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
dimethicone	HIGH
glycerin	HIGH
niacinamide	HIGH

Pos	Ingredient Name	Description
1	aqua/water	Plain old water
2	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
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	niacinamide	Is proven to be effective in reducing blemishes, evening out skin tone and helping to improve lines and wrinkles. It helps the skin to repair sun damage, calm down inflammation and keep maintain good levels of moisture
5	methyl methacrylate crosspolymer	Helps thicken the product consistency
6	caffeine	Might be helpful in neutralizing free radicals. Can have a dehydration effect that might somewhat decrease the look of puffy eyes
7	ethylhexyl palmitate	An emollient that helps soften the skin and create a nice product texture
8	dimethicone/vinyl dimethicone crosspolymer	Used to stabilize product formulations and create a nice product texture
9	dimethicone/peg-10/15 crosspolymer	Helps oil and water mix together
10	peg-10 dimethicone	A silicone that works to soften the upper layer of the skin and reduce its water loss
11	hydroxyethylpiperazine ethane sulfonic acid	Used to regulate product's pH
12	sodium chloride	Used to stabilize mixtures of oil and water, and create thicker, gel-like product textures
13	perlite	A type of volcanic glass. Absorbs moisture and can temporarily mattify the skin
14	phenoxyethanol	A preservative. It helps prevent bacterial growth in cosmetic products
15	chlorphenesin	A preservative
16	sodium citrate	Helps to control the skin's pH level. Maintains the skin's natural film of amino-lactic acids and oils. Helps to preserve products
17	p-anisic acid	Helps preserve products. Can mask unpleasant smell. Could be irritating
18	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
19	disodium edta	Stabilizes the product formulation
20	steareth-20	Helps oil and water mix together
21	ascorbyl glucoside	A vitamin C derivative that is more stable but less potent than pure form of vitamin C. Has a potential to boost collagen production, nutralise free radicals and reduce hyperpigmentation, but the required concentration is likely to be much higher than for the pure form of vitamin C, limiting the ingredient's effectiveness in products
22	adenosine	Might help improve cell turnover and reduce inflammation in skin. One study shows that the ingredients might be able to stimulate collagen production in skin
23	glycine soja protein/soybean protein	A plant extract that helps to attract water to the upper layer of the skin and soften it. It might be helpful in neutralizing free radicals. It might be somewhat helpful for evening out the skin tone. It might be able to support elastin production but solid research is lacking
24	dipropylene glycol	Helps to dissolve other ingredients in a formulation. Slows down the rate of product drying
25	caprylyl glycol	Helps preserve products and creates a nice product texture
26	sodium cocoyl glutamate	Helps oil and water mix together
27	chlorhexidine digluconate	A preservative
28	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
29	potassium sorbate	A preservative
30	ethylhexylglycerin	A preservative
31	sodium benzoate	A preservative
32	palmitoyl oligopeptide	A type of peptide. Peptides are excellent moisturizers and might be able support collagen production reducing fine lines and wrinkles
33	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
34	palmitoyl tetrapeptide-7	A type of peptide. Peptides are excellent moisturizers and might be able support collagen production reducing fine lines and wrinkles
