Key Benefits of Lush Light Touch

 
These are the key benefits you can expect from using Lush Light Touch:
 

🔵🔵🔵 Exceptionally Rich Moisturizer Well-Suited for Dry to Very Dry Skin

According to CreamScan analysis, Lush Light Touch is intensely moisturizing, with 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%).

This type of moisturizer is well-suited for people with dry to very dry skin who want intense hydration. It combines a significant concentration of humectants with an exceptional level of occlusive ingredients to provide effective dual-action moisturizing specifically for dry skin.

The occlusive profile of Lush Light Touch suggests a rich, thick texture, making it perfectly suited for dry skin.

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

🍀 Rich in Skin-Protecting Antioxidants

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.

📌 Please note that this is not a complete list of benefits. We are in the process of enhancing our AI model to incorporate anti-pigmentation, exfoliation and anti-acne ratings.
