How moisturizing is it?

Highly moisturizing: Manly Pro Rich Moisture Cream has a moisturizing rating of 6.6 out of 10.

Is it more humectant or occlusive? This product has relatively comparable levels of humectancy and occlusivity: a high humectancy of 7.1 out of 10, primarily due to the substantial concentration of Glycerin (est. ≈2.0%), and a high occlusivity of 6.2 out of 10, mainly due to the significant content of Ethylhexyl Olivate (est. ≈6.0%) and Coffea Arabica (Coffee) Seed Oil (est. ≈3.0%).

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

Antioxidant benefits

We estimate that Manly Pro Rich Moisture Cream is rich (> 3%) in antioxidants, specifically Coffea Arabica (Coffee) Seed Oil (est. ≈3.0%).

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.
