WIMJ summary

This product contains adenosine. This ingredient might be able to help reduce and prevent fine lines and wrinkles, improve skin elasticity and firmness, but there is not enough evidence that it actually works.

"Honey Ceramide Full Moisture Cream"

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: betaine, glycerin.

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, caprylic/capric triglyceride.

The following ingredients in this product are especially good for supporting the skin barrier and helping with the hydration level: ceramide 3

Ingredients by volume

Ingredient	Estimated concentration
honey extract Helps attract water to the upper layer of the skin	22% - 33%
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	5.8% - 8.7%
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	4.5% - 6.8%
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	4% - 6%
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	3% - 4.6%
betaine Helps attract water to the upper layer of the skin and improves the product texture	2% - 3%
cetearyl olivate Helps oil and water mix together	1.6% - 2.3%
sorbitan olivate Helps oil and water mix together	1.2% - 1.8%
dimethicone A silicone that helps to reduce water loss from the surface of the skin. Can temporarily "fill in" lines and wrinkles, absorb oil, and create a nice product finish	1.2% - 1.9%
1,2-hexanediol A preservative	0.55% - 1.3%
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	0.85% - 1.25%
elaeis guineensis oil Helps soften the upper layer of the skin	0.55% - 1.25%
elaeis guineensis kernel oil Helps soften the upper layer of the skin	0.5% - 1.1%

hydroxyethyl acrylate/sodium acryloyldimethyl taurate copolymer A gelling agent that thickens the product consistency and leaves the skin with a velvety finish	0.15% - 0.65%
ethylhexylglycerin A preservative	0.15% - 0.55%
sodium hyaluronate One of the best moisturizing ingredients. Attracts water into the upper layer of the skin	0.1% - 0.4%
ceramide 3 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	0.15% - 0.6%
xanthan gum Used to create a thicker product consistency	0.1% - 0.35%
adenosine Might help improve cell turnover and reduce inflammation in skin. One study shows that the ingredients might be able to stimulate collagen production in skin	0.1% - 0.35%
