"Olive Oil-Packed with anti-aging antioxidants and hydrating squalene, it moisturizes while providing a buffer between your razor and your skin."

Bluemercury

WIMJ summary

This product can help reduce and prevent fine lines and wrinkles, improve skin elasticity and firmness because it contains gluconolactone.

Keep in mind that it typically takes at least 6 weeks to notice any results because the changes that are needed to improve fine lines and elasticity happen in the deeper layers of the skin. No topical anti-aging product can “erase” wrinkles or fully reverse signs of aging.

WIMJ summary

This product can help reduce hypepigmentation and even out the skin tone because it contains the following effective ingredients: gluconolactone

Keep in mind that you would need to apply any topical skincare targetted at hypigmentation consistently for a couple of months to get a result. No topical skincare product can help get rid of hyperpigmentation (including post-acne marks and age spots) instantly.

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: gluconolactone.

"Shave Cream"

From product name

WIMJ summary

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: allantoin, glycerin.

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: c13-16 isoparaffin, cannabis sativa seed oil.

Ingredient	Effectiveness	Concentration	Irritancy
saccharide isomerate	HIGH
triheptanoin	HIGH
allantoin	HIGH

WIMJ summary

This product contains antioxidants (gluconolactone) 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.

Ingredients by volume

Ingredient	Estimated concentration
water Plain old water	45% - 55%
sodium cocoyl isethionate Helps water and oil mix together. Can be used as a cleansing agent	10% - 13%
cocamidopropyl betaine Helps water and oil mix together. Used as a cleansing ingredient. Could be an allergen	5.8% - 7.1%
stearic acid Helps oil and water mix together and works as an emollient	2.9% - 3.5%
decyl glucoside Helps oil and water mix together. Can be irritating	2.4% - 2.9%
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	2% - 2.4%
gluconolactone A polyhydroxy acid (PHA) that helps shed the dead cells from the skin surface revealing smoother skin. Is believed to be genter than AHAs. It helps attract water to the upper layer of the skin and can stimulate production of skin's own hyaluronic acid resulting in improved hydration levels. It has been shown to be helpful against acne and clogged pores if used consistently (e.g over a period of 12 weeks) in high enough concentration. It can help reduce fine lines and wrinkles and improve skin tone with long-term application. Can help neutralize free radicals	1.6% - 1.9%
cetyl alcohol A non-drying alcohol that works to soften the skin and stabilize product formulations helping oil and water mix together	1.4% - 1.7%
aloe barbadensis leaf juice Traditionally used to treat sunburns, dermatitis and inflammation, but evidence for its effectiveness is lacking. The extract can contain humectants that help attract water into the skin	1.1% - 1.3%
sorbitol Helps attract water to the upper layer of the skin and improves the product texture	0.8% - 1.15%
cetearyl alcohol A non-drying alcohol. Works as an emollient. Helps water and oil mix together and creates a nice product texture	0.75% - 1.1%
saccharide isomerate Helps attract water to the upper layer of the skin	0.55% - 0.8%
althaea officinalis root extract A plant extract that can help attract water to the upper layer of the skin and might help to reduce inflammation	0.5% - 0.75%
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	0.5% - 0.75%
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	0.4% - 0.65%
cannabis sativa seed oil A plant oil that due to its high linoleic acid content can help strengthen skin's barrier function and soften its upper layer	0.45% - 0.65%
allantoin Helps calm down inflammation in skin and can help reduce itching. Helps to repair the skin barrier and keep skin hydrated	0.3% - 0.6%
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	0.25% - 0.45%
lavandula angustifolia oil An essential oil. Potential allergen and can be irritating. It has some anti-bacterial properties	0.2% - 0.4%
salvia sclarea oil	0.2% - 0.4%
citrus limon peel oil A highly irritating fragrance	0.15% - 0.3%
triheptanoin A synthetic triglyceride. Helps soften the upper layer of the skin	0.15% - 0.3%
c13-16 isoparaffin Is mostly used to dissolve other ingredients. Helps soften the upper layer of the skin. It might be comedogenic when used in high concentrations	0.15% - 0.3%

sodium benzoate A preservative	0.1% - 0.15%
sodium hydroxide Used to adjust the product's pH	0.05% - 0.1%
limonene A common frangrance that can easily irritate skin, especially if exposed to air, light or heat	0.05% - 0.05%
