"Hydrating Face 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: arginine, 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: arginine, caprylic/capric triglyceride.

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	3.9% - 5.8%
caprylic/capric triglyceride A good mix of fatty acids that forms a protective layer on the skin. Improves the shelf life of products. Derived from coconut and glycerin	3.8% - 5.6%
hydrogenated coconut oil	2.8% - 4.2%
isopropyl palmitate Helps soften the upper layer of the skin and create a thicker product consistency	2% - 3.1%
sucrose stearate Helps water and oil mix together	1.7% - 2.6%
dicaprylyl ether Helps soften the upper layer of the skin while creating a non-greasy feel on the skin. Helps to dissolve other ingredients	1.5% - 2.2%
alpha-glucan oligosaccharide Helps attract water to the upper layer of the skin	1.3% - 2%
glyceryl stearate An emollient that softens the skin and forms a protective layer on its surface. Helps water and oil mix together	1.1% - 1.6%
glyceryl stearate citrate Helps oil and water mix together while softening the upper layer of the skin	0.9% - 1.3%
inulin Helps attract water to the upper layer of the skin. Is claimed to support the growth of "good" bacteria in skin (as a "prebiotic"), but the research is lacking	0.5% - 1.2%
lactic acid An exfoliating and moisturizing alpha-hydroxy acid (AHA). Typically causes less irritation than other AHAs, for example, glycolic acid. At high concentrations (about 15%), lactic acid can help reduce lines and wrinkles. Recent studies show that lactic acid can support the "good" bacteria living on skin's surface (healthy skin microbiom)	0.4% - 0.95%
polymnia sonchifolia root juice A plant extract that helps attract water to the upper layer of the skin and might have some anti-oxidant properties	0.4% - 0.9%
lactobacillus A non-living ingredient made by fermentation with the bacteria Lactobacillus. It can help attract water to the upper layer of the skin and might help reduce inflammation	0.35% - 0.8%
maltodextrin Used to stabilize the product formulation and can help absorb oil	0.35% - 0.75%
myrtus communis leaf extract A plant extract that contains an essential oil and often used for its fragrance. Can be irritating. It has some anti-bacterial and anti-oxidant properties	0.2% - 0.8%
arginine An amino acid that is naturally present in skin and helps keep it hydrated. When used together with AHAs, it can reduce their irritating effect on the skin	0.2% - 0.8%
capryloyl glycine Helps oil and water mix together, preserve cosmetic products, and attract water to the upper layer of the skin	0.35% - 0.8%
potassium cetyl phosphate Helps oil and water mix together	0.2% - 0.75%
unknown The ingredient is not recognized	TBC
ethylhexyl salicylate Octisalate. A UV filter. It offers some protection against the sun rays that cause sunburn (UVB), but does not protect against the most aging sun rays (UVA). It loses its effectiveness quickly when exposed to sunlight. It is an organic, or so called "chemical" sunscreen	0.35% - 0.75%
unknown The ingredient is not recognized	TBC
undecylenoyl glycine	0.2% - 0.7%
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	0.1% - 0.5%
ethylhexyl salicylate Octisalate. A UV filter. It offers some protection against the sun rays that cause sunburn (UVB), but does not protect against the most aging sun rays (UVA). It loses its effectiveness quickly when exposed to sunlight. It is an organic, or so called "chemical" sunscreen	0.2% - 0.7%
acrylates copolymer Used to stabilize product formulation, help create an even product layer over skin (for example, in sunscreen) and create a thicker product consistency	0.1% - 0.35%
unknown The ingredient is not recognized	TBC
sodium hydroxide Used to adjust the product's pH	0.05% - 0.2%
