WIMJ summary for anti-aging

This product does not contain ingredients that are able to reduce fine lines and wrinkles or help with skin elasticity, but it can improve the look of the skin temporarily through moisturization. Well-moisturized skin might also be able to repair the sun damage better.This ingredient - camellia sinensis leaf extract - could be helpful for preventing or repairing signs of aging in theory, but there is no evidence that it actually works.

This ingredient camellia sinensis leaf extract might be able to help neutralize free radicals in skin and help it fight off some of the sun damage.

WIMJ summary for exfoliation

This product can help exfoliate the skin. In other words, it helps break down the bonds between dead cells on the surface of the skin and speed up the skin turnover. Skin often appears softer and brighter after exfoliation, but overdoing it can result in disrupted skin barrier. The following ingredient is doing the exfoliating job in this product: salicylic acid.

WIMJ summary for moisturizing

This product contains good ingredients to attract water to the upper layer of the skin. These ingredients are called "humectants": glycerin, hydrolyzed glycosaminoglycans.

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. If the air is dry, humectants can speed up the moisture loss from the skin. This is why it is a good idea to use another product on top of this one to help "seal in" the moisture (look for ingredients like dimethicone, squalane, oils and butters).

Ingredient	Effectiveness	Concentration	Irritancy
glycerin	HIGH
saccharum officinarum extract	HIGH

WIMJ summary for anti-oxidation

This product contains antioxidants (camellia sinensis leaf extract) 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
camellia sinensis leaf extract	MEDIUM
hibiscus esculentus fruit extract	LOW
aspalathus linearis leaf extract	LOW

salicylic acid

Ingredients by volume

Ingredient	Estimated concentration
water Plain old water	40% - 60%
ppg-2 isoceteth-20 acetate Helps water and oil mix together	3.5% - 5.2%
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	3.4% - 5.1%
ethoxydiglycol Helps to improve the product consistency	2.5% - 3.8%
salicylic acid Used for skin exfoliation. It has an anti-inflammatory and anti-bacterial effect, helps to unclog pores, prevent blemishes and speed up healing of the existing ones. Sometimes referred to as a BHA (beta-hydroxy acid)	1.25% - 2.5%
pentylene glycol Used to preserve products, dissolve other ingredients and create a nice product texture	1.7% - 2.6%
perfluorononylethyl carboxydecyl peg-10 dimethicone	1.4% - 2.2%
citrus aurantium amara flower extract Used as a fragrance for its citrus smell. Can be irritating	1.2% - 1.8%
aspalathus linearis leaf extract Plant extract that might have help to neutralize free radicals in skin, but evidence of effectiveness is skin is lacking	1% - 1.5%
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	0.85% - 1.25%
pyrus malus fruit extract Can have some moisturizing properties due to its sugar content	0.5% - 1.15%
citrus aurantium dulcis fruit extract A plant extract that is used as a fragrance. Can be irritating and lead to photosensitivity	0.4% - 1%
saccharum officinarum extract Sugar extract that helps attract water to the upper layer of the skin	0.4% - 0.9%
citrus limon peel extract A very irritating fragrant ingredient	0.35% - 0.85%
oryza sativa extract A grain extract that helps to create a thicker product consistency. It might have some anti-oxidant properties and help attract water to the upper layer of the skin	0.35% - 0.85%
citrus grandis peel oil A plant oil with high content of volatile compounds that, especially when exposed to air, can cause allergic reactions and irritate the skin	0.3% - 0.75%
citrus unshiu peel extract	0.35% - 0.8%
sodium hyaluronate One of the best moisturizing ingredients. Attracts water into the upper layer of the skin	0.3% - 0.7%
lactic acid An exfoliating and moisturizing alpha-hydroxy acid (AHA). Typically causes less irritation than other AHAs, for example, glycolic acid. At high concentrations (about 15%), lactic acid can help reduce lines and wrinkles. Recent studies show that lactic acid can support the "good" bacteria living on skin's surface (healthy skin microbiome)	0.2% - 0.75%
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	0.2% - 0.8%
bacillus ferment A product of bacterial fermentation. Can help attract water to the upper layer of the skin	0.15% - 0.65%
zostera marina extract	0.15% - 0.65%
hydrolyzed glycosaminoglycans Long sugars that help attract water to the upper layer of the skin	0.15% - 0.6%
hibiscus esculentus fruit extract A plant extract that might help to neutralize free radicals. It can be irritating	0.15% - 0.6%
peg-90m	0.15% - 0.6%
