WIMJ summary

This product works by removing dirt and oil from the surface of the skin. It uses a combination of mild cleansing agents (glycine soja protein, sorbitan oleate) and should be able to cleanse the skin gently. Still keep in mind that any cleansing can disrupt the skin barrier, and most people do not need to cleanse their skin more than once per day.

Ingredients by volume

Ingredient	Estimated concentration
water Plain old water	40% - 60%
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	3.7% - 5.6%
cocos nucifera oil An emollient. Found to be as effective as a moisturizer for dry skin as mineral oil. Could be comedogenic	3.7% - 5.5%
elaeis guineensis kernel oil Helps soften the upper layer of the skin	2.7% - 4.1%
ricinus communis seed oil A plant oil that can help soften the skin. It might be helpful in calming down inflammation, but solid research is lacking. Is often used in lip products to create the needed product consistency	2.1% - 3.2%
sodium hydroxide Used to adjust the product's pH	1.6% - 2.4%
carthamus tinctorius seed oil An emollient that helps soften the skin and might help calm down inflammation	1.4% - 2.1%
sorbitol Helps attract water to the upper layer of the skin and improves the product texture	1.1% - 1.7%
sorbitan oleate Helps oil and water mix together	0.95% - 1.45%
caprylic/capric triglyceride 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	0.85% - 1.25%
glycine soja protein A plant extract that helps to attract water to the upper layer of the skin and soften it. It might be helpful in neutralizing free radicals. It might be somewhat helpful for evening out the skin tone. It might be able to support elastin production but solid research is lacking	0.5% - 1.15%
fructooligosaccharides Help attract water to the upper layer of the skin	0.35% - 0.85%
actinidia chinensis fruit extract A plant extract that might have some anti-oxidant properties, but evidence of effectiveness in skin is lacking	0.35% - 0.85%
