WIMJ summary

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 - butyrospermum parkii butter - could be helpful for preventing or repairing signs of aging in theory, but there is no evidence that it actually works.

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: butyrospermum parkii butter, caprylic/capric triglyceride.

Ingredient	Effectiveness	Concentration	Irritancy
sodium hyaluronate	HIGH

Ingredients by volume

Ingredient	Estimated concentration
water Plain old water	40% - 60%
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	5.7% - 8.6%
dimethicone/vinyl dimethicone crosspolymer Used to stabilize product formulations and create a nice product texture	4% - 5.9%
lauryl peg-8 dimethicone A type of silicone that helps water and oil mix together	2.8% - 4.2%
nylon-6/12	2.2% - 3.3%
maltodextrin Used to stabilize the product formulation and can help absorb oil	1.8% - 2.7%
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	1.6% - 2.4%
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	1.4% - 2.1%
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% - 1.7%
pyrus malus fruit extract Can have some moisturizing properties due to its sugar content	0.8% - 1.25%
swertia chirata extract A plant extract that can have an anti-bacterial and anti-inflammatory effect, but evidence of effectiveness is lacking	0.5% - 1.2%
aloe barbadensis leaf extract 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	0.45% - 1.1%
sodium hyaluronate One of the best moisturizing ingredients. Attracts water into the upper layer of the skin	0.35% - 0.85%
butyrospermum parkii butter unsaponifiables A great moisturizing ingredient that softens the skin and reduces water loss from its upper layer. It also can be helpful in protecting skin from free radicals	0.35% - 0.8%

hydroxymethoxyphenyl propylmethylmethoxybenzofuran Is claimed by the manufacturer to be able to plump lips and have an anti-aging effect. The way it would work, however, is not clear that the evidence of effectiveness is lacking. It can be irritating	0.1% - 0.45%
ethylhexylglycerin A preservative	0.1% - 0.35%
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.	0.1% - 0.35%
