Does SheaMoisture Coconut & Hibiscus Body Conditioner work?

Based on the ingredient list analysis by CreamScan AI, these are the key benefits you can expect from using SheaMoisture Coconut & Hibiscus Body Conditioner:

  • Significant moisturizing. It has a moisturizing rating of 6.2 out of 10.

Well-suited moisturizer for normal to dry skin

According to CreamScan analysis, SheaMoisture Coconut & Hibiscus Body Conditioner is highly moisturizing, with a moisturizing rating of 6.2 out of 10.

Is it more humectant or occlusive? This product has relatively comparable levels of humectancy and occlusivity: a high humectancy of 6.4 out of 10, primarily due to the substantial concentration of Glycerin (est. ≈4.0%), and a high occlusivity of 6.0 out of 10, mainly due to the significant content of Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride (est. ≈9.0%) and Butyrospermum Parkii (Shea) Butter (est. ≈2.0%).

This type of moisturizer is well-suited for people with normal skin who want significant hydration in a rich yet not overly thick formula. It combines a significant amount of humectants and 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.
