  • Significant moisturizing. It has a moisturizing rating of 6.5 out of 10.

How moisturizing is it?

Highly moisturizing: Soap & Glory Treat My Lips Ultra-Smoothing Lip Oil has a moisturizing rating of 6.5 out of 10.

Is it more humectant or occlusive? Significantly more occlusive. It has a moderate humectancy of 5.0 out of 10, entirely due to the substantial concentration of Phalaenopsis Amabilis Extract (est. ≈3.0%) and Lecithin (est. ≈2.0%), and a very high occlusivity of 8.0 out of 10, mainly due to the significant content of Trimethylolpropane Triisostearate (est. ≈11.0%) and Zea Mays (Corn) Oil (est. ≈4.0%).

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

Anti-wrinkle efficacy

According to CreamScan analysis, Soap & Glory Treat My Lips Ultra-Smoothing Lip Oil has a zero anti-wrinkle rating.

It contains Ascorbyl Palmitate, an ingredient marketed as effective in reducing wrinkles. However, the studies supporting the anti-wrinkle claims of Ascorbyl Palmitate provide insufficient evidence of its efficacy according to CreamScan Research Evaluation Standards. Therefore, this ingredient does 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.

Antioxidant benefits

We estimate that Soap & Glory Treat My Lips Ultra-Smoothing Lip Oil is rich (> 3%) in antioxidants, specifically Ethyl Vanillin (est. ≈6.0%).

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.

Skin soothing

Based on the ingredient list analysis, Soap & Glory Treat My Lips Ultra-Smoothing Lip Oil is rich (> 5%) in soothing ingredients, particularly Ethyl Vanillin (est. ≈6.0%).

When applied to the skin, compounds of soothing ingredients, such as triglycerides, phospholipids, fatty acids, phenolic compounds, and antioxidants, work together to soothe the skin through various mechanisms: reducing inflammation, promoting wound healing, repairing the skin barrier, and providing antimicrobial and antioxidant activities.
