WIMJ FORMULA ANALYSIS

Yes. Has good ingredients to attract water to the skin. But: it can't help seal in the moisture and reduce water loss over time, so you might want to use an additional product with good emollient ingredients (like oils, butters, or silicones)

Pos Ingredient Name Description
1 water (aqua Plain old water
2 ethanol Can be drying and contribute to skin irritation. Used in formulars to dissolve other ingredients, create a thinner product consistency or for its antibacterial properties
3 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 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)
5 xanthan gum Used to create a thicker product consistency
6 phenoxyethanol A preservative. It helps prevent bacterial growth in cosmetic products
7 betaine Helps attract water to the upper layer of the skin and improves the product texture
8 nicotinamide Is proven to be effective in reducing blemishes, evening out skin tone and helping to improve lines and wrinkles. It helps the skin to repair sun damage, calm down inflammation and keep maintain good levels of moisture
9 hamamelis virginiana (witch hazel) water A plant extract that can help calm down inflammation in skin. Can, however, itself be irritating
10 caprylyl glycol Helps preserve products and creates a nice product texture
11 ethoxydiglycol Helps to improve the product consistency
12 propylene glycol Helps oil and water mix together and can enhance the penetration of other ingredients into the skin
13 glucose Helps attract water to the upper layer of the skin. Could be helpful in restoring the skin barrier function
14 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 microbiom)
15 chamomilla retutica extract Plant extract that can have healing and anti-inflammatory properties. It is a potential allergen and can be irritating
16 bisabolol An active component of chamomile plant that historically has been used to calm down irritated skin. A recent study shows that bisabolol indeed can have some anti-inflammatory effect on skin, even though conclusive data is lacking. Bisabolol has a sweet floral scent and can be added to products for its aromatic properties
17 niacinamide (vitamin b3 Is proven to be effective in reducing blemishes, evening out skin tone and helping to improve lines and wrinkles. It helps the skin to repair sun damage, calm down inflammation and keep maintain good levels of moisture
