WIMJ FORMULA ANALYSIS

Yes. 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
gluconolactone	HIGH
sodium hyaluronate	HIGH

Pos	Ingredient Name	Description
1	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
2	rosa damascena flower water	Used to add a nice rose smell to the product. Can be irritating
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
4	vaccinium myrtillus fruit/leaf extract
5	terminalia ferdinandiana fruit extract	A plant extract that might have some anti-oxidant effect in skin, but evidence is lacking
6	salix nigra (willow) bark extract
7	leuconostoc/radish root ferment filtrate	A preservative that comes from radishes fermented by a bacteria. New research suggests that the preservation properties in the ingredient come from an ammonium salt that is not present naturally in radish root but used in its cultivation. Is problematic because the exact amount of the preservative agents is difficult to determine
8	, saccharum ocinarum (sugarcane) extract,	The ingredient is not recognized
9	acer saccharum (sugar maple) extract	Helps attract water to the upper layer of the skin
10	citrus aurantium dulcis (orange) fruit extract	A plant extract that is used as a fragrance. Can be irritating and lead to photosensitivity
11	citrus limon (lemon) fruit extract	Used as a fragrance. Can be irritating and cause photosensitivity
12	populus tremuloides bark extract
13	gluconolactone	A polyhydroxy acid (PHA) that helps shed the dead cells from the skin surface revealing smoother skin. Is believed to be genter than AHAs. It helps attract water to the upper layer of the skin and can stimulate production of skin's own hyaluronic acid resulting inimporved hydration levels. It has been shown to be helpful against acne and clogged pores. Might help reduce fine lines and wrinkles and improve skin tone with long-term application. Can help neutralize free radicals
14	sodium hyaluronate	One of the best moisturizing ingredients. Attracts water into the upper layer of the skin
15	sodium phytate	Used to stabilize product formulations
