Very Rich Moisturizer with the Right Occlusivity for Very Dry Skin

According to CreamScan analysis, Zizia Botanicals Moisturizing Flower Balm is quite moisturizing, with a moisturizing rating of 5.0 out of 10.

Is it more humectant or occlusive? It is purely occlusive. It has zero Humectancy (we didn't find any humectant ingredients on the ingredient list) and a maximum Occlusivity of 10 out of 10, due to the high content of Simmondsia Chinensis (Jojoba) Seed Oil (est. ≈50.0%), Rosa Canina Fruit Oil (est. ≈22.0%) and Squalane (est. ≈11.0%).

This type of product, when used as a standalone moisturizer, can deliver an exceptional level of occlusive hydration that is adequate for dry to very skin. The occlusive profile of Zizia Botanicals Moisturizing Flower Balm suggests a rich, thick texture, making it perfectly suited for dry skin.

Things to Be Aware Of: Zizia Botanicals Moisturizing Flower Balm

 
CreamScan AI identified a few things to consider before adding Zizia Botanicals Moisturizing Flower Balm to your skincare routine:
 

Best for Very Dry Skin - May Be Too Thick for Other Skin Types

With exceptional occlusivity, this product is optimal for moisturizing dry and very dry skin but may be too thick for other skin types, including normal, and especially combination and oily skin.

If you have oily, combination, or normal skin and are considering purchasing this product for the first time, it might be a good idea to try a sample before buying.

Needs to Be Paired with Extra Humectants for Optimal Moisturizing Efficacy

An ideal moisturizer for any skin type should balance the right level of occlusivity (depending on skin type) with a significant amount of humectants, while Zizia Botanicals Moisturizing Flower Balm contains no humectants at all.

People with dry skin would definitely benefit from adding water-binding humectants to their moisturizing routine for effective dual-action moisturizing. If this is your only moisturizer, it may be worth including a humectant-rich product, such as a serum, in your skincare routine.
