WIMJ summary

This product can help soften the skin and reduce its moisture loss with emollients and occlusives: peg-10 dimethicone, isododecane.

Keep in mind that this product does not contain effective ingredients to attract water to the upper layer of the skin. This is why an additional product with humectants like glycerin or hyaluronic acid can be helpful (apply it before this product for the best results).

Ingredients by volume

Ingredient	Estimated concentration
cyclopentasiloxane A silicone that helps improve the product texture and spreadability. Can absord oil creating a short-term mattifying effect on the skin	23% - 35%
isododecane An emollient that helps soften the skin and can decrease moisture loss. Helps create a nice product texture	9.5% - 14.3%
polysilicone-11 A silicone that forms a light film on the skin surface helping to bind water and temporarily absorb oils creating a matt and powdery feel	5% - 7.5%
zinc oxide A broad spectrum sunblock (protects from both UVA and UVB rays). Is suitable for most sensitive skins. In small concentrations, can be used as a colorant	4.4% - 6.6%
polymethylsilsesquioxane A silicone that improves product texture and helps dissolve other ingredients. Can form a non-greasy film on the skin to prevent moisture loss	2.7% - 4.1%
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	2.4% - 3.6%
peg-10 dimethicone A silicone that works to soften the upper layer of the skin and reduce its water loss	1.9% - 2.9%
hexyl laurate Helps soften the upper layer of the skin and create a nice product consistency	1.4% - 2.1%
polyglyceryl-4 isostearate Helps water and oil mix together	0.45% - 1.05%
stearic acid Helps oil and water mix together and works as an emollient	0.4% - 0.9%
alumina The same compound that is used safely in dental implants and bone cements. In cosmetics, it is used to improve the consistency of products	0.45% - 1.05%
