WIMJ FORMULA ANALYSIS

It can get the job done. Best in class ingredients detected

Ingredient	Effectiveness	Concentration	Irritancy
ascorbic acid	HIGH
glycine soja seed extract	LOW

Pos	Ingredient Name	Description
1	propylene glycol	Helps oil and water mix together and can enhance the penetration of other ingredients into the skin
2	aqua	Plain old water
3	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a serum or cream containing ascorbic acid has an orange color, it is a likely that the ingredient has oxidized and is no longer active).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
4	glycine soja seed extract	An emollient that helps soften the skin. Might be somewhat helpful in evening the skin tone.
5	polysorbate-20	Helps oil and water mix together
6	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
7	linoleic acid	An excellent emollient. Helps soften the skin, restore its barrier function, and can help to calm down inflammation. It can be helpful to prevent blemishes and clogged pores
8	linolenic acid	An emollient that helps soften the skin and calm down inflammation
9	sodium hydroxide	Used to adjust the product's pH
10	parfum	An aromatic blend of unspecified irritating ingredients
11	calcium chloride	Helps create a thicker product consistency. Might be irritating
12	potassium sorbate	A preservative
13	disodium edta	Stabilizes the product formulation
14	phenoxyetanol	A preservative. It helps prevent bacterial growth in cosmetic products
