WIMJ summary

This product can help soften the skin and reduce its moisture loss with emollients and occlusives: bis-diglyceryl polyacyladipate-2, butyrospermum parkii butter.

Keep in mind that this product does not contain effective ingredients to attract water to the upper layer of the skin. This is why an additional product with humectants like glycerin or hyaluronic acid can be helpful (apply it before this product for the best results).

Ingredients by volume

Ingredient	Estimated concentration
bis-diglyceryl polyacyladipate-2 Helps soften the upper layer of the skin and reduce water loss from its surface	22% - 34%
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	5.3% - 7.9%
isostearyl isostearate Helps soften the upper layer of the skin and improve the product texture	4.4% - 6.6%
rhus verniciflua peel cera	3.7% - 5.5%
candelilla cera	2.9% - 4.4%
copernicia cerifera cera Brazilian palm wax. Helps soften the upper layer of the skin	2.2% - 3.2%
citrus aurantium dulcis flower oil	1.5% - 2.3%
butyrospermum parkii butter A great moisturising ingredient that softens the skin and reduces water loss from its upper layer. It also can be helpful in protecting skin from free radicals	1.5% - 2.3%
citrullus lanatus seed oil	1.1% - 1.7%
schinziophyton rautanenii kernel oil	1% - 1.45%
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.	0.6% - 1.4%
pelargonium graveolens flower oil An essential oil. Can be irritating. Can become an allergen with oxidation	0.5% - 1.15%
distarch phosphate	0.45% - 1%
ipomoea batatas root extract	0.4% - 0.9%
water Plain old water	0.3% - 0.75%
citric acid Can work as an exfoliant but is typically used to adjust the product pH	0.15% - 0.7%
bifida ferment lysate Consists of remains of dead yeast bacteria cells. Helps to hydrate the skin and reduce irritation. Might has some anti-oxidant effect	0.15% - 0.65%
lactose Helps attract water to the upper layer of the skin	0.15% - 0.5%
lactis proteinum	0.1% - 0.45%
milk protein Helps attract water to the upper layer of the skin	0.1% - 0.45%
lactic acid An exfoliating and moisturizing alpha-hydroxy acid (AHA). Typically causes less irritation than other AHAs, for example, glycolic acid. At high concentrations (about 15%), lactic acid can help reduce lines and wrinkles. Recent studies show that lactic acid can support the "good" bacteria living on skin's surface (healthy skin microbiom)	0.1% - 0.4%
