"Hand Care Defend & Protect Hand Lotion"

From product name

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: 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: beeswax, helianthus annuus seed oil.

Ingredient	Effectiveness	Concentration	Irritancy
beeswax	HIGH
glycerin	HIGH
helianthus annuus seed oil	HIGH

aloe barbadensis leaf juice powder

Ingredients by volume

Ingredient	Estimated concentration
water Plain old water	40% - 60%
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	5.3% - 8%
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	3.5% - 5.3%
polyglyceryl-3 rice branate	2.5% - 3.7%
cetearyl alcohol A non-drying alcohol. Works as an emollient. Helps water and oil mix together and creates a nice product texture	2.1% - 3.1%
melaleuca viridiflora leaf oil	1.7% - 2.5%
beeswax Forms a protective barrier that holds water and keeps dry skin hydrated. Keeps an emulsion from separating into its oil and liquid components, and increases the thickness of a product. Can be an allergen	1.5% - 2.2%
levulinic acid Helps stabilize a product formulation	1.2% - 1.8%
aloe barbadensis leaf juice powder 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	1% - 1.5%

tocopherol Pure form of vitamin E. Can help moisturise and protect the skin from free radicals. Often used to help stabilise other ingredients or the formula itself	0.5% - 1.15%

xanthan gum Used to create a thicker product consistency	0.35% - 0.85%
