Anti-wrinkle efficacy

According to CreamScan analysis, Saltee Sea & Sun Lotion has a zero anti-wrinkle rating.

It contains Acetyl Hexapeptide-8 and Centella Asiatica Leaf Extract, two ingredients marketed as effective in reducing wrinkles. However, the studies supporting the anti-wrinkle claims of these ingredients provide insufficient evidence of efficacy according to CreamScan Research Evaluation Standards. Therefore, these ingredients do not generate the anti-wrinkle rating.

Moisturizers, when used regularly, are proven to prevent wrinkle formation and even reduce existing wrinkles. Therefore, this product, like any other moisturizer, could deliver some anti-wrinkle effects through its moisturizing action.

Please refer to the Ratings section below for details of the anti-wrinkle rating calculation.

Ingredients explained

Water
Est. %60
Function
Origin
WaterThe most used ingredient in skincare. Its concentration defines the product texture: rich creams may have about 50% of water while a light jelly about 90%. Water doesn’t moisturize the skin by itself and is used in skincare as a solvent for other ingredients.
Octocrylene
Est. %9
Function
Origin
OctocryleneA synthetic compound that protects skin against harmful ultraviolet light.
Ethyl Methoxycinnamate
Est. %6
Function
Origin
Ethyl Methoxycinnamate
Avobenzone
Est. %4
Function
Origin
AvobenzoneA popular sunscreen that protects against UVA rays, which cause premature aging and skin cancer. Avobenzone degrades after about 30 minutes of sun exposure and becomes ineffective. It is therefore often paired with UV-filter stabilizers such as octocrylene.
Citrus Aurantium Amara (Bitter Orange) Flower Water
Est. %3
Function
Origin
Citrus Aurantium Amara (Bitter Orange) Flower Water
Diethylamino Hydroxybenzoyl Hexyl Benzoate
Est. %2.5
Function
Origin
Diethylamino Hydroxybenzoyl Hexyl Benzoate
Octisalate
Est. %2
Function
Origin

Est. %0.3
Function
Origin
Caprylic/Capric TriglycerideA natural occlusive moisturizing and emollient ingredient, it is a blend of glycerin and two fatty acids, caprylic and capric acid. It creates an oil-based protective layer on the skin, thereby preventing water loss.
Glyceryl Stearate
Est. %0.3
Function
Origin
Glyceryl StearateAn emollient and emulsifier typically derived from vegetable sources through a chemical reaction with glycerin. It provides stability, texture, and consistency to formulations. Its main function is to allow oil and water to mix.
PEG-100 Stearate
Est. %0.3
Function
Origin
PEG-100 StearateThis surfactant is more specifically classified as an emulsifier that produces oil-in-water emulsions. PEG-100 stearate can also be used as a cleansing agent.
Panthenol
Est. %0.3
Function
Origin

Est. %0.3
Function
Origin

Butylene Glycol
Est. %0.3
Function
Origin

Est. %0.3
Function
Origin

Acetyl Hexapeptide-8
Est. %0.3
Function
Origin
