WIMJ summary

This product can help exfoliate the skin. In other words, it helps break down the bonds between dead cells on the surface of the skin and speed up the skin turnover. Skin often appears softer and brighter after exfoliation, but overdoing it can result in disrupted skin barrier. The following ingredient is doing the exfoliating job in this product: salicylic acid.

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: glycerin, honey.

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: beeswax, butyrospermum parkii butter.

Ingredient	Effectiveness	Concentration	Irritancy
cocos nucifera oil	HIGH

Ingredients by volume

Ingredient	Estimated concentration
salicylic acid Used for skin exfoliation. It has an anti-inflammatory and anti-bacterial effect, helps to unclog pores, prevent blemishes and speed up healing of the existing ones. Sometimes referred to as a BHA (beta-hydroxy acid)	1.25% - 2.5%
unknown The ingredient is not recognized	TBC
water Plain old water	99.5% Declared
decyl cocoate	5.3% - 8%
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	3% - 4.4%
helianthus annuus seed oil A great emollient due to its high linoleic acid content. One of the most effective plant oils in helping skin hydration and repairing skin barrier function	2.5% - 3.8%
beeswax Forms a protective barrier that holds water and keeps dry skin hydrated. Keeps an emulsion from separating into its oil and liquid components, and increases the thickness of a product. Can be an allergen	2.1% - 3.1%
parfum An aromatic blend of unspecified and possibly irritating ingredients	1.4% - 2.1%
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	1.5% - 2.3%
cetyl alcohol A non-drying alcohol that works to soften the skin and stabilize product formulations helping oil and water mix together	1.2% - 1.8%
glyceryl stearate citrate Helps oil and water mix together while softening the upper layer of the skin	1% - 1.45%
polyglyceryl-3 stearate Helps oil and water mix together	0.55% - 1.35%
cocos nucifera oil An emollient. Found to be as effective as a moisturizer for dry skin as mineral oil. Could be comedogenic	0.45% - 1.05%
olea europaea fruit oil An emollient that helps soften the skin but is not effective for restoring its barrier function. Might be helpful to calm down inflammation	0.45% - 1.05%
vitis vinifera seed oil A great emollient that can also have anti-oxidant properties	0.45% - 1%
nonfat dry milk	0.35% - 0.85%
honey Helps attract water to the skin and might have some anti-bacterial properties. Can be an allergen	0.35% - 0.85%
aloe barbadensis leaf juice Traditionally used to treat sunburns, dermatitis and inflammation, but evidence for its effectiveness is lacking. The extract can contain humectants that help attract water into the skin	0.35% - 0.85%
rosmarinus officinalis leaf extract Can be helpful in reducing inflammation in skin. Is a likely irritant	0.3% - 0.75%
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	0.35% - 0.75%
beta-carotene A colorant adding orange or bright yellow color	0.2% - 0.75%
xanthan gum Used to create a thicker product consistency	0.2% - 0.75%

canola oil A plant oil that can help soften the upper layer of the skin	0.2% - 0.75%
lactic acid An exfoliating and moisturizing alpha-hydroxy acid (AHA). Typically causes less irritation than other AHAs, for example, glycolic acid. At high concentrations (about 15%), lactic acid can help reduce lines and wrinkles. Recent studies show that lactic acid can support the "good" bacteria living on skin's surface (healthy skin microbiom)	0.15% - 0.6%
citric acid Can work as an exfoliant but is typically used to adjust the product pH	0.15% - 0.6%
sodium stearoyl lactylate Helps oil and water mix together	0.15% - 0.65%
sodium benzoate A preservative	0.25% - 0.5%

magnesium aluminum silicate Might be helpful in restoring skin barrier function and, when combined with zinc carbonate and malonic acid, reducing fine lines and wrinkles by stimulating elastin production. Also helps stabilize the product formulation	0.15% - 0.65%
phenoxyethanol A preservative. It helps prevent bacterial growth in cosmetic products	0.1% - 0.45%
benzyl alcohol A preservative. Can be used to mask unpleasant smell. Can be irritating	0.05% - 0.25%
benzyl benzoate Fragrance with sweet balsamic smell. Help to preserve products and dissolve other ingredients. Could trigger allergic reactions and be irritating	0.05% - 0.3%
