WIMJ summary for moisturizing

This product can help soften the skin and reduce its moisture loss with emollients and occlusives: beeswax, butyrospermum parkii butter.

Keep in mind that this product does not contain effective ingredients to attract water to the upper layer of the skin. This is why an additional product with humectants like glycerin or hyaluronic acid can be helpful (apply it before this product for the best results).

Ingredient	Effectiveness	Concentration	Irritancy
beeswax	HIGH
beta-sitosterol	HIGH
butyrospermum parkii butter	HIGH

WIMJ summary for anti-oxidation

This product contains antioxidants (squalene) 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
squalene	MEDIUM
butyrospermum parkii butter	LOW
tocopherol	HIGH

Ingredients by volume

Ingredient	Estimated concentration
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	22% - 33%
beeswax Forms a protective barrier that holds water and keeps dry skin hydrated. Keeps an emulsion from separating into its oil and liquid components, and increases the thickness of a product. Can be an allergen	5.8% - 8.7%
cocos nucifera oil An emollient. Found to be as effective as a moisturizer for dry skin as mineral oil. Could be comedogenic	4.9% - 7.4%
copernicia cerifera cera Brazilian palm wax. Helps soften the upper layer of the skin	4.1% - 6.1%
copernicia cerifera wax Helps to soften the upper layer of the skin and create a nice product consistency	3% - 4.6%
simmondsia chinensis seed oil Softens the upper layer of skin and helps restore the healthy skin barrier. Has shown to help calm down inflammation in skin. It is a stable oil, meaning that it retains its properties even when exposed to air.	2.3% - 3.5%
aroma An unspecified blend of fragrant irritating ingredients	1.5% - 2.3%
butyrospermum parkii butter A great moisturising ingredient that softens the skin and reduces water loss from its upper layer. It also can be helpful in protecting skin from free radicals	1.6% - 2.3%
olea europaea fruit oil An emollient that helps soften the skin but is not effective for restoring its barrier function. Might be helpful to calm down inflammation	1.1% - 1.6%
prunus armeniaca fruit extract A fruit extract that might have some antioxidant properties and might help attract water to the skin, but evidence of effectiveness is lacking	0.8% - 1.2%
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	0.5% - 1.15%
stevia rebaudiana leaf/stem extract	0.4% - 1%
beta-sitosterol A phytosterol that can support skin's barrier function and help the skin stay hydrated	0.45% - 1%
squalene An oil that is naturally part of skin sebum that helps to soften its upper layer, reduce water loss and neutralize free radicals. It might be comedogenic. Avoid applying large concentrations (or pure oil) before sun exposure as oxidized squalene can clog pores and lead to skin irritation. Today squalene is mostly derived from vegetable oils or synthetized by yeast	0.4% - 0.9%
limonene A common frangrance that can easily irritate skin, especially if exposed to air, light or heat	0.1% - 0.5%
linalool A fragrance. Can be irritating	0.1% - 0.35%
aroma An unspecified blend of fragrant irritating ingredients	0.05% - 0.25%
