WIMJ FORMULA ANALYSIS

It can get the job done. Best in class ingredients detected

Ingredient	Effectiveness	Concentration	Irritancy
3-o-ethyl ascorbic acid	HIGH

Pos	Ingredient Name	Description
1	water/aqua/eau	Plain old water
2	3-o-ethyl ascorbic acid	A vitamin C derivative that is more stable but less potent than pure form of vitamin C. Can help neutralize free radicals and help reduce hyperpigmentation, but the required concentration is likely to be much higher than for the pure form of vitamin C, limiting the ingredient's effectiveness in products
3	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
4	microcitrus australasica fruit extract	Most likely used for its fragrance. Can be irritating and lead to photosensitivity
5	citrus aurantium bergamia (bergamot) fruit oil	A plant oil with a high content of volatile compounds that can irritate the skin and lead to allergic reactions. Can lead to photosensitivity
6	haematococcus pluvialis extract	Green algae extract that might contain antioxidant astaxanthin
7	citrus aurantium dulcis (orange) peel extract
8	citrus sinensis (orange) peel extract
9	tocopherol	Pure form of vitamin E. Can help moisturise and protect the skin from free radicals. Often used to help stabilise other ingredients or the formula itself
10	simmondsia chinensis (jojoba) seed extract	Plant oil that helps soften the upper layer of the skin
11	epilobium angustifolium flower/leaf/stem extract	A plant extract that might contain antioxidants
12	sodium hyaluronate	One of the best moisturizing ingredients. Attracts water into the upper layer of the skin
13	lactobacillus ferment	A fermentation product created by bacteria Lactobacillus. The fermented product has anti-bacterial properties and might be helpful in calming down inflammation, but studies are lacking. Helps attract water to the upper layer of the skin. Can be used as a preservative
14	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
15	polyglyceryl-10 oleate	Helps soften the upper layer of the skin
16	acrylates/c10-30 alkyl acrylate crosspolymer	Maintains the texture of skincare products. Allows the product to spread evenly. Helps oil and water mix together
17	hydroxyacetophenone	Used to increase effectiveness of preservatives
18	1,2-hexanediol	A preservative
19	caprylyl glycol	Helps preserve products and creates a nice product texture
20	polyglyceryl-10 laurate	Helps water and oil mix together
21	polyglyceryl-10 stearate	Helps water and oil mix together and softens the upper layer of the skin
22	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
23	citric acid	Can work as an exfoliant but is typically used to adjust the product pH
24	sodium citrate	Helps to control the skin's pH level. Maintains the skin's natural film of amino-lactic acids and oils. Helps to preserve products
25	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.
26	xanthan gum	Used to create a thicker product consistency
27	lysolecithin	Lecithin derivative. It helps oil and water mix together and can enhance penetration of other ingredients. It helps soften the upper layer of the skin
28	potassium hydroxide	Used to adjust the pH level of products
29	sodium metabisulfite	A preservative
