Benefits
Promise: Anti-aging
What does the product description say?
Eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA), a type of omega-3 from algae, may help reduce signs of aging by blocking UV-induced enzymes that destroy collagen.
This product contains astaxanthin. 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.
| Ingredient | Effectiveness | Concentration | Irritancy |
|---|---|---|---|
| astaxanthin | MEDIUM |  |  |
| limnanthes alba seed oil | LOW | | |
| tocopherol | LOW |  | |
Promise: Moisturizing
What does the product description say?
Protective Day Oil
This product can help soften the skin and reduce its moisture loss with emollients and occlusives: simmondsia chinensis seed oil, argania spinosa kernel oil.
Keep in mind that this product does not contain effective ingredients to attract water to the upper layer of the skin. This is why an additional product with humectants like glycerin or hyaluronic acid can be helpful (apply it before this product for the best results).
| Ingredient | Effectiveness | Concentration | Irritancy |
|---|---|---|---|
| argania spinosa kernel oil | HIGH | | |
| borago officinalis seed oil | HIGH | | |
| persea gratissima oil | HIGH | | |

Other benefit: Anti-oxidation
This product contains antioxidants (astaxanthin) that can help neutralize free radicals in skin. By doing so, they can lessen the damage the skin gets from the UV light (sun).
The following ingredients - rubus idaeus seed oil also can have an antioxidant effect, but there is less evidence to confirm their effectiveness in skin.
| Ingredient | Effectiveness | Concentration | Irritancy |
|---|---|---|---|
| astaxanthin | HIGH | | |
| rubus idaeus seed oil | MEDIUM | | |
| borago officinalis seed oil | LOW | | |
