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)

Ingredient	Effectiveness	Concentration	Irritancy
sodium hyaluronate	HIGH
glycerin	HIGH
thermus thermophillus ferment	HIGH

Pos	Ingredient Name	Description
1	water\aqua\eau	Plain old water
2	kaolin	A type of clay that consists mainly of aluminum silicate. Helps absorb oil and creates a thicker product consistency. Can be used to add a white color
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	sodium myristoyl sarcosinate
5	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
6	caprylyl glycol	Helps preserve products and creates a nice product texture
7	gentiana lutea root extract	A plant extract that can help strengthen the skin barrier function and improve skin moisture levels
8	laminaria saccharina extract	A seaweed extract that contains sugars and can be helpful in attracting water to the upper layers of the skin if used in high enough concentrations
9	caffeine	Might be helpful in neutralizing free radicals. Can have a dehydration effect that might somewhat decrease the look of puffy eyes
10	sucrose	Can help attract water to the upper layer of the skin. In crystal form, it can work as a gentle exfoliant, gentler than the salt scrub. Helps stabilize the emulsion
11	thermus thermophillus ferment	Might be helpful in neutralising free radicals in skin and have some hydration properties
12	alcaligenes polysaccharides
13	ergothioneine	Can help neutralize free radicals in skin. Preliminary studies show that it can be more effective than coenzyme Q10 but studies on effective concentration for topical applications are lacking
14	algae extract	Plant extract that helps the skin to attract water and make it more smooth for touch. Also shows promise of anti-aging properties, but research is not extensive yet
15	dipotassium glycyrrhizate	A salt derived from licorice. Works as an emollient to soften the upper layer of the skin and can help calm down inflammation. Might be helpful for skin lightening
16	sodium hyaluronate	One of the best moisturizing ingredients. Attracts water into the upper layer of the skin
17	sodium magnesium silicate
18	xanthan gum	Used to create a thicker product consistency
19	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.
20	sodium myristate
21	tetrahexyldecyl ascorbate	Being a lipid soluble form of vitamin C, it is more stable. It is claimed to penetrate skin better than pure vitamin C and have the the similar benefits, but solid studies of its effectiveness are lacking. Is likely to require a higher concentration in a product than pure vitamin C to be effective.
22	citric acid	Can work as an exfoliant but is typically used to adjust the product pH
23	cyclodextrin	A type of sugar that is used to support delivery of active ingredients and can enhance their penetration into the skin without disrupting the skin's barrier
24	fragrance	An aromatic blend of unspecified irritating ingredients
25	potassium sorbate	A preservative
26	ethylbisiminomethylguaiacol manganese chloride	A potent anti-oxidant that can help neutralize free radicals in skin and protect from harmful effects of sun exposure, even though more studies are needed to confirm its effectiveness in topical applications
27	disodium edta	Stabilizes the product formulation
28	bht	A preservative
29	phenoxyethanol	A preservative. It helps prevent bacterial growth in cosmetic products
30	butylphenyl methylpropional	A fragrance. Can trigger allergic reactions and be irritating
31	benzyl salicylate	A fragrance. Is a likely irritant
32	linalool	A fragrance. Can be irritating
33	blue 1	A colorant (dye)
34	yellow 5	A yellow dye
35	titanium dioxide	Works as a UV filter when used in high concentrations. It is photostable and is effective mostly against the UVB light, with some protection in the UVA range. In small concentrations, used for its ability to improve the color of cosmetic products. Is usually well tolerated by the skin
