Results you may expect from using Yon-Ka SENSITIVE Masque:

Based on the ingredient analysis by CreamScan, these are the key benefits you can expect from using Yon-Ka SENSITIVE Masque:

  • Light moisturizing. It has a moisturizing rating of 3.9 out of 10.
  • Antioxidant protection.

How moisturizing is it?

Lightly moisturizing: Yon-Ka SENSITIVE Masque has a moisturizing rating of 3.9 out of 10.

Is it more humectant or occlusive? This product has relatively comparable levels of humectancy and occlusivity: a moderate humectancy of 3.0 out of 10, solely because of the high content of Propylene Glycol (est. ≈3.0%), and a moderate occlusivity of 4.8 out of 10, primarily due to the substantial concentration of Zea Mays (Corn) Germ Oil (est. ≈6.0%) and Beeswax (est. ≈2.0%).

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

Antioxidant benefits

We estimate that Yon-Ka SENSITIVE Masque is rich (> 3%) in antioxidants, specifically Glycine Soja (Soybean) Oil (est. ≈1.3%), Chamomilla Recutita (Matricaria) Flower Extract (est. ≈0.3%), Rosmarinus Officinalis (Rosemary) Leaf Oil (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.
