How moisturizing is it?

Intensely moisturizing: Lush Light Touch has a moisturizing rating of 8.2 out of 10.

Is it more humectant or occlusive? Rather occlusive. It has a high humectancy of 6.3 out of 10, primarily due to the substantial concentration of Chondrus Crispus Extract (est. ≈6.0%), and a maximum occlusivity of 10 out of 10, mainly due to the significant content of Shorea Stenoptera Seed Butter (est. ≈45.0%) and Garcinia Indica Seed Butter (est. ≈11.0%).

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

Antioxidant benefits

We estimate that Lush Light Touch is rich (> 3%) in antioxidants, specifically Vitis Vinifera (Grape) Seed Oil (est. ≈2.0%).

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.
