WIMJ summary for moisturizing

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

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).

The following ingredients in this product are especially good for supporting the skin barrier and helping with the hydration level: paraffinum liquidum

Ingredient	Effectiveness	Concentration	Irritancy
squalane	HIGH
beeswax	HIGH
isopropyl myristate	HIGH

isopropyl palmitate Helps soften the upper layer of the skin and create a thicker product consistency	2.9% - 4.4%
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	2.4% - 3.6%

bis-diglyceryl polyacyladipate-2 Helps soften the upper layer of the skin and reduce water loss from its surface	1.4% - 2.2%
