WIMJ FORMULA ANALYSIS

It can be helpful for moisturization, but will not get the job done on its own. Has good ingredients to attract water to the skin, but can't reduce water loss over time. Could use another product on top to "seal in" moisture

Ingredient	Effectiveness	Concentration	Irritancy
sodium hyaluronate	HIGH
dipotassium glycyrrhizate	HIGH
galactoarabinan	HIGH

Pos	Ingredient Name	Description
1	water (aqua	Plain old water
2	glycolic acid	An alpha-hydroxy acid (AHA) that helps to remove the dead skin cells on the surface of the skin reveling a more even, smoother complexation. It is also able to stimulate collagen production with long-term use. Could help to reduce pore congestion. It can be irritating to the skin. Apply sunscreen daily if using products with glycolic acid
3	alcohol denat.	Produces temporary toning effect. Can help dissolve other ingredients or preserve products
4	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
5	pentylene glycol	Used to preserve products, dissolve other ingredients and create a nice product texture
6	sodium hydroxide	Used to adjust the product's pH
7	propanediol	Acts as a solvent for other ingredients. Speeds up the absorption of other ingredients into the skin
8	spondias mombin pulp extract
9	mangifera indica (mango) pulp extract
10	musa sapientum (banana) pulp extract
11	olea europaea (olive) leaf extract	A plant extract that might have some anti-oxidant and anti-inflammatory properties but evidence for effectiveness in skin is missing
12	terminalia ferdinandiana fruit extract	A plant extract that might have some anti-oxidant effect in skin, but evidence is lacking
13	zizyphus jujuba seed extract
14	lavendula angustifolia (lavender) oil	An essential oil. Potential allergen and can be irritating. It has some anti-bacterial properties
15	sodium hyaluronate	One of the best moisturizing ingredients. Attracts water into the upper layer of the skin
16	ascorbic acid	One of the few well researched potent anti-aging ingredients. When it is able to penetrate the skin in an active state, it is effective against fine lines and wrinkles, helps improve skin elasticity and reduce hyperpigmentation. It acts as a powerful anti-oxidant and stimulates collagen production. The main issue with ascorbic acid is that it is highly unstable, in other words, it is losing its effectivenss quickly when exposed to air and light (if a serum or cream containing ascorbic acid has an orange color, it is a likely that the ingredient has oxidized and is no longer active). In addition, it is water-soluble, meaning that it has difficulty pentrating the skin. It is also quite irritating, and can cause stinging. When used in low concentrations, helps stabilize the product formulation
17	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
18	galactoarabinan	Helps attract water to the upper layer of the skin
19	piperonyl glucose
20	citric acid	Can work as an exfoliant but is typically used to adjust the product pH
21	decyl glucoside	Helps oil and water mix together. Can be irritating
22	levan
23	xylitol	Helps attract water to the upper layer of the skin and repair the skin barrier function
24	caprylic acid
25	caprylyl glycol	Helps preserve products and creates a nice product texture
26	phenethyl alcohol	A fragrance. Can be irritating
27	benzyl alcohol	A preservative. Can be used to mask unpleasant smell. Can be irritating
28	potassium sorbate	A preservative
