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: biosaccharide gum-1, cyclomethicone.

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: caprylic/capric triglyceride, dimethicone.

The following ingredients in this product are especially good for supporting the skin barrier and helping with the hydration level: urea

Ingredient	Effectiveness	Concentration	Irritancy

sodium lactate

Ingredients by volume

Ingredient	Estimated concentration
water Plain old water	40% - 60%
urea Naturally present in skin (urea makes up about 7% of natural moisturizing factors in skin). Attracts water to the upper layer of the skin. Also has a positive effect on the skin barrier beyond the humectant action. Can enhance penetration of other ingredients. Is an exfoliating ingredient when used in high concentrations	8.5% - 12.8%
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	3.8% - 5.7%
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% - 4.5%
cyclomethicone A type of silicone that leaves a nice silky finish on the skin and can help soften its upper layer	2.2% - 3.3%
dimethicone A silicone that helps to reduce water loss from the surface of the skin. Can temporarily "fill in" lines and wrinkles, absorb oil, and create a nice product finish	1.8% - 2.7%
pentaerythrityl tetraisostearate Used to create a thicker product consistency	1.5% - 2.2%
triisostearin	1.1% - 1.7%
cetyl alcohol A non-drying alcohol that works to soften the skin and stabilize product formulations helping oil and water mix together	1.1% - 1.6%
sodium lactate Helps attract water to the upper layer of the skin. Is often used to adjust the pH level of the product	0.6% - 1.4%
glyceryl stearate se Used to stabilize the product formulations and works as an emollient	0.5% - 1.15%
unknown The ingredient is not recognized	TBC
peg-40 stearate Helps oil and water mix together	0.2% - 0.75%
biosaccharide gum-1 Helps attract water to the upper layer of the skin and is claimed to provide a longer-lasting hydration because of its ability to create a water-binding film on the surface of the skin	0.1% - 0.45%
methylparaben A preservative	0.15% - 0.3%
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)	0.05% - 0.25%
phenoxyethanol A preservative. It helps prevent bacterial growth in cosmetic products	0.05% - 0.25%
