Review

Does Sunbird Collective Aspenglow work?

Based on the ingredient list analysis by CreamScan AI, these are the key benefits you can expect from using Sunbird Collective Aspenglow:

  • Intense moisturizing. It has a moisturizing rating of 10.0 out of 10.
  • Soothing: Sunbird Collective Aspenglow contains a high concentration of soothing ingredients, which may help to reduce irritation and calm the skin.
  • Antioxidant protection.

How moisturizing is it?

Maximum hydration: Sunbird Collective Aspenglow has the highest possible moisturizing rating of 10.0 out of 10.

Is it more humectant or occlusive? This is one of the most moisturizing products on the market, with a maximum humectancy of 10 out of 10, solely because of the significant content of Glycyrrhiza Glabra (Licorice) Root Extract (est. ≈11.0%), and a maximum occlusivity of 10 out of 10, primarily due to the substantial concentration of Tallow (est. ≈50.0%) and Emu Oil (est. ≈22.0%).

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

Anti-wrinkle efficacy

According to CreamScan analysis, Sunbird Collective Aspenglow has a zero anti-wrinkle rating.

It contains Centella Asiatica Extract, an ingredient marketed as effective in reducing wrinkles. However, the studies supporting the anti-wrinkle claims of Centella Asiatica Extract 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 Sunbird Collective Aspenglow is rich (> 3%) in antioxidants, specifically Glycyrrhiza Glabra (Licorice) Root Extract (est. ≈11.0%), Centella Asiatica Extract (est. ≈4.0%) and Althaea Officinalis Root Extract (est. ≈3.0%).

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, Sunbird Collective Aspenglow is rich (> 5%) in soothing ingredients, particularly Glycyrrhiza Glabra (Licorice) Root Extract (est. ≈11.0%), Centella Asiatica Extract (est. ≈4.0%), Althaea Officinalis Root Extract (est. ≈3.0%), and others.

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.
