WIMJ FORMULA ANALYSIS

It can be helpful for moisturization, but will not get the job done on its own. Has good ingredients to attract water to the skin, but can't reduce water loss over time. Could use another product on top to "seal in" moisture

Ingredient	Effectiveness	Concentration	Irritancy
sodium lactate	HIGH
butylene glycol	LOW

Ingredient	Irritancy	Skin benefit
1,2-hexanediol
sodium lactate
glycolic acid

Pos	Ingredient Name	Description
1	mi	The ingredient is not recognized
2	neral
3	water	Plain old water
4	salix alba (willow) bark water
5	pyrus malus (apple) fruit water
6	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
7	1,2-hexanediol	A preservative
8	sodium lactate	Helps attract water to the upper layer of the skin. Is often used to adjust the pH level of the product
9	glycolic acid	An alpha-hydroxy acid (AHA) that helps to remove the dead skin cells on the surface of the skin reveling a more even, smoother complexation. It is also able to stimulate collagen production with long-term use. Could help to reduce pore congestion. It can be irritating to the skin. Apply sunscreen daily if using products with glycolic acid
10	water	Plain old water
11	betaine salicylate	Exfoliating acid, a "relative" of salicylic acid
12	allantoin, panthenol
13	ethyl hexanediol	Used to dissolve other ingredients. Might be irritating
