Is it more humectant or occlusive? This is one of the most moisturizing products on the market, with a maximum humectancy of 10 out of 10, solely because of the significant content of Undaria Pinnatifida Extract (est. ≈22.0%), and a maximum occlusivity of 10 out of 10, primarily due to the substantial concentration of Helianthus Annuus (Sunflower) Seed Oil (est. ≈50.0%) and Euterpe Oleracea Fruit Oil (est. ≈11.0%).

Antioxidant benefits

We estimate that OSEA Undaria Algae Body Oil is rich (> 3%) in antioxidants, specifically Euterpe Oleracea Fruit Oil (est. ≈11.0%), Oryza Sativa (Rice) Bran Oil (est. ≈3.0%) and Passiflora Edulis 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.
