From: N/A

WIMJ FORMULA ANALYSIS

Yes. Has good ingredients to attract water to the skin. But: it can't help seal in the moisture and reduce water loss over time, so you might want to use an additional product with good emollient ingredients (like oils, butters, or silicones)

Ingredient	Effectiveness	Concentration	Irritancy
glycerin	HIGH
sodium hyaluronate	HIGH
aloe barbadensis leaf juice	LOW

Pos	Ingredient Name	Description
1	water (aqua	Plain old water
2	ascorbic acid	One of the few well researched potent anti-aging ingredients. When it is able to penetrate the skin in an active state, it is effective against fine lines and wrinkles, helps improve skin elasticity and reduce hyperpigmentation. It acts as a powerful anti-oxidant and stimulates collagen production. The main issue with ascorbic acid is that it is highly unstable, in other words, it is losing its effectivenss quickly when exposed to air and light (if a serum or cream containing ascorbic acid has an orange color, it is a likely that the ingredient has oxidized and is no longer active). In addition, it is water-soluble, meaning that it has difficulty pentrating the skin. It is also quite irritating, and can cause stinging. When used in low concentrations, helps stabilize the product formulation
3	ethoxydiglycol	Helps to improve the product consistency
4	aloe barbadensis leaf juice	Traditionally used to treat sunburns, dermatitis and inflammation, but evidence for its effectiveness is lacking. The extract can contain humectants that help attract water into the skin
5	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
6	lecithin	Used mostly for creating emulsions - helping oil and water mix together. Helps soften the upper layer of the skin
7	sodium hyaluronate	One of the best moisturizing ingredients. Attracts water into the upper layer of the skin
8	ferulic acid	A potent anti-oxidant that has been shown to be effective in neutralizing free radicals in skin. There seem to have a synergetic effect of ferulic acid, vitamin E and C, meaning that when the ingredients are used together, they enhance each other's ability protect the skin against free radicals. Ferulic acid also helps to stabilize other ingredients - including vitamins C and E. It can help to even out the skin tone. Ferulic acid is approved for use as a sunscreen ingredient in Japan in concentrations up to 10%
9	citrus aurantium dulcis (orange) callus culture extract
10	magnolia officinalis bark extract
11	vitis vinifera (grape) seed extract	A plant extract that contains resveratrol and other anti-oxidant compounds that can help neutralize free radicals, reduce inflammation in skin and even out its tone. Can be also used to stabilize the product formulation
12	xanthan gum	Used to create a thicker product consistency
13	disodium edta	Stabilizes the product formulation
14	sodium metabisulfite	A preservative
15	triethanolamine	Used to adjust pH of the product and can help improve the product's smell
16	phenoxyethanol	A preservative. It helps prevent bacterial growth in cosmetic products
17	ethylhexyglycerin	A preservative
18	maltodextrin	Used to stabilize the product formulation and can help absorb oil
19	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
