"Hydrating Serum"

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: glycerin, butylene glycol.

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: caprylic/capric triglyceride, squalane.

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

Ingredients by volume

Ingredient	Estimated concentration
water Plain old water	40% - 60%
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	4.3% - 6.4%
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	3.5% - 5.3%
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.	2.7% - 4.1%
sodium stearoyl glutamate Helps oil and water mix together	2.1% - 3.1%
ammonium acryloyldimethyltaurate/vp copolymer Increases thickness of a product. Texture enhancer for oil-in-water emulsions	1.6% - 2.4%
dipropylene glycol Helps to dissolve other ingredients in a formulation. Slows down the rate of product drying	1.3% - 1.9%
ceramide np A type of lipid similar to ceramides naturally present in skin. Helps to soften the upper layer of the skin and supports the skin barrier function to keep it hydrated. Can help to prevent inflammation in skin	1.2% - 1.9%
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	1.1% - 1.6%
cholesterol An emollient that is naturally found in skin	0.8% - 1.2%
phytosphingosine A type of lipid that is naturally present in skin. It might help in repairing skin barrier function and has anti-bacterial effect	0.5% - 1.15%
stearic acid Helps oil and water mix together and works as an emollient	0.45% - 1.1%
oleic acid Helps soften the upper layer of the skin. At the same time, it can weaken the skin's barrier enhancing penetration of other ingredients and increasing the risk of skin dryness	0.35% - 0.85%
hydroxyacetophenone Used to increase effectiveness of preservatives	0.3% - 0.7%
polyglyceryl-4 oleate Helps oil and water mix together	0.3% - 0.7%
hydroxyethyl acrylate/sodium acryloyldimethyl taurate copolymer A gelling agent that thickens the product consistency and leaves the skin with a velvety finish	0.2% - 0.75%
hydrogenated lecithin Helps to retain moisture by creating a protective barrier on the skin. Rich in fatty acids. Improves product texture and helps with the penetration of other ingredients.	0.2% - 0.75%
caprylyl glycol Helps preserve products and creates a nice product texture	0.15% - 0.65%
glyceryl oleate Helps oil and water mix together. Can be irritating	0.15% - 0.5%
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)	0.1% - 0.4%
ethylhexylglycerin A preservative	0.1% - 0.4%
hydrogenated rapeseed alcohol Helps soften the upper layer of skin	0.1% - 0.5%
sorbitan isostearate Helps oil and water mix together	0.1% - 0.35%
sodium phytate Used to stabilize product formulations	0.05% - 0.25%
xanthan gum Used to create a thicker product consistency	0.05% - 0.2%
dipotassium glycyrrhizate A salt derived from licorice. Works as an emollient to soften the upper layer of the skin and can help calm down inflammation. Might be helpful for skin lightening	0.05% - 0.15%
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	0.05% - 0.1%
caprylhydroxamic acid A preservative	0.01% - 0.05%
