Andalou Naturals CannaCell X.Foliate Scrub
Works for
MoisturizingPanthenol, Jojoba esters + 4 moreWorks well
“The antibacterial, anti-inflammatory, and moisture retention properties help strengthen skin's barrier function and protect from dehydration and environmental stressors.”
This product can help improve hydration of the skin with the two types of ingredients.
The first type is called “humectants”:
these ingredients help attract water.
When humectants are on the surface of the skin, they “pull in” the moisture from the outside environment, or from
within deeper layers of the skin. The following ingredients in this product do the job:
allantoin, aloe barbadensis leaf juice.
This product also contains ingredients called “occlusives”. They help reduce the speed with which our skin loses moisture to the outside environment. These ingredients also help soften the upper layer of the skin, so it feels less tight and nicer to the touch. The following ingredients in this product do the job: cannabis sativa seed oil, jojoba esters.
The following ingredients in this product are especially good for supporting the skin barrier and helping with the hydration level: panthenol
Anti-agingResveratrol, Aloe barbadensis leaf juice + 2 moreMay help
“These superpowered antioxidants help defend against free radicals and counteract premature aging due to oxidative damage, pollution, and UV sun exposure.”
This product contains resveratrol. This ingredient might be able to help reduce and prevent fine lines and wrinkles, improve skin elasticity and firmness, but there is not enough evidence that it actually works.
ExfoliationAllantoinNot delivered
“Canna Cell X.Foliate Scrub”
This product does not contain effective exfoliating ingredients. It might be able to deliver physical exfoliation, that is scrub off some of the dead cells on the surface of the skin. We do not recommend physical exfoliation, because it is not uniform (some bits of skin can get exfoliated too much while others not at all). It can also traumatize the skin and aggrevate acne and other skin conditions.
Anti-oxidationSide benefit · Resveratrol, Magnesium ascorbyl phosphate + 2 moreWorks well
This product contains antioxidants (resveratrol) that can help neutralize free radicals in skin. By doing so, they can lessen the damage the skin gets from the UV light (sun).

Ingredient callouts
- An effective concentration of Panthenol (pro-vitamin B5) - about 1.50% - 2.30%. Panthenol helps strengthen the skin barrier, improve hydration and reduce inflammation in skin.
- In addition, this product contains Allantoin (1.10% - 1.60%). Allantoin is helpful in wound-healing and can help restore the skin barrier faster. It might also be able to improve scars, but the evidence is not very strong for this.
- Humectants (allantoin 1.10% - 1.60% and panthenol 1.50% - 2.30%). These ingredients help attract water to the upper layer of the skin and improve the skin hydration.
