Very Rich Moisturizer Perfect for Dry to Very Dry Skin

According to CreamScan analysis, Sunbird Collective Sacred Salve is exceptionally moisturizing, with 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 Honey (est. ≈11.0%), and a maximum occlusivity of 10 out of 10, primarily due to the substantial concentration of Tallow (est. ≈50.0%) and Simmondsia Chinensis (Jojoba) Seed Oil (est. ≈22.0%).

This type of moisturizer is ideal for people with dry to very dry skin who want intense hydration. It combines a high concentration of humectants with an exceptional level of occlusive ingredients to provide effective dual-action moisturizing specifically for very dry skin.

The occlusive profile of Sunbird Collective Sacred Salve suggests a rich, thick texture, making it perfectly suited for very dry skin.
