WIMJ FORMULA ANALYSIS

Works for moisturization. Has good ingredients to attract water to the skin and then "seal it in", keeping skin hydrated over time

Ingredient	Effectiveness	Concentration	Irritancy
glycerin	HIGH
methylsilanol hydroxyproline aspartate	HIGH
dimethicone	HIGH

Pos	Ingredient Name	Description
1	lavandula angustifolia (lavender) flower water
2	methyl trimethicone	A type of silicone that helps create a silky product finish and dissolve other ingredients
3	adipic acid/ neopentyl glycol crosspolymer	Helps optically blurr skin imperfections such as fine lines and pores
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	propylene glycol	Helps oil and water mix together and can enhance the penetration of other ingredients into the skin
6	methylsilanol hydroxyproline aspartate	An amino-acid. There is not strong evidence of a particular beneficial effect for skin in topical applications, beyond attracting water to the upper layer of the skin
7	dimethicone/vinyl dimethicone crosspolymer	Used to stabilize product formulations and create a nice product texture
8	dimethicone	A silicone that helps to reduce water loss from the surface of the skin. Can temporarily "fill in" lines and wrinkles, absorb oil, and create a nice product finish
9	butylene glycol	Used to create a nice product texture and help delivery of other ingredients. Might be somewhat helpful in attracting water to the upper layer of the skin
10	sodium polyacrylate	Used to create a gel-like product texture, as well as to stabilize emulsions
11	arnica montana flower extract	A plant extract that can be irritating. It can have some anti-bacterial properties, but there are no evidence of a beneficial effect for skin
12	laminaria digitata extract	Seaweed extract that helps the skin to attract water and make it more smooth for touch. Also shows promise of anti-aging properties, but good research is lacking at the moment
13	phenoxyethanol	A preservative. It helps prevent bacterial growth in cosmetic products
14	phospholipids	Emollients that are naturaly present in skin. In addition, they help water and oil mix together in the product
15	alcohol	Can be drying and contribute to skin irritation. Used in formulars to dissolve other ingredients, create a thinner product consistency or for its antibacterial properties
16	olea europea (olive oil) fruit oil	An emollient that helps soften the skin but is not effective for restoring its barrier function. Might be helpful to calm down inflammation
17	cyclopentasiloxane	A silicone that helps improve the product texture and spreadability. Can absord oil creating a short-term mattifying effect on the skin
18	vp/va copolymer	Used to stabilize product formulation and create a nice product consistency
19	saccharomyces lysate extract	Helps attract water to the upper layer of the skin. Can have some anti-inflammatory effect
20	trideceth-6	Helps oil and water mix together
21	sodium hyaluronate	One of the best moisturizing ingredients. Attracts water into the upper layer of the skin
22	hydroxypropyl methycellulose
23	amodimethicone	Helps create a silky product texture
24	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
25	disodium edta	Stabilizes the product formulation
26	ethylhexylglycerin	A preservative
27	steareth-20	Helps oil and water mix together
28	caprylyl glycol	Helps preserve products and creates a nice product texture
29	madecassoside	An antioxidant that is typically derived from plant Centella Asiatica. It can help neutralize free radicals in skin and support skin barrier function. It could, however, itself be irritating
30	simmondsia chinensis (jojoba) seed oil	Softens the upper layer of skin and helps restore the healthy skin barrier. Has shown to help calm down inflammation in skin. It is a stable oil, meaning that it retains its properties even when exposed to air.
31	peg/ppg-18/18 dimethicone	A silicone that mixes with water creating nice light-weight product texture
32	chlorhexidine digluconate	A preservative
33	chlorphenesin	A preservative
34	potassium sorbate	A preservative
35	salicylic acid	Used for skin exfoliation. It has an anti-inflammatory and anti-bacterial effect, helps to unclog pores, prevent blemishes and speed up healing of the existing ones. Sometimes referred to as a BHA (beta-hydroxy acid)
36	benzyl alcohol	A preservative. Can be used to mask unpleasant smell. Can be irritating
37	oryza sativa (rice) extract	A grain extract that helps to create a thicker product consistency. It might have some anti-oxidant properties and help attract water to the upper layer of the skin
38	n-hydroxysuccinimide	Is claimed to be able to brighten skin tone by removing some blood-related pigmented compounds in skin (hemoglobin and related elements) but solid research is missing. Can be irritating
39	palmitoyl oligopeptide	A type of peptide. Peptides are excellent moisturizers and might be able support collagen production reducing fine lines and wrinkles
40	chrysin	Might be helpful in reducing fine lines and wrinkles, as well as lightening the skin, but solid evidence is missing. Could somewhat help in reducing the darkness of the under-eye area. Helps to neutralise free radicals in skin
41	palmitoyl tetrapeptide	A type of peptide. Peptides are excellent moisturizers and might be able support collagen production reducing fine lines and wrinkles
42	hexapeptide-3
43	hexapeptide-9	A type of peptide. Peptides are excellent moisturizers and might be able support collagen production reducing fine lines and wrinkles
