What does the product description say?

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, cocos nucifera oil.

caprylic/capric triglyceride 2.3% - 2.8%

Irritation risk:

Concentration: Effectiveness: HIGH

A good mix of fatty acids that forms a protective layer on the skin. Improves the shelf life of products. Derived from coconut and glycerin

caryodendron orinocense seed oil 0.45% - 0.65%

Irritation risk:

Concentration: Effectiveness: HIGH

A plant oil with a high content of linoleic acid that helps soften the upper layer of the skin and helps strengthen the skin barrier. It is an excellent moisturizer. Might have an anti-oxidant effect

cocos nucifera oil 0.75% - 1.15%

Irritation risk: Comedogenicity: High

Concentration: Effectiveness: HIGH

An emollient. Found to be as effective as a moisturizer for dry skin as mineral oil. Could be comedogenic

Anti-oxidation

This product contains antioxidants (ilex paraguariensis leaf 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.

ilex paraguariensis leaf extract 0.45% - 0.7%

Irritation risk:

Concentration: Effectiveness: MEDIUM

A plant extract that can help neutralize free radicals in skin. Can contain fragrand compounds like linalool that can be irritating

caryodendron orinocense seed oil 0.45% - 0.65%

Irritation risk:

Concentration: Effectiveness: LOW

A plant oil with a high content of linoleic acid that helps soften the upper layer of the skin and helps strengthen the skin barrier. It is an excellent moisturizer. Might have an anti-oxidant effect

euterpe oleracea fruit oil 0.65% - 1%

Irritation risk:

Concentration: Effectiveness: LOW

A plant oil that might help neutralize free radicals, but evidence of effectiveness in skin is lacking

Anti-aging

What does the product description say?

Beija Flor Elasti-Cream 240ml Rich and deeply hydrating, this brightening formula helps to improve the look of skin elasticity.

Source: Lookfantastic

This product does not contain ingredients that are able to reduce fine lines and wrinkles or help with skin elasticity, but it can improve the look of the skin temporarily through moisturization. Well-moisturized skin might also be able to repair the sun damage better.This ingredient - ilex paraguariensis leaf extract - could be helpful for preventing or repairing signs of aging in theory, but there is no evidence that it actually works.

This ingredient ilex paraguariensis leaf extract might be able to help neutralize free radicals in skin and help it fight off some of the sun damage.

ilex paraguariensis leaf extract 0.45% - 0.7%

Irritation risk:

Concentration: Effectiveness: LOW

A plant extract that can help neutralize free radicals in skin. Can contain fragrand compounds like linalool that can be irritating

butyrospermum parkii butter 0.45% - 0.7%

Irritation risk: Comedogenicity: High

Concentration: Insufficient!

tocopherol 0.45% - 0.7%

Irritation risk:

Concentration: Insufficient!

Pure form of vitamin E. Can help moisturise and protect the skin from free radicals. Often used to help stabilise other ingredients or the formula itself

Exfoliation

What does the product description say?

Bum Bum Scrub 220g A revitalising body scrub that helps to exfoliate the skin without stripping away any moisture.

Source: Lookfantastic

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.
