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, hyaluronic acid.

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
hyaluronic acid	HIGH
beta-glucan	HIGH

WIMJ summary for anti-oxidation

This product contains antioxidants (malpighia punicifolia fruit 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
malpighia punicifolia fruit extract	MEDIUM
syzygium luehmannii fruit extract	LOW
beta-glucan	LOW

Ingredient	Irritancy	Skin Benefit
citrus glauca fruit extract

Ingredients by volume

Ingredient	Estimated concentration
water Plain old water	40% - 60%
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	4.1% - 6.1%
hyaluronic acid One of the best moisturizing ingredients. Attracts water into the upper layer of the skin. Naturally present in skin. Typically has large molecule size unless advertised otherwise on the product label. Helps support skin's barrier function and may help to reduce inflammation	3.5% - 5.3%
glyceryl caprylate An emollient that can also help water and oil mix together, as well as prevent bacteria growth in products	2.5% - 3.7%
citrus glauca fruit extract	2.1% - 3.1%
davidsonia pruriens fruit extract	1.6% - 2.3%
sodium levulinate A preservative	1.2% - 1.8%
sodium anisate Used as a fragrance	1.1% - 1.6%
citrus aurantium dulcis peel oil An essentil oil from orange peel. Potential allergen and can be irritating	0.6% - 1.35%
malpighia punicifolia fruit extract A fruit extract that might help neutralize free radicals. The concentrations typically used in cosmetics are too small to have an effect	0.5% - 1.1%
terminalia ferdinandiana fruit extract A plant extract that might have some anti-oxidant effect in skin, but evidence is lacking	0.4% - 0.95%
syzygium luehmannii fruit extract	0.2% - 0.7%
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	0.15% - 0.5%
beta-glucan Helps attract water to the upper layer of the skin, calm down inflammation and irritation, restore the barrier function and support wound healing. It can be helpful in reducing fine lines and wrinkles	0.1% - 0.35%
caprylyl glycol Helps preserve products and creates a nice product texture	0.1% - 0.35%
limonene A common frangrance that can easily irritate skin, especially if exposed to air, light or heat	0.05% - 0.15%
