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: polyglycerin-3.

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: beeswax, bis-diglyceryl polyacyladipate-2.

Ingredient	Effectiveness	Concentration	Irritancy

ricinus communis seed oil A plant oil that can help soften the skin. It might be helpful in calming down inflammation, but solid research is lacking. Is often used in lip products to create the needed product consistency	5.7% - 8.6%
bis-diglyceryl polyacyladipate-2 Helps soften the upper layer of the skin and reduce water loss from its surface	4.9% - 7.3%
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	4% - 6%
jojoba esters An emollient made of jojoba oil. Helps soften the skin and support its barrier function	3% - 4.5%
cocos nucifera oil An emollient. Found to be as effective as a moisturizer for dry skin as mineral oil. Could be comedogenic	2.3% - 3.5%

helianthus annuus seed cera Helps soften the upper layer of the skin	1.3% - 1.9%
