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: cyclomethicone, 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: caprylic/capric triglyceride, dimethicone.

The following ingredients in this product are especially good for supporting the skin barrier and helping with the hydration level: acetyl tetrapeptide-15

Ingredient	Effectiveness	Concentration	Irritancy
sodium hyaluronate	HIGH
caprylic/capric triglyceride	HIGH
cyclomethicone	HIGH

WIMJ summary for anti-aging

This product contains acetyl tetrapeptide-15. 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.

Ingredient	Effectiveness	Concentration	Irritancy
acetyl tetrapeptide-15	MEDIUM

IRRITANCY

HIGH

Ingredient	Irritancy	Skin Benefit
caprylic/capric triglyceride
oenothera biennis oil
leuconostoc/radish root ferment filtrate

Ingredients by volume

Ingredient	Estimated concentration
water Plain old water	45% - 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	4.5% - 5.5%
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	4% - 4.9%
cyclomethicone A type of silicone that leaves a nice silky finish on the skin and can help soften its upper layer	3.1% - 3.8%
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	2.4% - 3%

behenyl alcohol Non-drying alcohol that helps water and oil mix together. Also serves as an emollient	1.6% - 1.9%
