WIMJ summary

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: allantoin, biosaccharide gum-1.

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: simmondsia chinensis seed oil.

Ingredient	Effectiveness	Concentration	Irritancy

Ingredients by volume

Ingredient	Estimated concentration
aloe barbadensis leaf juice Traditionally used to treat sunburns, dermatitis and inflammation, but evidence for its effectiveness is lacking. The extract can contain humectants that help attract water into the skin	23% - 34%
water Plain old water	12% - 17%
hamamelis virginiana extract A plant extract that can help calm down inflammation in skin. Can, however, itself be irritating	4.4% - 6.6%
sodium hyaluronate One of the best moisturizing ingredients. Attracts water into the upper layer of the skin	3% - 4.5%
sodium laurylglucosides hydroxypropylsulfonate	2.3% - 3.5%
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	1.6% - 2.5%
unknown The ingredient is not recognized	TBC
simmondsia chinensis seed oil Softens the upper layer of skin and helps restore the healthy skin barrier. Has shown to help calm down inflammation in skin. It is a stable oil, meaning that it retains its properties even when exposed to air.	1.5% - 2.2%
salix alba extract	1% - 1.5%
cocos nucifera water Might help to attract water to the upper layer of the skin	0.95% - 1.4%
biosaccharide gum-1 Helps attract water to the upper layer of the skin and is claimed to provide a longer-lasting hydration because of its ability to create a water-binding film on the surface of the skin	0.8% - 1.2%
bisabolol An active component of chamomile plant that historically has been used to calm down irritated skin. A recent study shows that bisabolol indeed can have some anti-inflammatory effect on skin, even though conclusive data is lacking. Bisabolol has a sweet floral scent and can be added to products for its aromatic properties	0.5% - 1.15%
amorphophallus konjac root powder	0.6% - 1.4%
allantoin Helps calm down inflammation in skin and can help reduce itching. Helps to repair the skin barrier and keep skin hydrated	0.4% - 1%
tocopherol 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	0.4% - 0.95%
aspalathus linearis extract	0.35% - 0.8%
hibiscus sabdariffa flower extract A plant extract that can be irritating. It might contain a compound anthocyanin that could be helpful in neutralizing free radicals	0.2% - 0.8%
camellia sinensis leaf extract Can contain potent anti-oxidant compounds (abbreviated ECG, GCG, EGC, and EGCG) that might help protect the skin from free radicals. Can help calm down inflammation and has some anti-bacterial properties. Unfortunately, these antioxidants are unstable and lose their effectiveness very quickly in products. The concentration of the antioxidant compounds in the extract also tends to be low to be effective in topical formulation	0.2% - 0.75%
phenethyl alcohol A fragrance. Can be irritating	0.1% - 0.5%
ethylhexylglycerin A preservative	0.1% - 0.35%
citrus aurantium dulcis peel oil An essentil oil from orange peel. Potential allergen and can be irritating	0.1% - 0.3%
cymbopogon martini herb oil	0.05% - 0.2%
