WIMJ summary for moisturizing

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, butylene glycol.

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: butyrospermum parkii butter, dimethicone.

The following ingredients in this product are especially good for supporting the skin barrier and helping with the hydration level: madecassoside, panthenol

Ingredient	Effectiveness	Concentration	Irritancy
glycerin	HIGH
madecassoside	HIGH
panthenol	HIGH

WIMJ summary for anti-aging

This product contains madecassoside. This ingredient might be able to help reduce and prevent fine lines and wrinkles, improve skin elasticity and firmness, but there is not enough evidence that it actually works.

Ingredient	Effectiveness	Concentration	Irritancy
madecassoside	MEDIUM
butyrospermum parkii butter	LOW
copper gluconate	LOW

WIMJ summary for anti-oxidation

This product contains antioxidants (madecassoside) that can help neutralize free radicals in skin. By doing so, they can lessen the damage the skin gets from the UV light (sun).

Ingredient	Effectiveness	Concentration	Irritancy
madecassoside	HIGH
butyrospermum parkii butter	LOW
tocopherol	HIGH

Ingredients by volume

Ingredient	Estimated concentration
water Plain old water	40% - 60%
hydrogenated polyisobutene Used to improve the product consistency and soften the upper layer of the skin	5.2% - 7.8%
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	3.7% - 5.6%
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	2.7% - 4.1%
butyrospermum parkii butter A great moisturising ingredient that softens the skin and reduces water loss from its upper layer. It also can be helpful in protecting skin from free radicals	2.1% - 3.2%
panthenol Helps attract water to the upper layer of the skin and can help improve skin barrier function	1.6% - 2.5%
propanediol Acts as a solvent for other ingredients. Speeds up the absorption of other ingredients into the skin	1.5% - 2.2%
butylene glycol Used to create a nice product texture and help delivery of other ingredients. Might be somewhat helpful in attracting water to the upper layer of the skin	1.3% - 1.9%
aluminum starch octenylsuccinate Used to thicken the product's consistency	1% - 1.6%
cetyl peg/ppg-10/1 dimethicone A type of silicone that helps water and oil mix together. Can help to soften upper layer of the skin	0.8% - 1.25%
trihydroxystearin Helps soften the upper layer of the skin and improve the product texture	0.5% - 1.15%
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	0.55% - 1.35%
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	0.4% - 0.9%
madecassoside An antioxidant that is typically derived from plant Centella Asiatica. It can help neutralize free radicals in skin and support skin barrier function. It could, however, itself be irritating. It is often unstable in formulations	0.35% - 0.8%
acetylated glycol stearate	0.35% - 0.75%
magnesium sulfate Used to create a thicker product consistency	0.3% - 0.7%
polyglyceryl-4 isostearate Helps water and oil mix together	0.15% - 0.7%
silica Used to absorb oil and can temporarily mattify skin	0.3% - 0.7%
manganese gluconate Might be able to help restore skin barrier function supporting its hydration	0.1% - 0.5%
zinc gluconate Typically used to stabilize the product formulations. It is a salt of a polyhydroxy acid (PHA) and in larger concentrations, can help shed the dead cells from the skin surface revealing smoother skin. It can help attract water to the upper layer of the skin. Might to be helpful against acne and clogged pores. Could be helpful in neutralizing free radicals, but solid research is missing. Due to the zinc content, might help calm down inflammation in skin	0.1% - 0.45%
pentaerythrityl tetra-di-t-butyl hydroxyhydrocinnamate Used to increase stability of product formulations	0.1% - 0.45%
capryloyl glycine Helps oil and water mix together, preserve cosmetic products, and attract water to the upper layer of the skin	0.15% - 0.55%
copper gluconate Typically used to stabilize the product formulations. It is a salt of polyhydroxy acid (PHA) and in larger concentrations, can help shed the dead cells from the skin surface revealing smoother skin. It can help attract water to the upper layer of the skin. Might to be helpful against acne and clogged pores. Could be helpful in neutralizing free radicals, but solid research is missing	0.05% - 0.3%
disodium edta Stabilizes the product formulation	0.05% - 0.2%
citric acid Can work as an exfoliant but is typically used to adjust the product pH	0.05% - 0.1%
aluminum hydroxide Is used to add opaque (non-transparent) appearance to formulations. Can be used to coat other ingredients for even dispersion. This is a different ingredient compared to the ones used in antipersperants (aluminium chloride and aluminium chlorohydrate)	0.05% - 0.25%
