"Olivestone Face Scrub"

From product name

WIMJ summary for exfoliation

This product does not contain effective exfoliating ingredients. It might be able to deliver physical exfoliation, that is scrub off some of the dead cells on the surface of the skin. We do not recommend physical exfoliation, because it is not uniform (some bits of skin can get exfoliated too much while others not at all). It can also traumatize the skin and aggrevate acne and other skin conditions.

What does the product description say?

"Fortified with fine Olive Stone granules, the powerful scrub buffs away dirt and dead skin cells, whilst Aloe Vera and Grapeseed Oil deliver intense hydration to reveal a smoother, softer texture."

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: arginine, 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: arginine, butyrospermum parkii butter.

Ingredient	Effectiveness	Concentration	Irritancy
arginine	HIGH
glycerin	HIGH
borago officinalis seed oil	HIGH

Potential irritants

IRRITANCY

HIGH

Ingredient	Irritancy	Skin Benefit
aloe barbadensis leaf juice
caprylic/capric triglyceride
polyglyceryl-3 methylglucose distearate

Ingredients by volume

Ingredient	Estimated concentration
water Plain old water	45% - 55%
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	6.1% - 7.5%
caprylic/capric triglyceride A good mix of fatty acids that forms a protective layer on the skin. Improves the shelf life of products. Derived from coconut and glycerin	4.5% - 5.4%
cetyl alcohol A non-drying alcohol that works to soften the skin and stabilize product formulations helping oil and water mix together	2.5% - 3.1%
ethylhexyl stearate Helps soften the upper layer of the skin	2.3% - 2.9%
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% - 2.4%
polyglyceryl-3 methylglucose distearate Helps water and oil mix together	1.6% - 1.9%
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	1.4% - 1.8%
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	1.2% - 1.5%
zea mays starch Used to thicken the product's consistency	0.75% - 1.15%
ethylhexyl salicylate Octisalate. A UV filter. It offers some protection against the sun rays that cause sunburn (UVB), but does not protect against the most aging sun rays (UVA). It loses its effectiveness quickly when exposed to sunlight. It is an organic, or so called "chemical" sunscreen	1.1% - 1.3%
octocrylene A weak sunscreen that protects against the sun rays that cause sunburn (UVB) and is somewhat effective against the UVA rays. It is quite stable and can help stabilize other, more vulnerable, sunscreen ingredients like Avobenzone. It is an organic, or so called "chemical" sunscreen	0.75% - 1.15%
cetearyl glucoside Helps water and oil in the product mix well together and improves product texture	0.5% - 0.75%
borago officinalis seed oil A plant oil that is effective in reducing irritation in skin, restore the barrier function and support its hydration	0.45% - 0.7%
arginine An amino acid that is naturally present in skin and helps keep it hydrated. When used together with AHAs, it can reduce their irritating effect on the skin	0.35% - 0.65%
caffeine Might be helpful in neutralizing free radicals. Can have a dehydration effect that might somewhat decrease the look of puffy eyes	0.4% - 0.65%
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.	0.45% - 0.65%
parfum An aromatic blend of unspecified and possibly irritating ingredients	0.3% - 0.6%
bulnesia sarmientoi wood oil	0.3% - 0.55%
rosmarinus officinalis leaf oil A plant oil with high content of volatile compounds that can irritate the skin. Can be used as a fragrance. Has anti-bacterial properties and might help neutralize free radicals on the surface of the skin	0.3% - 0.55%
lavandula hybrida oil Plant extract that can be irritating and is a known allergen	0.3% - 0.55%
cedrus atlantica bark oil	0.25% - 0.45%
abies sibirica oil	0.2% - 0.4%
eucalyptus globulus leaf oil An essential oil that can be very irritating. Has some anti-bacterial properties	0.2% - 0.4%
citrus aurantifolia oil	0.25% - 0.5%
artemisia herba-alba oil	0.25% - 0.5%
origanum majorana herb oil	0.25% - 0.45%
juniperus communis fruit oil	0.25% - 0.45%
piper nigrum fruit oil	0.25% - 0.45%
thymus vulgaris flower/leaf oil	0.2% - 0.4%
abies balsamea extract	0.3% - 0.55%
sodium polyacrylate Used to create a gel-like product texture, as well as to stabilize emulsions	0.3% - 0.55%
cetyl esters Helps soften upper layer of the skin and can enhance penetration of other ingredients into the upper layer of the skin	0.3% - 0.55%
phenoxyethanol A preservative. It helps prevent bacterial growth in cosmetic products	0.25% - 0.5%
benzoic acid A preservative	0.25% - 0.5%
dehydroacetic acid A preservative	0.2% - 0.4%
citric acid Can work as an exfoliant but is typically used to adjust the product pH	0.2% - 0.4%
potassium sorbate A preservative	0.2% - 0.35%
benzyl salicylate A fragrance. Is a likely irritant	0.15% - 0.25%
coumarin A fragrance. Is a likely skin allergen and can be irritating	0.15% - 0.25%
hexyl cinnamal A fragrance with jasmine smell. A likely irritant	0.15% - 0.3%
limonene A common frangrance that can easily irritate skin, especially if exposed to air, light or heat	0.15% - 0.25%
linalool A fragrance. Can be irritating	0.1% - 0.15%
alpha-isomethyl ionone A fragrance. Potential allergen and can be irritating	0.1% - 0.15%
