WIMJ FORMULA ANALYSIS

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

Ingredient	Effectiveness	Concentration	Irritancy
hydrolyzed collagen	HIGH
cocos nucifera fruit extract	HIGH
beta-glucan	HIGH

Pos	Ingredient Name	Description
1	aqua	Plain old water
2	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
3	methylpropanediol	Helps dissolve other ingredients in a formulation
4	cocos nucifera fruit extract	An emollient. Found to be as effective as a moisturizer for dry skin as mineral oil. Could be comedogenic
5	hydrolyzed collagen	A typically plant-derived compound that is supposed mimic human collagen. Cannot penetrate the skin barrier so is not particularly useful in skincare products beyond attracting water to the upper layer of the skin
6	portulaca oleracea extract	A plant extract that has some anti-oxidant activity, but solid research is lacking. Can help attract water to the upper layer of the skin
7	aloe barbadensis leaf extract	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
8	althaea rosea root extract	A plant extract that has some anti-inflammatory properties, can help attract water to the upper layer of the skin and is also used to thicken the product formulations
9	beta-glucan	Helps attract water to the upper layer of the skin, calm down inflammation and irritation, restore the barrier function and support wound healing. It can be helpful in reducing fine lines and wrinkles
10	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.
11	polysorbate 80	Helps water and oil mix together
12	disodium edta	Stabilizes the product formulation
13	xanthan gum	Used to create a thicker product consistency
14	chlorphenesin	A preservative
15	1,2-hexanediol	A preservative
16	propanediol	Acts as a solvent for other ingredients. Speeds up the absorption of other ingredients into the skin
17	caprylyl glycol	Helps preserve products and creates a nice product texture
18	illicium verum fruit extract
19	phenoxyethanol	A preservative. It helps prevent bacterial growth in cosmetic products
20	fragrance	An aromatic blend of unspecified irritating ingredients
