Is it more humectant or occlusive? Rather occlusive. It has a high humectancy of 7.9 out of 10, primarily due to the substantial concentration of Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Extract (est. ≈4.0%) and Glycerin (est. ≈3.0%), and a very high occlusivity of 8.3 out of 10, mainly due to the significant content of Olea Europaea (Olive) Fruit Oil (est. ≈9.0%) and Butyrospermum Parkii (Shea) Butter (est. ≈6.0%).

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

Antioxidant benefits

We estimate that Urtekram Nordic Berries Body Lotion is rich (> 3%) in antioxidants, specifically Olea Europaea (Olive) Fruit Oil (est. ≈9.0%) and Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Extract (est. ≈4.0%).

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.
