What does the product description say?

"Miracle Prep Illuminating and Hydrating Primer"

From product name

WIMJ FORMULA ANALYSIS

Works for moisturization. Has good ingredients to attract water to the skin and then "seal it in", keeping skin hydrated over time

Ingredient	Effectiveness	Concentration	Irritancy
glycerin	HIGH
niacinamide	HIGH
diethylhexyl carbonate	HIGH

Pos	Ingredient Name	Description
1	cyclopentasiloxane	A silicone that helps improve the product texture and spreadability. Can absord oil creating a short-term mattifying effect on the skin
2	aqua	Plain old water
3	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	dimethicone crosspolymer	Used to create a thicker product texture
5	sodium chloride	Used to stabilize mixtures of oil and water, and create thicker, gel-like product textures
6	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
7	niacinamide	Is proven to be effective in reducing blemishes, evening out skin tone and helping to improve lines and wrinkles. It helps the skin to repair sun damage, calm down inflammation and keep maintain good levels of moisture
8	diethylhexyl carbonate	Helps soften the upper layer of the skin
9	acetyl glucosamine	An effective moisturizing ingredient that also has been shown to be effective in evening out the skin tone and reducing hyperpigmentation. It can help somewhat reduce wrinkles in skin
10	ethylhexyl methoxycinnamate	Octinoxate. When used in higher concentrations, works as a sunscreen protecting the skin from UVB rays. When used in lower concentration, helps to preserve the product formulation. Is shown to be harmful to coral reefs - consider avoiding bathing in coral reef areas when wearing a product with this ingredient. It can be irritating
11	peg/ppg-18/18 dimethicone	A silicone that mixes with water creating nice light-weight product texture
12	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
13	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.
14	panthenol	Helps attract water to the upper layer of the skin and can help improve skin barrier function
15	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)
16	benzyl alcohol	A preservative. Can be used to mask unpleasant smell. Can be irritating
17	methylparaben	A preservative
18	allantoin	Helps calm down inflammation in skin and can help reduce itching. Helps to repair the skin barrier and keep skin hydrated
19	hydrogen dimethicone	Helps the function of sunscreen and pigment ingredients in the formulation
20	peg-10 dimethicone crosspolymer
21	propylparaben	A preservative
22	ethylparaben	A preservative
23	disodium edta	Stabilizes the product formulation
24	camellia sinensis leaf extract	Can contain potent anti-oxidant compounds and help protect the skin from free radicals. Can help calm down inflammation and has some anti-bacterial properties
25	bht	A preservative
26	caramel
