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: glycerin, 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: cocos nucifera fruit extract, stearic acid.

inulin 0.65% - 0.95%

Irritation risk:

Concentration: Effectiveness: HIGH

Helps attract water to the upper layer of the skin. Is claimed to support the growth of "good" bacteria in skin (as a "prebiotic"), but the research is lacking

mangifera indica seed butter 25% - 31%

Irritation risk:

Concentration: Effectiveness: HIGH

Helps to soften the upper layer of the skin and might have some anti-oxidant effect

alpha-glucan oligosaccharide 0.6% - 0.9%

Irritation risk:

Concentration: Effectiveness: HIGH

Helps attract water to the upper layer of the skin

Anti-oxidation

This product contains antioxidants (ficus carica fruit extract) that might be able to help neutralize free radicals in skin to lessen the damage it gets from the UV light (sun). There is not enough evidence to confirm their effectiveness in skin though.

ficus carica fruit extract 0.5% - 0.8%

Irritation risk:

Concentration: Effectiveness: MEDIUM

A plant extract that can help neutralize free radicals. The concentrations typically used in cosmetics are too small to have an effect

garcinia mangostana fruit extract 0.5% - 0.75%

Irritation risk:

Concentration: Effectiveness: LOW

A fruit extract that might have some anti-oxidant properties

mangifera indica seed butter 25% - 31%

Irritation risk:

Concentration: Effectiveness: LOW

Helps to soften the upper layer of the skin and might have some anti-oxidant effect

Anti-blemish

What does the product description say?

This sweet-scented body gel contains fruit enzymes to exfoliate dead skin and unclog pores without stripping natural oils.

Effective ingredients missing or their concentration is too low.

inulin 0.65% - 0.95%

Irritation risk:

Concentration: Effectiveness: LOW

Helps attract water to the upper layer of the skin. Is claimed to support the growth of "good" bacteria in skin (as a "prebiotic"), but the research is lacking

aloe barbadensis leaf juice 5.6% - 6.9%

Irritation risk:

Concentration: Effectiveness: LOW

Traditionally used to treat sunburns, dermatitis and inflammation, but evidence for its effectiveness is lacking. The extract can contain humectants that help attract water into the skin

Exfoliation

What does the product description say?

This sweet-scented body gel contains fruit enzymes to exfoliate dead skin and unclog pores without stripping natural oils.

Source: Lookfantastic US

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.
