"Face Veil Hyaluronic Acid"

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, 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, dimethicone.

Ingredients by volume

Ingredient	Estimated concentration
water Plain old water	40% - 60%
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	5.6% - 8.4%
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	4.1% - 6.2%
cetearyl alcohol A non-drying alcohol. Works as an emollient. Helps water and oil mix together and creates a nice product texture	2.4% - 3.6%
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% - 3.4%
glyceryl stearate se Used to stabilize the product formulations and works as an emollient	1.8% - 2.7%
propanediol Acts as a solvent for other ingredients. Speeds up the absorption of other ingredients into the skin	1.6% - 2.4%
hdi/trimethylol hexyllactone crosspolymer Used to create a silky product texture and add volume to products	1.3% - 2%
diheptyl succinate Helps to soften the upper layer of the skin and creates a nice product finish on the skin	1.1% - 1.7%
mica Creates an illusion of smoother and more radiant skin tone. Adds shimmer to the skin by reflecting light	1% - 1.5%
cetearyl olivate Helps oil and water mix together	0.55% - 1.25%

sodium hyaluronate One of the best moisturizing ingredients. Attracts water into the upper layer of the skin	0.15% - 0.6%
tocopheryl acetate A more stable but less bio-available form of vitamin E compared to Tocopherol. Might help moisturize and protect the skin from free radicals, but mostly used in low concentrations to stabilize other ingredients.	0.15% - 0.6%
disodium edta Stabilizes the product formulation	0.1% - 0.45%
sodium hydroxide Used to adjust the product's pH	0.1% - 0.4%

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	0.05% - 0.2%
