WIMJ summary for anti-aging

This product contains tocotrienols. 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.

"Olive Virgin Oil Essential 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, butylene glycol.

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: beeswax, caprylic/capric triglyceride.

Ingredient	Effectiveness	Concentration	Irritancy
squalane	HIGH
caprylic/capric triglyceride	HIGH
glycerin	HIGH

WIMJ summary for anti-oxidation

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

Ingredient	Effectiveness	Concentration	Irritancy
tocotrienols	HIGH

Ingredient	Irritancy	Skin Benefit
olea europaea fruit oil
caprylic/capric triglyceride
pentylene glycol

Ingredients by volume

Ingredient	Estimated concentration
water Plain old water	40% - 60%
olea europaea fruit oil An emollient that helps soften the skin but is not effective for restoring its barrier function. Might be helpful to calm down inflammation	5.4% - 8.1%
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	3.9% - 5.8%
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	2.7% - 4.1%
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	2.2% - 3.3%
squalane An oil naturally present in skin. Works as an emollient to soften the skin and form a protective layer on its surface without a greasy feeling.	1.8% - 2.7%
cetearyl alcohol A non-drying alcohol. Works as an emollient. Helps water and oil mix together and creates a nice product texture	1.5% - 2.2%
hydrogenated rice bran oil	1.1% - 1.7%
cetyl palmitate An emollient that helps soften the skin and is used to improve product texture and stability	0.95% - 1.45%
pentylene glycol Used to preserve products, dissolve other ingredients and create a nice product texture	0.55% - 1.35%
beeswax Forms a protective barrier that holds water and keeps dry skin hydrated. Keeps an emulsion from separating into its oil and liquid components, and increases the thickness of a product. Can be an allergen	0.5% - 1.2%
sodium acrylate/acryloyldimethyltaurate/dimethylacrylamide crosspolymer	0.35% - 0.8%
glyceryl stearate se Used to stabilize the product formulations and works as an emollient	0.15% - 0.65%
phenoxyethanol A preservative. It helps prevent bacterial growth in cosmetic products	0.15% - 0.5%
glyceryl stearate An emollient that softens the skin and forms a protective layer on its surface. Helps water and oil mix together	0.1% - 0.45%
tocotrienols A type of vitamin E that is more powerful in neutralizing free radicals compared to its other forms	0.05% - 0.25%
xanthan gum Used to create a thicker product consistency	0.05% - 0.2%
