Scored for skin — based on what its ingredients contribute.
What it may help with
Whether the ingredient helps increase the skin’s water content — humectants that attract water, ingredients that reduce water loss, or ones that make skin feel less dry.
From Urea, Glycerin, Panthenol, Persea Gratissima Oil
Whether it can calm the skin — linked to less redness, irritation, discomfort, or visible reactivity.
From Panthenol, Allantoin, Persea Gratissima Oil, Urea
Whether it can improve smoothness and surface texture — roughness, flaking, clogged pores, or unevenness. Exfoliating acids, retinoids, and smoothing moisturizers may score here.
From Urea, Lactic Acid, Panthenol, Jojoba Esters
Whether it can help visible signs of aging — fine lines, wrinkles, loss of firmness, or photoaging.
Whether it supports the skin barrier — restoring lipids, reducing water loss, aiding barrier repair, or strengthening the skin’s protective function.
From Glycerin, Tocopherol, Dimethicone, Octyldodecanol
Things to watch
Risk of allergic contact dermatitis or immune-based reactions. Fragrance allergens, preservatives, botanicals, and some dyes may score here.
Whether it can make skin more sensitive to sunlight, raising the risk of sunburn or UV-related irritation. Relevant for some exfoliating acids, retinoids, and certain plant-derived ingredients.
From Lactic Acid
Risk of short-term irritation — stinging, burning, dryness, redness, or discomfort. Common for strong actives, acids, retinoids, fragrances, and harsh surfactants.
From Fragrance, Lactic Acid, Laureth-9, Phenylpropanol
Whether it may sting or irritate around the eyes. Relevant for sunscreens, fragrances, acids, surfactants, and volatile ingredients.
From Fragrance, 1,2-Hexanediol, Lactic Acid
Whether it can weaken or damage the skin barrier — harsh surfactants, strong exfoliants, high alcohol content, or overuse-prone actives.
From Lactic Acid, Fragrance

A body moisturizer for dry to very dry skin that combines 10% urea with humectants and emollients for strong hydration, barrier support, and a smoother feel. The formula is well-suited to rough, tight, or flaky skin, but the added fragrance and richer texture may make it less suitable for highly reactive or very oily skin.
