It has zero Humectancy (we didn't find any humectant ingredients on the ingredient list) and a maximum Occlusivity of 10 out of 10, primarily due to the high content of Carthamus Tinctorius (Safflower) Seed Oil (est. ≈45.0%), Cocos Nucifera (Coconut) Oil (est. ≈11.0%) and Passiflora Edulis Seed Oil (est. ≈4.0%).

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

Antioxidant benefits

We estimate that OSEA Anti-Aging Body Balm is rich (> 3%) in antioxidants, specifically Carthamus Tinctorius (Safflower) Seed Oil (est. ≈45.0%), Passiflora Edulis Seed Oil (est. ≈4.0%) and Euterpe Oleracea Fruit 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.
