Elizabeth Grant Green Power with Hemp Seed Oil Body Cream
Works for
MoisturizingPalmitoyl tripeptide-1, Palmitoyl tetrapeptide-7 + 15 moreWorks well
“It helps keep skin hydrated without clogging pores and soothe out dry skin, reducing the look of redness.”
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:
glycerin, sodium hyaluronate.
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: caprylic/capric triglyceride, cannabis sativa seed oil.
The following ingredients in this product are especially good for supporting the skin barrier and helping with the hydration level: palmitoyl tetrapeptide-7, palmitoyl tripeptide-1, panthenol
Anti-agingPalmitoyl tripeptide-1, Palmitoyl tetrapeptide-7 + 3 moreMay help
“Spirulina - A blue-green micro algae that tones, hydrates the skin, giving a younger looking complexion.”
This product contains palmitoyl tetrapeptide-7, palmitoyl tripeptide-1. These ingredients 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.

Effective ingredients missing or their concentration is too low
Anti-oxidationNot advertised by the brand · Ubiquinone, Spinacia oleracea leaf extract + 3 moreWorks well

Product summary
Based on the ingredient list, "Elizabeth Grant - Green Power with Hemp Seed Oil Body Cream" can work well for skin moisturization. To work well, any moisturizer needs to include a combination of water-binding and emollient ingredients. Elizabeth Grant - Green Power with Hemp Seed Oil Body Cream ticks this box. Glycerin, sodium hyaluronate, sodium lactate, brassica oleracea acephala leaf extract and butylene glycol in this product (humectants) attract water molecules to the upper layer of the skin (the water comes from the outside air or from the deeper layers of the skin if the air is dry). Emollients in this formulation (palmitoyl tetrapeptide-7, palmitoyl tripeptide-1, cannabis sativa seed oil, caprylic/capric triglyceride and isopropyl palmitate) help to reduce the moisture loss from the skin. They also soften the skin surface and relieve the feeling of dryness and tightness.
Ingredient callouts
- We like that this moisturizer contains peptides (palmitoyl tetrapeptide-7 0.55% - 0.80% and palmitoyl tripeptide-1 0.60% - 0.85%). There are many different kind of peptides and they are naturally present in our skin. They all are a combination of amino-acids. Some of them work as natural anti-biotics, promote wound-healing and production of collagen. The science is still not settled on how effective peptides in skincare are, but it is very likely that they have a benefit. Peptides might help restore the skin barrier and fight the signs of aging. At the very least, peptides work as humectants: they attract water to the upper layer of the skin and improve its hydration.
