These are the key benefits you can expect from using SheaMoisture Cannabis Sativa (Hemp) Seed Oil Calm & Comfort Body Lotion:
 

🔵🔵 Perfect Moisturizer for Normal to Dry Skin

According to CreamScan analysis, SheaMoisture Cannabis Sativa (Hemp) Seed Oil Calm & Comfort Body Lotion is intensely moisturizing, with a moisturizing rating of 8.4 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 Glycerin (est. ≈9.0%), and a high occlusivity of 6.8 out of 10, mainly due to the significant content of Butyrospermum Parkii (Shea) Butter (est. ≈6.0%) and Cocos Nucifera (Coconut) Oil (est. ≈3.0%).

This type of moisturizer is ideal for people with normal skin who want intense hydration in a rich yet not overly thick formula. It combines a high concentration of humectants with a significant amount of occlusive ingredients to provide effective dual-action moisturizing.

The product’s occlusive profile suggests a texture that is rich and creamy but not overly thick, offering the potential to absorb into the skin without leaving a greasy afterfeel in most cases.

This product may also be a good choice for people with dry (but not very dry) skin for daily hydration, as it strikes a balance between significant moisturizing potential and a texture that is not too thick.

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