WIMJ summary

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

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

Ingredients by volume

Ingredient	Estimated concentration
water Plain old water	40% - 60%
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	4.8% - 7.3%
pentylene glycol Used to preserve products, dissolve other ingredients and create a nice product texture	4.2% - 6.3%
peg-60 hydrogenated castor oil Helps oil and water mix together	3% - 4.4%
vaccinium myrtillus fruit extract A plant extract that might help neutralize free radicals in skin, but research on its efficacy in skin is lacking	2.1% - 3.2%
saccharum officinarum extract Sugar extract that helps attract water to the upper layer of the skin	1.7% - 2.6%
citrus aurantium dulcis fruit extract A plant extract that is used as a fragrance. Can be irritating and lead to photosensitivity	1.4% - 2.2%
citrus limon fruit extract Used as a fragrance. Can be irritating and cause photosensitivity	1.3% - 1.9%
acer saccharum extract A plant extract that contains small percentage of AHAs. Is unlikely to have any skin benefit due the small concentration of the active compounds	1% - 1.6%
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.	0.8% - 1.25%
ascorbyl tetraisopalmitate A vitamin C derivative. Studies show that is might be effective in reducing hyperpigmentation, but there are no studies confirming that it is effectively converted into the bioavailable form of Vitamin C in skin. It is not clear how this derivative compares in effectiveness to the topical application of bioavailable form of vitamin C (L-ascorbic acid)	0.5% - 1.15%
sodium tocopheryl phosphate	0.4% - 0.95%
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	0.35% - 0.8%
panthenol Helps attract water to the upper layer of the skin and can help improve skin barrier function	0.3% - 0.75%
magnesium aspartate Might be helpful in restoring skin barrier function and calm down inflammation in skin	0.2% - 0.8%
zinc gluconate Typically used to stabilize the product formulations. It is a salt of a polyhydroxy acid (PHA) and in larger concentrations, can help shed the dead cells from the skin surface revealing smoother skin. It can help attract water to the upper layer of the skin. Might to be helpful against acne and clogged pores. Could be helpful in neutralizing free radicals, but solid research is missing. Due to the zinc content, might help calm down inflammation in skin	0.15% - 0.7%
copper gluconate Typically used to stabilize the product formulations. It is a salt of polyhydroxy acid (PHA) and in larger concentrations, can help shed the dead cells from the skin surface revealing smoother skin. It can help attract water to the upper layer of the skin. Might to be helpful against acne and clogged pores. Could be helpful in neutralizing free radicals, but solid research is missing	0.15% - 0.55%
propanediol Acts as a solvent for other ingredients. Speeds up the absorption of other ingredients into the skin	0.15% - 0.55%
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	0.1% - 0.45%
citric acid Can work as an exfoliant but is typically used to adjust the product pH	0.1% - 0.4%
menthoxypropanediol Used as a fragrance. Can be irritating	0.1% - 0.3%
parfum An aromatic blend of unspecified and possibly irritating ingredients	0.05% - 0.25%
phenoxyethanol A preservative. It helps prevent bacterial growth in cosmetic products	0.05% - 0.25%
limonene A common frangrance that can easily irritate skin, especially if exposed to air, light or heat	0.05% - 0.1%
linalool A fragrance. Can be irritating	0.01% - 0.1%
