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: squalane, cetearyl alcohol.

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

dicaprylyl carbonate Helps products spread more easily and works as an emollient to soften skin	1.7% - 2.5%
squalane An oil naturally present in skin. Works as an emollient to soften the skin and form a protective layer on its surface without a greasy feeling.	1.5% - 2.2%
panthenol Helps attract water to the upper layer of the skin and can help improve skin barrier function	1.2% - 1.8%
phenoxyethanol A preservative. It helps prevent bacterial growth in cosmetic products	0.5% - 1%
hydrogenated vegetable glycerides Help soften the upper layer of the skin	0.8% - 1.25%

potassium cetyl phosphate Helps oil and water mix together	0.4% - 0.95%

gluconolactone A polyhydroxy acid (PHA) that helps shed the dead cells from the skin surface revealing smoother skin. Is believed to be genter than AHAs. It helps attract water to the upper layer of the skin and can stimulate production of skin's own hyaluronic acid resulting in improved hydration levels. It has been shown to be helpful against acne and clogged pores if used consistently (e.g over a period of 12 weeks) in high enough concentration. It can help reduce fine lines and wrinkles and improve skin tone with long-term application. Can help neutralize free radicals	0.15% - 0.6%

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.	0.05% - 0.2%
calcium gluconate Helps attract water to the upper layer of the skin and helps to improve appearance of the product	0.05% - 0.25%
ascorbic acid The most well-researched antioxidant that works in skin. Helps neutralize free radicals supporting collagen production, helping to even out the skin tone and preventing early signs of aging	0.05% - 0.1%
