"Hydracure Intense Comfort Hydrating Mask"

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: glycerin, hydrolyzed hyaluronic acid.

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: caprylic/capric triglyceride, caprylyl glycol.

Ingredients by volume

Ingredient	Estimated concentration
isopropyl palmitate Helps soften the upper layer of the skin and create a thicker product consistency	23% - 34%
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	5.8% - 8.7%
water Plain old water	3.5% - 5.3%
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	2.5% - 3.7%
isohexadecane Improves the texture of the product and helps soften the skin. Helps oil and water mix together and can be used as a cleansing agent	1.9% - 2.9%
sucrose laurate Helps oil and water mix together. Can be used as a cleansing agent	1.5% - 2.3%
talc Absorbs oil and moisture helping to create a dryer product finish	1.4% - 2.1%

sodium hyaluronate One of the best moisturizing ingredients. Attracts water into the upper layer of the skin	0.45% - 1.1%
hydrolyzed hyaluronic acid One of the best moisturizing ingredients. Attracts water into the upper layer of the skin. A version of it is naturally present in skin	0.4% - 0.95%
hydrogenated lecithin Helps to retain moisture by creating a protective barrier on the skin. Rich in fatty acids. Improves product texture and helps with the penetration of other ingredients.	0.35% - 0.85%
