WIMJ summary for exfoliation

This product does not contain effective exfoliating ingredients. It might be able to deliver physical exfoliation, that is scrub off some of the dead cells on the surface of the skin. We do not recommend physical exfoliation, because it is not uniform (some bits of skin can get exfoliated too much while others not at all). It can also traumatize the skin and aggrevate acne and other skin conditions.

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: glycerin, sodium hyaluronate.

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, salvia hispanica seed extract.

The following ingredients in this product are especially good for supporting the skin barrier and helping with the hydration level: ceramide 3, panthenol

stearic acid Helps oil and water mix together and works as an emollient	2.8% - 3.4%
lauric acid Helps water and oil mix together. Has anti-bacterial properties that might be helpful in preventing blemishes	2.3% - 2.8%

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	0.55% - 0.8%
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	0.55% - 0.8%
polyquaternium-7 Helps soften the upper layer of the skin and create a nice product finish	0.45% - 0.7%
ethyl hexanediol Used to dissolve other ingredients. Might be irritating	0.4% - 0.6%

glyceryl caprylate An emollient that can also help water and oil mix together, as well as prevent bacteria growth in products	0.35% - 0.6%
sea salt Used to thicken the product formulation and might help to add minerals to the surface of the skin. It is used in scrubs as a physical exfoliant. Can increase sensitivity to other ingredients if left on the skin or used in high concentration	0.25% - 0.45%
sodium benzoate A preservative	0.25% - 0.5%

hedera helix leaf extract	0.25% - 0.4%
camellia sinensis leaf extract Can contain potent anti-oxidant compounds (abbreviated ECG, GCG, EGC, and EGCG) that might help protect the skin from free radicals. Can help calm down inflammation and has some anti-bacterial properties. Unfortunately, these antioxidants are unstable and lose their effectiveness very quickly in products. The concentration of the antioxidant compounds in the extract also tends to be low to be effective in topical formulation	0.25% - 0.45%

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.

hamamelis virginiana water A plant extract that can help calm down inflammation in skin. Can, however, itself be irritating	0.2% - 0.35%

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)	0.25% - 0.45%
panthenol Helps attract water to the upper layer of the skin and can help improve skin barrier function	0.2% - 0.4%

It might be somewhat helpful in preventing premature skin aging but solid evidence is lacking. A small manufacturer study also shows that, when used in high concentrations, it can help reduce sebum production and help against blocked pores	0.2% - 0.35%
sodium hyaluronate One of the best moisturizing ingredients. Attracts water into the upper layer of the skin	0.2% - 0.35%
centella asiatica extract A plant extract that has been shown to be able to reduce inflammation in skin, support restoration of skin barrier function, as well as support collagen production. Contains active compounds called centelloids: asiaticoside, madecasosside, asiatic acid and madecassic acid. Might be helpful in preventing stretch marks. It can be itself be irritating though.	0.25% - 0.45%
