WIMJ FORMULA ANALYSIS

It can get the job done. Best in class ingredients detected

Ingredient	Effectiveness	Concentration	Irritancy
disodium lauryl sulfosuccinate	HIGH
sodium cocoyl isethionate	HIGH
stearic acid	HIGH

Pos	Ingredient Name	Description
1	disodium lauryl sulfosuccinate	Used as a cleansing agent. Helps water and oil mix together
2	maltodextrin	Used to stabilize the product formulation and can help absorb oil
3	sodium cocoyl isethionate	Helps water and oil mix together. Can be used as a cleansing agent
4	stearic acid	Helps oil and water mix together and works as an emollient
5	aqua (water	Plain old water
6	hydrogenated castor oil	A plant oil that can help soften the skin. It might be helpful in calming down inflammation, but solid research is lacking. Is often used in lip products to create the needed product consistency
7	cetyl alcohol	A non-drying alcohol that works to soften the skin and stabilize product formulations helping oil and water mix together
8	alpha-glucan oligosaccharide	Helps attract water to the upper layer of the skin
9	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
10	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)
11	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
12	citric acid	Can work as an exfoliant but is typically used to adjust the product pH
13	titanium dioxide	Works as a UV filter when used in high concentrations. It is photostable and is effective mostly against the UVB light, with some protection in the UVA range. In small concentrations, used for its ability to improve the color of cosmetic products. Is usually well tolerated by the skin
