WIMJ FORMULA ANALYSIS

Yes. Has good ingredients to attract water to the skin. But: it can't help seal in the moisture and reduce water loss over time, so you might want to use an additional product with good emollient ingredients (like oils, butters, or silicones)

Pos Ingredient Name Description
1 snail secretion filtrate Typically contains hyaluronic acid that helps attract water to the upper layer of the skin. Might contain allantoin that is helpful in calming down inflammation. There is no evidence that it can have any further benefits for the skin, especially when used in skincare products
2 betaine Helps attract water to the upper layer of the skin and improves the product texture
3 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
4 1,2-hexanediol A preservative
5 sodium hyaluronate One of the best moisturizing ingredients. Attracts water into the upper layer of the skin
6 panthenol Helps attract water to the upper layer of the skin and can help improve skin barrier function
7 arginine An amino acid that is naturally present in skin and helps keep it hydrated. When used together with AHAs, it can reduce their irritating effect on the skin
8 allantoin Helps calm down inflammation in skin and can help reduce itching. Helps to repair the skin barrier and keep skin hydrated
9 ethyl hexanediol Used to dissolve other ingredients. Might be irritating
10 sodium polyacrylate Used to create a gel-like product texture, as well as to stabilize emulsions
11 carbomer Helps create a gel-like product texture. Can be used in gentle cleansing formulations
12 phenoxyethanol A preservative. It helps prevent bacterial growth in cosmetic products
