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: glycerin, sodium hyaluronate.

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: caprylic/capric triglyceride, squalene.

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

WIMJ summary

This product contains antioxidants (superoxide dismutase) that can help neutralize free radicals in skin. By doing so, they can lessen the damage the skin gets from the UV light (sun).

The following ingredients - squalene also can have an antioxidant effect, but there is less evidence to confirm their effectiveness in skin.

Ingredient	Effectiveness	Concentration	Irritancy
superoxide dismutase	HIGH
squalene	MEDIUM
camellia sinensis leaf extract	MEDIUM

Ingredients by volume

Ingredient	Estimated concentration
water Plain old water	45% - 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	6.6% - 8.1%
petrolatum One of the most effective and the most studied occlusive ingredients that creates a protective layer on top of the skin preventing moisture loss	4.4% - 5.4%
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	3.2% - 3.9%
peg-100 stearate Helps oil and water mix togehter and creates a nice product texture	2.4% - 2.9%
glyceryl stearate An emollient that softens the skin and forms a protective layer on its surface. Helps water and oil mix together	1.9% - 2.3%
cyclopentasiloxane A silicone that helps improve the product texture and spreadability. Can absord oil creating a short-term mattifying effect on the skin	1.6% - 1.9%
pentaerythrityl tetraisostearate Used to create a thicker product consistency	1.4% - 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% - 1.4%
cetyl alcohol A non-drying alcohol that works to soften the skin and stabilize product formulations helping oil and water mix together	1% - 1.2%
cyclohexasiloxane A silicone that serves as an emollient. Helps create a nice non-greasy feels	0.65% - 1%
sodium hydroxide Used to adjust the product's pH	0.5% - 0.8%
superoxide dismutase An antioxidant enzyme that is naturally present in skin. It can help support skin barrier function and reduce inflammation in skin. It is used in topical medications for inflammatory skin conditions including atopic dermatitis (eczema) and psoriasis. There are three types of natural Superoxide Dismutase in human skin. The compound used in topical treatments and cosmetics are mimics of typically one of these natural variants	0.45% - 0.7%
sodium hyaluronate One of the best moisturizing ingredients. Attracts water into the upper layer of the skin	0.4% - 0.65%
nordihydroguaiaretic acid Used to stabilize the formula of product formulation. Might be helpful in neutralizing free radicals in skin	0.35% - 0.65%
oleanolic acid Might be helpful against blemishes, work as an anti-oxidant, reduce inflammation and improve skin's ability to hold on to moisture, but more research is needed to confirm its effectiveness when applied topically to human skin	0.35% - 0.6%
camellia sinensis leaf extract Can contain potent anti-oxidant compounds (abbreviated ECG, GCG, EGC, and EGCG) that might help protect the skin from free radicals. Can help calm down inflammation and has some anti-bacterial properties. Unfortunately, these antioxidants are unstable and lose their effectiveness very quickly in products. The concentration of the antioxidant compounds in the extract also tends to be low to be effective in topical formulation	0.35% - 0.65%
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%
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	0.3% - 0.6%
chamomilla recutita flower extract Plant extract that can have healing and anti-inflammatory properties. It is a potential allergen and can be irritating	0.25% - 0.45%
aloe barbadensis leaf juice powder 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	0.25% - 0.45%
panthenol Helps attract water to the upper layer of the skin and can help improve skin barrier function	0.25% - 0.4%
citric acid Can work as an exfoliant but is typically used to adjust the product pH	0.2% - 0.35%
palmitic acid An emollient that is naturally present in skin and helps soften it	0.25% - 0.45%
carbomer Helps create a thicker or gel-like product texture. It is not a surfactant but can be used in gentle cleansing formulations	0.2% - 0.35%
ethylhexylglycerin A preservative	0.2% - 0.35%
peg-60 almond glycerides	0.15% - 0.3%
caprylyl glycol Helps preserve products and creates a nice product texture	0.15% - 0.25%
hexylene glycol Helps create a more spreadable product texture	0.1% - 0.15%
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	0.05% - 0.1%
stearyl alcohol An emollient that helps soften the skin	0.1% - 0.2%
phenoxyethanol A preservative. It helps prevent bacterial growth in cosmetic products	0.05% - 0.1%
