WIMJ FORMULA ANALYSIS

Ingredients may be helpful, but are not the most effective, well studied, or used in a sufficient concentration

Ingredient	Effectiveness	Concentration	Irritancy
creatine	MEDIUM
ubiquinone	LOW
sodium ascorbyl phosphate	LOW

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	pentylene glycol	Used to preserve products, dissolve other ingredients and create a nice product texture
4	ubiquinone	Coenzyme Q10. It helps neutralize free radicals in skin, improves skin hydration and might be helpful agains fine lines and wrinkles. It can be an allergen
5	sodium ascorbyl phosphate	A stable derivative of vitamin C. It is oil-soluble which means it is more likely to penetrate the skin compared to the pure form of vitamin C (which is water-soluble), but it is less bio-available and is way less effective in stimulating collagen and reducing wrinkles compared to the pure form of vitamin C (L-ascorbic acid) and its other derivatives (for example, magnesium ascorbyl phosphate). At the same time, this vitamin C derivative has been shown in studies to be effective in reducing acne, blemishes and clogged pores. It is less irritating then the pure form of vitamin C
6	creatine	Can support skin's ability to neutralize free radicals and produce collagen, though further research is needed to confirm effectiveness
7	1-methylhydantoin-2-imide
8	xanthan gum	Used to create a thicker product consistency
9	ppg-26-buteth-26	Helps oil and water mix together
10	peg-40 hydrogenated castor oil	Helps oil and water mix together
11	tetrasodium glutamate diacetate	Helps stabilize the product formulation
12	citric acid	Can work as an exfoliant but is typically used to adjust the product pH
13	sodium hydroxide	Used to adjust the product's pH
14	benzyl alcohol	A preservative. Can be used to mask unpleasant smell. Can be irritating
15	linalool	A fragrance. Can be irritating
16	limonene	A common frangrance that can easily irritate skin, especially if exposed to air, light or heat
