"REPAIR RX Ultimate Repair Gel-Cream"

From product name

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: dimethicone, squalane.

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

Ingredients by volume

Ingredient	Estimated concentration
water Plain old water	45% - 55%
isopropyl alcohol A drying alcohol. Can increase skin's sensitivity and cause dryness and irritation	5.7% - 7%
butylene glycol Used to create a nice product texture and help delivery of other ingredients. Might be somewhat helpful in attracting water to the upper layer of the skin	4% - 4.9%
dicaprylyl carbonate Helps products spread more easily and works as an emollient to soften skin	3.2% - 3.9%
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	2.4% - 3%
sorbitol Helps attract water to the upper layer of the skin and improves the product texture	1.9% - 2.4%
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.	1.6% - 2%
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% - 1.9%
dimethicone A silicone that helps to reduce water loss from the surface of the skin. Can temporarily "fill in" lines and wrinkles, absorb oil, and create a nice product finish	1.3% - 1.6%
panthenol Helps attract water to the upper layer of the skin and can help improve skin barrier function	0.95% - 1.2%
phenoxyethanol A preservative. It helps prevent bacterial growth in cosmetic products	0.65% - 1%
hydrogenated vegetable glycerides Help soften the upper layer of the skin	0.6% - 0.95%
cetearyl alcohol A non-drying alcohol. Works as an emollient. Helps water and oil mix together and creates a nice product texture	0.6% - 0.95%
potassium cetyl phosphate Helps oil and water mix together	0.5% - 0.75%
carbomer Helps create a thicker or gel-like product texture. It is not a surfactant but can be used in gentle cleansing formulations	0.45% - 0.65%
royal jelly Helps attract water to the upper layer of the skin	0.45% - 0.65%
xanthan gum Used to create a thicker product consistency	0.45% - 0.65%
hydrogenated palm glycerides An emollient that softens the skin	0.45% - 0.65%
glucose Helps attract water to the upper layer of the skin. Could be helpful in restoring the skin barrier function	0.3% - 0.6%
cocoglycerides Help soften the upper layer of the skin and make it easier for oil and water mix together. Recently, a rising number of allergic reactions to cocoglycerides and other coconut-derived surfactants has been reported. As there is a significant overlap between frequent irritants and allergens, we flag this ingredient for attention of those with very sensitive, reactive skin	0.35% - 0.6%
allantoin Helps calm down inflammation in skin and can help reduce itching. Helps to repair the skin barrier and keep skin hydrated	0.25% - 0.5%
rumex acetosella extract	0.25% - 0.45%
panax ginseng root extract A plant extract that might have some anti-inflammatory properties, but solid evidence is lacking. It can be irritating	0.3% - 0.5%

urtica dioica extract	0.25% - 0.45%
fumaria officinalis extract	0.25% - 0.45%

rosmarinus officinalis leaf extract Can be helpful in reducing inflammation in skin. Is a likely irritant	0.2% - 0.4%
scrophularia nodosa extract A plant extract that might have an anti-oxidant effect. Used as a fragrance	0.2% - 0.4%

disodium edta Stabilizes the product formulation	0.2% - 0.4%
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	0.2% - 0.4%
parfum An aromatic blend of unspecified and possibly irritating ingredients	0.2% - 0.35%
alcohol Can be drying and contribute to skin irritation. Used in formulars to dissolve other ingredients, create a thinner product consistency or for its antibacterial properties	0.2% - 0.35%
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	0.25% - 0.45%
pantolactone Helps attract water to the upper layer of the skin	0.15% - 0.3%
citric acid Can work as an exfoliant but is typically used to adjust the product pH	0.15% - 0.25%
