From product name

WIMJ FORMULA ANALYSIS

Ingredients may be helpful, but are not the most effective, well studied, or used in a sufficient concentration

Ingredient	Effectiveness	Concentration	Irritancy
retinyl palmitate	MEDIUM
beta-glucan	LOW

Pos	Ingredient Name	Description
1	water	Plain old water
2	glycerin	One of the best moisturizing ingredients. Naturally present in skin. It attracts water to the upper layer of the skin working as a humectant
3	butylene glycol	Used to create a nice product texture and help delivery of other ingredients. Might be somewhat helpful in attracting water to the upper layer of the skin
4	mangifera indica (mango) seed butter	Helps to soften the upper layer of the skin and might have some anti-oxidant effect
5	dimethicone	A silicone that helps to reduce water loss from the surface of the skin. Can temporarily "fill in" lines and wrinkles, absorb oil, and create a nice product finish
6	hydrogenated castor oil isostearate
7	pentaerythrityl tetraethylhexanoate	Used to create a nice product consistency while softening the upper layer of the skin
8	cocos nucifera (coconut) oil	An emollient. Found to be as effective as a moisturizer for dry skin as mineral oil. Could be comedogenic
9	tetrahexyldecyl ascorbate	Being a lipid soluble form of vitamin C, it is more stable. It is claimed to penetrate skin better than pure vitamin C and have the the similar benefits, but solid studies of its effectiveness are lacking. Is likely to require a higher concentration in a product than pure vitamin C to be effective.
10	cetearyl alcohol	A non-drying alcohol. Works as an emollient. Helps water and oil mix together and creates a nice product texture
11	caprylyl methicone	A type of silicone that helps to soften the upper layer of the skin and create a nice product finish on the skin
12	behenyl alcohol	Non-drying alcohol that helps water and oil mix together. Also serves as an emollient
13	glycosaminoglycans	Long sugars that help attract water to the upper layer of the skin
14	oryza sativa (rice) bran oil extract
15	beta-glucan	Helps attract water to the upper layer of the skin, calm down inflammation and irritation, restore the barrier function and support wound healing. It can be helpful in reducing fine lines and wrinkles
16	sodium hyaluronate	One of the best moisturizing ingredients. Attracts water into the upper layer of the skin
17	hordeum vulgare extract	A plant extract that might have some anti-oxidant properties. Avoid if you are sensitive to gluten
18	adenosine	Might help improve cell turnover and reduce inflammation in skin. One study shows that the ingredients might be able to stimulate collagen production in skin
19	retinyl palmitate	Three steps removed from the active form of vitamin A - retinoic acid. To have an effect in the skin, it first needs to be converted twice to become the retinoic acid. This means it is less potent than retinol, but could also be less irritating. Once converted to the retinoic acid in the skin, it helps against all signs of aging, improves skin cell turnover and helps fight blemishes and clogged pores. However, in many cosmetic formulations, it is used in a concentration that is too low to have the full effect
20	ascorbyl palmitate	Being a lipid soluble form of vitamin C, it is more stable and can penetrate the skin better than L-Ascorbic acid. It is effective in protecting the skin from free radicals, as well as evening the skin tone, but is less effective in stimulating collagen production compared to L-Ascorbic acid.
21	tocopheryl acetate	A more stable but less bio-available form of vitamin E compared to Tocopherol. Might help moisturize and protect the skin from free radicals, but mostly used in low concentrations to stabilize other ingredients.
22	dipotassium glycyrrhizate	A salt derived from licorice. Works as an emollient to soften the upper layer of the skin and can help calm down inflammation. Might be helpful for skin lightening
23	panthenol	Helps attract water to the upper layer of the skin and can help improve skin barrier function
24	alcohol	Can be drying and contribute to skin irritation. Used in formulars to dissolve other ingredients, create a thinner product consistency or for its antibacterial properties
25	glycosphingolipids	A type of lipids naturally present in skin. They can be converted to ceramides in skin
26	phospholipids	Emollients that are naturaly present in skin. In addition, they help water and oil mix together in the product
27	polyglyceryl-10 pentastearate
28	sodium stearoyl lactylate	Helps oil and water mix together
29	cyclopentasiloxane	A silicone that helps improve the product texture and spreadability. Can absord oil creating a short-term mattifying effect on the skin
30	dimethiconol	A silicone that makes products more spreadable and keeps skin smooth. Helps to add gloss to skin and may visually fill in fine lines/wrinkles for short time
31	sodium acrylate/sodium acryloyldimethyl taurate copolymer	Used to create a thicker product consistency
32	sodium polyacrylate	Used to create a gel-like product texture, as well as to stabilize emulsions
33	isohexadecane	Improves the texture of the product and helps soften the skin. Helps oil and water mix together and can be used as a cleansing agent
34	polysorbate 80	Helps water and oil mix together
35	disodium edta	Stabilizes the product formulation
36	phenoxyethanol	A preservative. It helps prevent bacterial growth in cosmetic products
37	caprylyl glycol	Helps preserve products and creates a nice product texture
