How moisturizing is it?

Intensely moisturizing: Phytomer XMF Pionniere Perfection Youth Cream has a moisturizing rating of 8.9 out of 10.

Is it more humectant or occlusive? Rather humectant. It has a maximum humectancy of 10 out of 10, primarily due to the substantial concentration of Butylene Glycol (est. ≈6.0%) and Glycerin (est. ≈4.0%), and a high occlusivity of 7.8 out of 10, mainly due to the significant content of Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride (est. ≈9.0%) and C10-18 Triglycerides (est. ≈2.5%).

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

Antioxidant benefits

We estimate that Phytomer XMF Pionniere Perfection Youth Cream is rich (> 3%) in antioxidants, specifically Mannitol (est. ≈1.3%), Glycine Soja (Soybean) Oil (est. ≈0.3%), Squalene (est. ≈0.3%), and others.

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.
