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: helianthus annuus seed oil, glycine soja oil.

The following ingredients in this product are especially good for supporting the skin barrier and helping with the hydration level: ceramide 2, palmitoyl oligopeptide, palmitoyl tetrapeptide-7, panthenol

Ingredient	Effectiveness	Concentration	Irritancy
palmitoyl oligopeptide	HIGH
panthenol	HIGH
palmitoyl tetrapeptide-7	HIGH

Potential irritants

IRRITANCY

MEDIUM

Ingredient	Irritancy	Skin Benefit
peg-40 hydrogenated castor oil
ethoxydiglycol
pentaerythrityl tetraisostearate

Ingredients by volume

Ingredient	Estimated concentration
water Plain old water	45% - 55%
peg-40 hydrogenated castor oil Helps oil and water mix together	5.3% - 6.4%
ethoxydiglycol Helps to improve the product consistency	3.9% - 4.8%
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	3% - 3.7%
pentaerythrityl tetraisostearate Used to create a thicker product consistency	2.3% - 2.9%
panthenol Helps attract water to the upper layer of the skin and can help improve skin barrier function	1.9% - 2.3%
c12-15 alkyl benzoate Enhances the product texture and makes it more spreadable. Helps reduce water loss from the outer layer of skin. Extands the shelf life by preventing bacteria growth	1.6% - 2%
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	1.4% - 1.7%
acrylates/c10-30 alkyl acrylate crosspolymer Maintains the texture of skincare products. Allows the product to spread evenly. Helps oil and water mix together	1.2% - 1.5%
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.	1% - 1.2%
tribehenin Used to create a thicker product consistency and soften the upper layer of the skin	0.75% - 1.1%
ascorbyl tetraisopalmitate A vitamin C derivative. Studies show that is might be effective in reducing hyperpigmentation, but there are no studies confirming that it is effectively converted into the bioavailable form of Vitamin C in skin. It is not clear how this derivative compares in effectiveness to the topical application of bioavailable form of vitamin C (L-ascorbic acid)	0.65% - 0.95%
retinyl palmitate Three steps removed from the active form of vitamin A - retinoic acid. To have an effect in the skin, it first needs to be converted twice to become the retinoic acid. This means it is less potent than retinol, but could also be less irritating. Once converted to the retinoic acid in the skin, it helps against all signs of aging, improves skin cell turnover and helps fight blemishes and clogged pores. However, in many cosmetic formulations, it is used in a concentration that is too low to have the full effect	0.55% - 0.8%
glycine soja oil A good emollient that helps soften the skin and helps repair its barrier function	0.55% - 0.8%
palmitoyl oligopeptide A type of peptide. Peptides are excellent moisturizers and might be able support collagen production reducing fine lines and wrinkles	0.6% - 0.85%
palmitoyl tetrapeptide-7 A type of peptide. Peptides are excellent moisturizers and might be able support collagen production reducing fine lines and wrinkles	0.5% - 0.8%
ceramide 2 A type of lipid similar to ceramides naturally present in skin. Helps to soften the upper layer of the skin and supports the skin barrier function to keep it hydrated. Can help to prevent inflammation in skin	0.5% - 0.75%
peg-10 rapeseed sterol	0.5% - 0.8%
sodium hydroxide Used to adjust the product's pH	0.35% - 0.6%
tocopherol Pure form of vitamin E. Can help moisturise and protect the skin from free radicals. Often used to help stabilise other ingredients or the formula itself	0.3% - 0.6%
disodium edta Stabilizes the product formulation	0.3% - 0.5%
polygonum cuspidatum extract	0.25% - 0.5%
aspalathus linearis leaf extract Plant extract that might have help to neutralize free radicals in skin, but evidence of effectiveness is skin is lacking	0.25% - 0.4%
cyclopia genistoides leaf extract	0.2% - 0.4%
rosmarinus officinalis leaf extract Can be helpful in reducing inflammation in skin. Is a likely irritant	0.15% - 0.3%
carbomer Helps create a thicker or gel-like product texture. It is not a surfactant but can be used in gentle cleansing formulations	0.15% - 0.3%
polysorbate 20 Helps oil and water mix together	0.15% - 0.3%
maltodextrin Used to stabilize the product formulation and can help absorb oil	0.15% - 0.25%
helianthus annuus seed oil A great emollient due to its high linoleic acid content. One of the most effective plant oils in helping skin hydration and repairing skin barrier function	0.15% - 0.25%
hydroxypropyl guar hydroxypropyltrimonium chloride Helps reduce the irritating effect of surfactants	0.05% - 0.15%
