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: hydrolyzed hyaluronic acid, caprylyl 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: cera microcristallina, cocos nucifera oil.

cera microcristallina 1.8% - 2.7%

Irritation risk:

Concentration: Effectiveness: HIGH

Helps to soften the upper layer of the skin, reduce water loss from its surface and create a thicker product consistency

hydrolyzed hyaluronic acid 0.05% - 0.2%

Irritation risk:

Concentration: Effectiveness: HIGH

One of the best moisturizing ingredients. Attracts water into the upper layer of the skin. A version of it is naturally present in skin

polymethylsilsesquioxane 0.1% - 0.35%

Irritation risk:

Concentration: Effectiveness: HIGH

A silicone that improves product texture and helps dissolve other ingredients. Can form a non-greasy film on the skin to prevent moisture loss

Anti-aging

Effective ingredients missing or their concentration is too low.

tetrahexyldecyl ascorbate 0.05% - 0.25%

Irritation risk:

Concentration: Insufficient!

Being a lipid soluble form of vitamin C, it is more stable than ascorbic acid, but still degrades quickly and needs to be stabilized in a formulation with another ingredient. It is claimed to penetrate skin better than pure vitamin C and have the the similar benefits, but solid studies of its effectiveness are lacking. Is likely to require a higher concentration in a product than pure vitamin C to be effective. It might be able to help reduce pore clogging.

niacin 0.05% - 0.25%

Irritation risk:

Concentration: Insufficient!

A form of vitamin B3. It is similar in action to niacinamide, but is more likely to cause red flashes in skin as the side effect

butyrospermum parkii butter 0.1% - 0.5%

Irritation risk: Comedogenicity: High

Concentration: Insufficient!

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
