WIMJ FORMULA ANALYSIS

It can be helpful for moisturization, but will not get the job done on its own. Can soften skin and might help reduce water loss over time, but is missing ingredients that attract water to the skin (like glycerin or hyaluronic acid)

Ingredient	Effectiveness	Concentration	Irritancy
olea europaea fruit oil	HIGH
helianthus annuus seed oil	HIGH
cocos nucifera oil	HIGH

Pos	Ingredient Name	Description
1	olea europaea (olive) fruit oil	An emollient that helps soften the skin but is not effective for restoring its barrier function. Might be helpful to calm down inflammation
2	helianthus annuus (sunflower) 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
3	cocos nucifera (coconut) oil	An emollient. Found to be as effective as a moisturizer for dry skin as mineral oil. Could be comedogenic
4	candelilla cera (euphorbia cerifera (candelilla) wax, cire de candelilla
5	) , cerifera cera (copernicia cerifera (carnauba) wax,	The ingredient is not recognized
6	cire de carnauba	Helps to soften the upper layer of the skin and create a nice product consistency
7	zingiber officinale (ginger) root oil	An essential oil that is likely to be irritating and can cause photosensitivity
8	isocetyl stearoyl stearate	Helps soften the upper layer of the skin
9	carthamus tinctorius (safflower) seed oil	An emollient that helps soften the skin and might help calm down inflammation
10	centella asiatica leaf extract	A plant extract that has been shown to be able to reduce inflammation in skin, support restoration of skin barrier function, as well as support collagen production. It can be irritating to sensitive skin. Might be helpful in preventing stretch marks. It could, however, itself be irritating.
11	melia azadirachta leaf extract	A plant extract that has anti-bacterial properties. Can be used to preserve the product. Can be irritating
12	garcinia indica seed butter	Helps soften the upper layer of the skin. It mostly contains oleic acid which is not the most effective emollient to prevent water loss, but might have an anti-inflammatory effect
13	hippophae rhamnoides fruit oil	A plant oil that might somewhat help to neutralize free radicals. It could be irritating
14	citrus limon (lemon) peel oil	A highly irritating fragrance
15	moringa oleifera seed oil	A plant oil that helps soften the upper layer of the skin. Is unlikely to be helpful in restoring skin barrier function due to the low content of linoleic acid
16	calendula officinalis flower extract	A plant extract that has some anti-oxidant and anti-bacterial properties. Can be irritating
17	hypericum perforatum flower/leaf extract
18	raspberry seed oil/tocopheryl succinate aminopropanediol esters
19	silica	Used to absorb oil and can temporarily mattify skin
20	lauroyl lysine	Helps soften the upper layer of the skin and creates a nice product texture
21	limonene	A common frangrance that can easily irritate skin, especially if exposed to air, light or heat
22	linalool	A fragrance. Can be irritating
