"Fundamental Nourishing Eye Butter"

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: betaine, glycerin.

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: helianthus annuus seed oil, cetearyl alcohol.

The following ingredients in this product are especially good for supporting the skin barrier and helping with the hydration level: acetyl hexapeptide-8, copper tripeptide-1, oligopeptide-32, panthenol

Ingredient	Effectiveness	Concentration	Irritancy
acetyl hexapeptide-8	HIGH
betaine	HIGH

WIMJ summary

This product contains antioxidants (camellia sinensis leaf extract) that might be able to help neutralize free radicals in skin to lessen the damage it gets from the UV light (sun). There is not enough evidence to confirm their effectiveness in skin though.

Ingredients by volume

Ingredient	Estimated concentration
water Plain old water	40% - 60%
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% - 6.1%
stearic acid Helps oil and water mix together and works as an emollient	3.7% - 5.6%
1,2-hexanediol A preservative	2% - 3%
helianthus annuus seed oil A great emollient due to its high linoleic acid content. One of the most effective plant oils in helping skin hydration and repairing skin barrier function	2% - 3.1%
betaine Helps attract water to the upper layer of the skin and improves the product texture	1.6% - 2.3%
caffeine Might be helpful in neutralizing free radicals. Can have a dehydration effect that might somewhat decrease the look of puffy eyes	1.3% - 2%
phaseolus angularis seed extract	1.2% - 1.8%
artemisia princeps leaf extract	0.95% - 1.4%
camellia sinensis leaf extract Can contain potent anti-oxidant compounds (abbreviated ECG, GCG, EGC, and EGCG) that might help protect the skin from free radicals. Can help calm down inflammation and has some anti-bacterial properties. Unfortunately, these antioxidants are unstable and lose their effectiveness very quickly in products. The concentration of the antioxidant compounds in the extract also tends to be low to be effective in topical formulation	0.6% - 1.35%
chaenomeles sinensis fruit extract	0.45% - 1.05%
chrysanthellum indicum extract Used as a fragrance	0.35% - 0.8%
cinnamomum cassia bark extract Used as a fragrance. Can be irritating	0.35% - 0.8%
corallina officinalis extract Red algae extract that helps attract water to the upper layer of the skin and might contain antioxidants	0.2% - 0.75%
curcuma longa root extract A plant extract that can contain an active compound curcumin, that may have some anti-inflammatory properties when applied to the skin, but solid research is lacking and the typical concentration used in skincare products is too low. Can be an irritant	0.15% - 0.7%
diospyros kaki leaf extract	0.15% - 0.7%
melia azadirachta flower extract A plant extract that might be helpful to neutralize free radicals in skin	0.15% - 0.65%
melia azadirachta leaf extract A plant extract that has anti-bacterial properties. Can be used to preserve the product. Can be irritating	0.15% - 0.6%
ocimum sanctum leaf extract A plant extract that is rich in a fragrance compound eugenol that is a frequent allergen and can be irritating. It might also contain anti-oxidants to help neutralize free radicals	0.15% - 0.55%
acetyl hexapeptide-8 A type of peptide. Peptides are excellent moisturizers and might be able support collagen production reducing fine lines and wrinkles	0.1% - 0.5%
copper tripeptide-1 A naturally occurring peptide. One of the most studied peptides in dermatology. It is sometimes abbreviated GHK-Cu. Belongs to the class of carrier peptides. It stimulates both synthesis and breakdown of collagen in skin. It is released in skin wounds and inflammation to support healing. It accelerates wound-healing of the skin and can stimulate hair growth. There are preliminary studies that confirm that copper tripeptide can help support collagen production reducing fine lines and wrinkles and decrease inflammation in skin.	0.1% - 0.45%
oligopeptide-29	0.1% - 0.5%
oligopeptide-32 A type of peptide. Peptides are excellent moisturizers and might be able support collagen production reducing fine lines and wrinkles	0.1% - 0.4%
panthenol Helps attract water to the upper layer of the skin and can help improve skin barrier function	0.1% - 0.45%
pantolactone Helps attract water to the upper layer of the skin	0.1% - 0.4%
hydrogenated lecithin Helps to retain moisture by creating a protective barrier on the skin. Rich in fatty acids. Improves product texture and helps with the penetration of other ingredients.	0.1% - 0.45%
hydroxyethyl acrylate/sodium acryloyldimethyl taurate copolymer A gelling agent that thickens the product consistency and leaves the skin with a velvety finish	0.1% - 0.35%
sodium hyaluronate One of the best moisturizing ingredients. Attracts water into the upper layer of the skin	0.1% - 0.35%

propanediol Acts as a solvent for other ingredients. Speeds up the absorption of other ingredients into the skin	0.05% - 0.25%
arachidic acid	0.15% - 0.55%
oleic acid Helps soften the upper layer of the skin. At the same time, it can weaken the skin's barrier enhancing penetration of other ingredients and increasing the risk of skin dryness	0.1% - 0.35%
palmitic acid An emollient that is naturally present in skin and helps soften it	0.05% - 0.3%
