≈3.0%).

This type of moisturizer is well-suited for people with combination and oily skin who want significant hydration in a relatively lightweight, non-greasy formula. It combines a substantial amount of humectants with a limited amount of occlusive to enhance moisturizing efficacy without feeling too heavy.

This product may also be an option for people with normal skin who prefer fast-absorbing textures, as it balances significant moisturizing potential with a relatively lightweight texture.

A Humectant Enhancement for Any Skincare Routine

But it’s not limited to combination and oily skin - such a humectant enhancement will also positively contribute to the moisturizing efficacy of any skincare routine when used as a step before applying the main moisturizer. This type of formulation is typically used in serums, where a light, fast-absorbing texture is key.

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