WIMJ summary

This product contains good ingredients to attract water to the upper layer of the skin. These ingredients are called "humectants": glycerin, caprylyl glycol.

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. If the air is dry, humectants can speed up the moisture loss from the skin. This is why it is a good idea to use another product on top of this one to help "seal in" the moisture (look for ingredients like dimethicone, squalane, oils and butters).

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

Ingredients by volume

Ingredient	Estimated concentration
water Plain old water	45% - 55%
kaolin A type of clay that consists mainly of aluminum silicate. Helps absorb oil and creates a thicker product consistency. Can be used to add a white color	7.7% - 9.4%
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	4.7% - 5.7%
microcrystalline cellulose	3.2% - 3.9%
bentonite Helps stabilize the product formulation	2.4% - 2.9%
propylene glycol isoceteth-3 acetate	1.9% - 2.4%
tocopheryl acetate A more stable but less bio-available form of vitamin E compared to Tocopherol. Might help moisturize and protect the skin from free radicals, but mostly used in low concentrations to stabilize other ingredients.	1.7% - 2%
panthenol Helps attract water to the upper layer of the skin and can help improve skin barrier function	1.6% - 1.9%
propylene glycol Helps oil and water mix together and can enhance the penetration of other ingredients into the skin	1.4% - 1.7%
peg-12 dimethicone Helps soften the upper layer of the skin and create a nice product texture	1.2% - 1.4%
mica Creates an illusion of smoother and more radiant skin tone. Adds shimmer to the skin by reflecting light	1.1% - 1.4%
cellulose gum Used to create thicker product consistency and stabilize emulsions	0.8% - 1.15%
rosa damascena flower water Used to add a nice rose smell to the product. Can be irritating	0.65% - 1%
xanthan gum Used to create a thicker product consistency	0.65% - 0.95%
bisabolol An active component of chamomile plant that historically has been used to calm down irritated skin. A recent study shows that bisabolol indeed can have some anti-inflammatory effect on skin, even though conclusive data is lacking. Bisabolol has a sweet floral scent and can be added to products for its aromatic properties	0.55% - 0.8%
menthoxypropanediol Used as a fragrance. Can be irritating	0.55% - 0.85%
tetrasodium edta Helps to stabilize the product formulation	0.5% - 0.8%
acetic acid	0.5% - 0.75%

In small concentrations, used for its ability to improve the color of cosmetic products. Is usually well tolerated by the skin	0.45% - 0.65%
ci 75470 Carmine. A colorant. Can be an allergen	0.3% - 0.55%
