What does the product description say?

"Hydraskin Rich -Protective Moisturizing Cream"

From product name

WIMJ summary for moisturizing

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, imperata cylindrica root extract.

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: butyrospermum parkii butter, dimethicone.

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

Ingredient	Effectiveness	Concentration	Irritancy
mangifera indica seed butter	HIGH

WIMJ summary for anti-oxidation

This product contains antioxidants (imperata cylindrica root extract, squalene) that might be able to help neutralize free radicals in skin to lessen the damage it gets from the UV light (sun). There is not enough evidence to confirm their effectiveness in skin though.

Ingredient	Effectiveness	Concentration	Irritancy
imperata cylindrica root extract	MEDIUM
squalene	MEDIUM
butyrospermum parkii butter	LOW

Ingredients by volume

Ingredient	Estimated concentration
water Plain old water	45% - 55%
glyceryl stearate se Used to stabilize the product formulations and works as an emollient	4.6% - 5.6%
butyrospermum parkii butter A great moisturising ingredient that softens the skin and reduces water loss from its upper layer. It also can be helpful in protecting skin from free radicals	4.4% - 5.3%
tridecyl trimellitate Used to create a thicker product consistency and soften the upper layer of the skin	3.3% - 4%
hydrogenated polydecene Helps to soften the upper layer of the skin and create a nice product texture	2.4% - 3%
hydrogenated polyisobutene Used to improve the product consistency and soften the upper layer of the skin	2.1% - 2.6%
olive oil decyl esters	1.7% - 2.1%
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	1.4% - 1.8%
propanediol Acts as a solvent for other ingredients. Speeds up the absorption of other ingredients into the skin	1.2% - 1.5%
salicornia herbacea extract	0.9% - 1.15%
lavandula stoechas extract Used as a fragrance	0.7% - 1%
imperata cylindrica root extract A plat extract that might help neutralize free radicals in skin and attract water to its upper layer	0.55% - 0.85%
mangifera indica fruit extract A fruit extract that might help attract water to the upper layer of the skin. There is no evidence of other benefits in skin	0.5% - 0.75%
cyathea medullaris leaf extract	0.45% - 0.7%
mangifera indica seed butter Helps to soften the upper layer of the skin and might have some anti-oxidant effect	0.45% - 0.65%
inulin Helps attract water to the upper layer of the skin. Is claimed to support the growth of "good" bacteria in skin (as a "prebiotic"), but the research is lacking	0.4% - 0.65%
stearic acid Helps oil and water mix together and works as an emollient	0.55% - 0.8%
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	0.45% - 0.65%
palmitic acid An emollient that is naturally present in skin and helps soften it	0.4% - 0.6%
tocopheryl acetate A more stable but less bio-available form of vitamin E compared to Tocopherol. Might help moisturize and protect the skin from free radicals, but mostly used in low concentrations to stabilize other ingredients.	0.3% - 0.55%
hydrogenated vegetable oil An oil from a mixture of different vegetables. Helps soften the upper layer of the skin	0.3% - 0.6%
panthenol Helps attract water to the upper layer of the skin and can help improve skin barrier function	0.3% - 0.55%
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	0.3% - 0.55%
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	0.3% - 0.6%
potassium cetyl phosphate Helps oil and water mix together	0.3% - 0.55%
glyceryl caprylate An emollient that can also help water and oil mix together, as well as prevent bacteria growth in products	0.3% - 0.6%
caprylyl glycol Helps preserve products and creates a nice product texture	0.3% - 0.55%
squalene An oil that is naturally part of skin sebum that helps to soften its upper layer, reduce water loss and neutralize free radicals. It might be comedogenic. Avoid applying large concentrations (or pure oil) before sun exposure as oxidized squalene can clog pores and lead to skin irritation. Today squalene is mostly derived from vegetable oils or synthetized by yeast	0.3% - 0.55%
sodium stearate Helps oil and water mix together	0.65% - 1%
sodium carbomer Helps improve the texture	0.3% - 0.55%
cellulose gum Used to create thicker product consistency and stabilize emulsions	0.3% - 0.55%
carbomer Helps create a thicker or gel-like product texture. It is not a surfactant but can be used in gentle cleansing formulations	0.25% - 0.5%
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	0.3% - 0.6%
xanthan gum Used to create a thicker product consistency	0.3% - 0.5%
pentaerythrityl tetra-di-t-butyl hydroxyhydrocinnamate Used to increase stability of product formulations	0.3% - 0.55%

ionone	0.25% - 0.4%
