Review

Results you may expect from using The Organic Pharmacy Jasmine Night Conditioner:

Based on the ingredient analysis by CreamScan, these are the key benefits you can expect from using The Organic Pharmacy Jasmine Night Conditioner:

  • Light moisturizing. It has a moisturizing rating of 2.1 out of 10.
  • Some anti-wrinkle efficacy: The Organic Pharmacy Jasmine Night Conditioner has an anti-wrinkle rating of 2.5 out of 10 so you may expect some, although limited, effect on wrinkles.
  • Soothing: The Organic Pharmacy Jasmine Night Conditioner contains a high concentration of soothing ingredients, which may help to reduce irritation and calm the skin.
  • Antioxidant protection.

How moisturizing is it?

Lightly moisturizing: The Organic Pharmacy Jasmine Night Conditioner has a moisturizing rating of 2.1 out of 10.

Is it more humectant or occlusive? Purely humectant. It has zero occlusivity (we didn't find any occlusive ingredients on the ingredient list) and a moderate humectancy of 4.2 out of 10, primarily due to the high content of Sodium Lactate (est. ≈3.0%).

Tip: Studies suggest that humectants alone do not moisturize the skin. We recommend applying a product with some occlusive ingredients after the use of this one.

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

Anti-wrinkle efficacy

According to CreamScan analysis, The Organic Pharmacy Jasmine Night Conditioner has a slight anti-wrinkle rating of 2.5 out of 10. It contains one ingredient with proven anti-wrinkle efficacy: Retinol (est. ≈0.1%), 
 the most effective non-prescription ingredient with well-proven efficacy to reduce wrinkles.
 
Among others, The Organic Pharmacy Jasmine Night Conditioner also contains contains Calcium Ascorbate and Gluconolactone, two ingredients marketed as effective in reducing wrinkles. However, the studies supporting the anti-wrinkle claims of these ingredients provide insufficient evidence of efficacy according to CreamScan Research Evaluation Standards. Therefore, these ingredients do not contribute to 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 additional anti-wrinkle efficacy through its moisturizing action.
 

Please refer to the Ratings section below for details of the anti-wrinkle rating calculation.

Antioxidant benefits

We estimate that The Organic Pharmacy Jasmine Night Conditioner is rich (> 3%) in antioxidants, specifically Ananas Sativus (Pineapple) Fruit Extract (est. ≈1.3%), Vitis Vinifera (Grape) Fruit Extract (est. ≈1.0%), Sodium Hyaluronate (est. ≈0.3%), and others.

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, The Organic Pharmacy Jasmine Night Conditioner is rich (> 5%) in soothing ingredients, particularly Hamamelis Virginiana (Witch Hazel) Water (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.
