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, sodium lactate.

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: palmitoyl tetrapeptide-7.

The following ingredients in this product are especially good for supporting the skin barrier and helping with the hydration level: palmitoyl tetrapeptide-7, panthenol

Ingredient	Effectiveness	Concentration	Irritancy
panthenol	HIGH
palmitoyl tetrapeptide-7	HIGH
glycerin	HIGH

Potential irritants

IRRITANCY

HIGH

Ingredient	Irritancy	Skin Benefit
peg-40 hydrogenated castor oil
benzyl alcohol
retinyl palmitate

Ingredients by volume

Ingredient	Estimated concentration
water Plain old water	40% - 60%
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	4.4% - 6.7%
peg-40 hydrogenated castor oil Helps oil and water mix together	3.2% - 4.7%
butylene glycol Used to create a nice product texture and help delivery of other ingredients. Might be somewhat helpful in attracting water to the upper layer of the skin	2.6% - 3.9%
phenoxyethanol A preservative. It helps prevent bacterial growth in cosmetic products	0.5% - 1%
bisabolol An active component of chamomile plant that historically has been used to calm down irritated skin. A recent study shows that bisabolol indeed can have some anti-inflammatory effect on skin, even though conclusive data is lacking. Bisabolol has a sweet floral scent and can be added to products for its aromatic properties	1.5% - 2.3%
benzyl alcohol A preservative. Can be used to mask unpleasant smell. Can be irritating	0.5% - 1%
retinyl palmitate Three steps removed from the active form of vitamin A - retinoic acid. To have an effect in the skin, it first needs to be converted twice to become the retinoic acid. This means it is less potent than retinol, but could also be less irritating. Once converted to the retinoic acid in the skin, it helps against all signs of aging, improves skin cell turnover and helps fight blemishes and clogged pores. However, in many cosmetic formulations, it is used in a concentration that is too low to have the full effect	1.2% - 1.7%
parfum An aromatic blend of unspecified and possibly irritating ingredients	0.95% - 1.4%
disodium edta Stabilizes the product formulation	0.5% - 1%
panthenol Helps attract water to the upper layer of the skin and can help improve skin barrier function	0.45% - 1.1%
ethylhexylglycerin A preservative	0.4% - 0.9%
1-methylhydantoin-2-imide	0.35% - 0.8%
sodium hydroxide Used to adjust the product's pH	0.3% - 0.75%
dehydroacetic acid A preservative	0.15% - 0.55%
carbomer Helps create a thicker or gel-like product texture. It is not a surfactant but can be used in gentle cleansing formulations	0.15% - 0.55%
sodium lactate Helps attract water to the upper layer of the skin. Is often used to adjust the pH level of the product	0.1% - 0.45%
benzyl salicylate A fragrance. Is a likely irritant	0.1% - 0.35%
polysorbate 20 Helps oil and water mix together	0.1% - 0.35%
hexyl cinnamal A fragrance with jasmine smell. A likely irritant	0.05% - 0.2%
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	0.05% - 0.25%
linalool A fragrance. Can be irritating	0.05% - 0.1%
palmitoyl tripeptide-1 A type of peptide. Peptides are excellent moisturizers and might be able support collagen production reducing fine lines and wrinkles	0.05% - 0.2%
palmitoyl tetrapeptide-7 A type of peptide. Peptides are excellent moisturizers and might be able support collagen production reducing fine lines and wrinkles	0.05% - 0.15%
