WIMJ summary

This product can help exfoliate the skin. In other words, it helps break down the bonds between dead cells on the surface of the skin and speed up the skin turnover. Skin often appears softer and brighter after exfoliation, but overdoing it can result in disrupted skin barrier. The following ingredient is doing the exfoliating job in this product: salicylic acid.

Ingredient	Effectiveness	Concentration	Irritancy

WIMJ summary

This product contains good ingredients to attract water to the upper layer of the skin. These ingredients are called "humectants": allantoin, glycerin.

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. If the air is dry, humectants can speed up the moisture loss from the skin. This is why it is a good idea to use another product on top of this one to help "seal in" the moisture (look for ingredients like dimethicone, squalane, oils and butters).

Ingredients by volume

Ingredient	Estimated concentration
salicylic acid Used for skin exfoliation. It has an anti-inflammatory and anti-bacterial effect, helps to unclog pores, prevent blemishes and speed up healing of the existing ones. Sometimes referred to as a BHA (beta-hydroxy acid)	2% Declared
alcohol denat. Produces temporary toning effect. Can help dissolve other ingredients or preserve products	24% - 36%
allantoin Helps calm down inflammation in skin and can help reduce itching. Helps to repair the skin barrier and keep skin hydrated	6.6% - 9.9%
bisabolol An active component of chamomile plant that historically has been used to calm down irritated skin. A recent study shows that bisabolol indeed can have some anti-inflammatory effect on skin, even though conclusive data is lacking. Bisabolol has a sweet floral scent and can be added to products for its aromatic properties	3.6% - 5.4%
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	2.9% - 4.4%
caprylyl glycol Helps preserve products and creates a nice product texture	2.6% - 3.9%
carbomer Helps create a gel-like product texture. Can be used in gentle cleansing formulations	2.1% - 3.1%
citric acid Can work as an exfoliant but is typically used to adjust the product pH	1.8% - 2.6%
dimethyl isosorbide Used to dissolve other ingredients in a product and can enhance their ability to penetrate the skin	1.5% - 2.3%
disodium edta Stabilizes the product formulation	0.5% - 1%
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	1% - 1.45%
hydroxyethylcellulose Used to thicken product formulations and create gel-like textures	0.55% - 1.3%
nordihydroguaiaretic acid Used to stabilize the formula of product formulation. Might be helpful in neutralizing free radicals in skin	0.45% - 1.05%
oleanolic acid Might be helpful against blemishes, work as an anti-oxidant, reduce inflammation and improve skin's ability to hold on to moisture, but more research is needed to confirm its effectiveness when applied topically to human skin	0.4% - 0.95%
peg-60 almond glycerides	0.4% - 0.9%
peg-40 hydrogenated castor oil Helps oil and water mix together	0.4% - 0.9%
peg-8/smdi copolymer	0.35% - 0.75%
saccharide isomerate Helps attract water to the upper layer of the skin	0.2% - 0.75%
sodium citrate Helps to control the skin's pH level. Maintains the skin's natural film of amino-lactic acids and oils. Helps to preserve products	0.2% - 0.75%
sodium hydroxide Used to adjust the product's pH	0.15% - 0.65%
tetrahexyldecyl ascorbate Being a lipid soluble form of vitamin C. It is more stable than ascorbic acid, but still degrades quickly and needs to be stabilized in a formulation with another ingredient. 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.	0.15% - 0.55%
water Plain old water	0.1% - 0.5%
