WIMJ FORMULA ANALYSIS

Yes. Has good ingredients to seal in the moisture in the skin. But: it is not effective in attracting water to the skin, so you might want to use an additional product with good humectant ingredients (like glycerin or hyaluronic acid)

Pos Ingredient Name Description
1 cyclopentasiloxane A silicone that helps improve the product texture and spreadability. Can absord oil creating a short-term mattifying effect on the skin
2 isododecane An emollient that helps soften the skin and can decrease moisture loss. Helps create a nice product texture
3 , l- The ingredient is not recognized
4 ascorbic acid One of the few well researched potent anti-aging ingredients. When it is able to penetrate the skin in an active state, it is effective against fine lines and wrinkles, helps improve skin elasticity and reduce hyperpigmentation. It acts as a powerful anti-oxidant and stimulates collagen production. The main issue with ascorbic acid is that it is highly unstable, in other words, it is losing its effectivenss quickly when exposed to air and light (if a serum or cream containing ascorbic acid has an orange color, it is a likely that the ingredient has oxidized and is no longer active). In addition, it is water-soluble, meaning that it has difficulty pentrating the skin. It is also quite irritating, and can cause stinging. When used in low concentrations, helps stabilize the product formulation
5 isocetyl stearate An emollient that helps soften the skin
6 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.
7 polysilicone-11 A silicone that forms a light film on the skin surface helping to bind water and temporarily absorb oils creating a matt and powdery feel
8 petrolatum One of the most effective and the most studied occlusive ingredients that creates a protective layer on top of the skin preventing moisture loss
9 camellia sinensis leaf extract Can contain potent anti-oxidant compounds and help protect the skin from free radicals. Can help calm down inflammation and has some anti-bacterial properties
10 tartaric acid An AHA (alpha-hydroxy acid). It oxidizes quickly which makes it less effective in skincare formulations. It can support skin's barrier and moisture levels
