WIMJ summary

This product contains good ingredients to attract water to the upper layer of the skin. These ingredients are called "humectants": glycerin, glucose.

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. If the air is dry, humectants can speed up the moisture loss from the skin. This is why it is a good idea to use another product on top of this one to help "seal in" the moisture (look for ingredients like dimethicone, squalane, oils and butters).

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
alpha-glucan oligosaccharide Helps attract water to the upper layer of the skin	23% - 34%
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	5.6% - 8.5%
benzyl benzoate Fragrance with sweet balsamic smell. Help to preserve products and dissolve other ingredients. Could trigger allergic reactions and be irritating	4.8% - 7.2%
benzyl salicylate A fragrance. Is a likely irritant	3.8% - 5.6%
crataegus monogyna flower extract	3% - 4.5%
ci 19140 A yellow dye	2.2% - 3.3%
ci 42090 A colorant (dye)	1.8% - 2.6%
citric acid Can work as an exfoliant but is typically used to adjust the product pH	1.5% - 2.2%
disodium edta Stabilizes the product formulation	0.5% - 1%
glucose Helps attract water to the upper layer of the skin. Could be helpful in restoring the skin barrier function	1.1% - 1.7%
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	1% - 1.5%
hamamelis virginiana water A plant extract that can help calm down inflammation in skin. Can, however, itself be irritating	0.5% - 1.2%
hexyl cinnamal A fragrance with jasmine smell. A likely irritant	0.6% - 1.4%

propylene glycol Helps oil and water mix together and can enhance the penetration of other ingredients into the skin. It can be irritating	0.45% - 1%
retinyl palmitate Three steps removed from the active form of vitamin A - retinoic acid. To have an effect in the skin, it first needs to be converted twice to become the retinoic acid. This means it is less potent than retinol, but could also be less irritating. Once converted to the retinoic acid in the skin, it helps against all signs of aging, improves skin cell turnover and helps fight blemishes and clogged pores. However, in many cosmetic formulations, it is used in a concentration that is too low to have the full effect	0.35% - 0.85%
silica Used to absorb oil and can temporarily mattify skin	0.5% - 1.2%
sodium benzoate A preservative	0.25% - 0.5%
sea salt Used to thicken the product formulation and might help to add minerals to the surface of the skin. It is used in scrubs as a physical exfoliant. Can increase sensitivity to other ingredients if left on the skin or used in high concentration	0.35% - 0.75%
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	0.2% - 0.75%
sorbic acid A preservative	0.3% - 0.6%
water Plain old water	0.2% - 0.7%
zinc sulfate A preservative. It can be irritating	0.15% - 0.6%
