WIMJ summary for evens skin tone

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

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.

Ingredient	Effectiveness	Concentration	Irritancy
acetyl glucosamine	HIGH
niacinamide	HIGH
dipotassium glycyrrhizate	LOW

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: caprylic/capric triglyceride, pentylene glycol.

The following ingredients in this product are especially good for supporting the skin barrier and helping with the hydration level: acetyl glucosamine

Ingredient	Effectiveness	Concentration	Irritancy
acetyl glucosamine	HIGH
caprylic/capric triglyceride	HIGH
glycerin	HIGH

See a mistake?

WIMJ summary for anti-aging

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

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.

Ingredient	Effectiveness	Concentration	Irritancy
acetyl glucosamine	HIGH
aloe barbadensis leaf juice	LOW
niacinamide	HIGH

Potential irritants

IRRITANCY

MEDIUM

Ingredient	Irritancy	Skin Benefit
aloe barbadensis leaf juice
sodium c14-16 olefin sulfonate
hamamelis virginiana water

Ingredients by volume

Ingredient	Estimated concentration
water Plain old water	45% - 55%
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	6.2% - 7.5%
sodium c14-16 olefin sulfonate Helps oil and water mix together and used as a cleansing agent. Can be irritating and is better avoided for sensitive skin	5.8% - 7.1%
bentonite Helps stabilize the product formulation	3.1% - 3.8%
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	2.3% - 2.8%
kaolin A type of clay that consists mainly of aluminum silicate. Helps absorb oil and creates a thicker product consistency. Can be used to add a white color	2% - 2.4%
hamamelis virginiana water A plant extract that can help calm down inflammation in skin. Can, however, itself be irritating	1.3% - 1.6%
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	1.4% - 1.8%
ethyl perfluorobutyl ether	1.1% - 1.3%
sodium cocoamphoacetate Helps oil and water mix together and works as a cleansing agent. Creates foam	1% - 1.3%
cocamidopropyl betaine Helps water and oil mix together. Used as a cleansing ingredient. Could be an allergen	1.2% - 1.5%
ethyl perfluoroisobutyl ether	0.55% - 0.8%
niacinamide Is proven to be effective in reducing blemishes, evening out skin tone and helping to improve lines and wrinkles. It helps the skin to repair sun damage, calm down inflammation and keep maintain good levels of moisture. The concentration of about 2% is effective for supporting the skin barrier and evening out the skin tone. Concentration of 4-6% is better for helping with acne and balancing the sebum production	0.5% - 0.75%
sodium hyaluronate One of the best moisturizing ingredients. Attracts water into the upper layer of the skin	0.45% - 0.65%
avena sativa kernel extract An effective moisturizing and skin barrier repair ingredient. Helps calm down inflammation and has some anti-oxidant properties	0.45% - 0.65%
pyrus malus fruit extract Can have some moisturizing properties due to its sugar content	0.4% - 0.6%
allantoin Helps calm down inflammation in skin and can help reduce itching. Helps to repair the skin barrier and keep skin hydrated	0.35% - 0.65%
acetyl glucosamine An effective moisturizing ingredient that also has been shown to be effective in evening out the skin tone and reducing hyperpigmentation. It can help somewhat reduce wrinkles in skin	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	0.3% - 0.5%
dipotassium glycyrrhizate A salt derived from licorice. Works as an emollient to soften the upper layer of the skin and can help calm down inflammation. Might be helpful for skin lightening	0.3% - 0.5%
ethylhexylglycerin A preservative	0.25% - 0.5%
menthol	0.25% - 0.45%
ppg-26-buteth-26 Helps oil and water mix together	0.25% - 0.5%

sodium chloride Used to stabilize mixtures of oil and water, and create thicker, gel-like product textures	0.25% - 0.5%
xanthan gum Used to create a thicker product consistency	0.25% - 0.45%
butyl methoxydibenzoylmethane Avobenzone. An organic, or so-called "chemical" UV filter. Protects against both UVA and UVB rays. Needs to be combined with other filters in a formulation to be stable.	0.45% - 0.65%
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	0.45% - 0.65%
ethylhexyl methoxycinnamate Octinoxate. When used in higher concentrations, works as a sunscreen protecting the skin from UVB rays. When used in lower concentration, helps to preserve the product formulation. Is shown to be harmful to coral reefs - consider avoiding bathing in coral reef areas when wearing a product with this ingredient. It can be irritating	0.45% - 0.65%
pentylene glycol Used to preserve products, dissolve other ingredients and create a nice product texture	0.3% - 0.55%
citric acid Can work as an exfoliant but is typically used to adjust the product pH	0.25% - 0.45%
propanediol Acts as a solvent for other ingredients. Speeds up the absorption of other ingredients into the skin	0.25% - 0.45%
peg-40 hydrogenated castor oil Helps oil and water mix together	0.25% - 0.45%
bht A preservative	0.2% - 0.35%
