What does the product description say?

"Instant Results Nourishing Hydration Mask"

From product name

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
ceramide 1	HIGH
c12-15 alkyl benzoate	HIGH
petrolatum	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	c12-15 alkyl benzoate	Enhances the product texture and makes it more spreadable. Helps reduce water loss from the outer layer of skin. Extands the shelf life by preventing bacteria growth
4	petrolatum	One of the most effective and the most studied occlusive ingredients that creates a protective layer on top of the skin preventing moisture loss
5	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
6	isononyl isononanoate	Forms a protective film on the surface of the skin to prevent moisture loss. Gives a velvety feel to products while reducing tackiness
7	cetyl peg/ppg-10/1 dimethicone	A type of silicone that helps water and oil mix together. Can help to soften upper layer of the skin
8	phenoxyethanol	A preservative. It helps prevent bacterial growth in cosmetic products
9	carbomer	Helps create a gel-like product texture. Can be used in gentle cleansing formulations
10	polyglyceryl-4 isostearate	Helps water and oil mix together
11	hexyl laurate	Helps soften the upper layer of the skin and create a nice product consistency
12	magnesium sulfate	Used to create a thicker product consistency
13	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.
14	theobroma cacao (cocoa) seed butter	Helps soften the upper layer of the skin and can be helpful in restoring the skin barrier function. Might have some anti-oxidant effect
15	methylparaben	A preservative
16	parfum (fragrance	An aromatic blend of unspecified irritating ingredients
17	potassium hydroxide	Used to adjust the pH level of products
18	ethylparaben	A preservative
19	sodium pca	Naturally present in skin and helps to attract water to its upper layer
20	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
21	tetrasodium edta	Helps to stabilize the product formulation
22	sodium lauroyl lactylate	Helps water and oil mix together
23	magnesium pca
24	dipropylene glycol	Helps to dissolve other ingredients in a formulation. Slows down the rate of product drying
25	zinc pca	A compound that combines zinc with a hydrating ingredient PCA. Might to be helpful against acne and clogged pores. Can help calm down inflammation in skin. Could be helpful in reducing the formation of free radicals in skin. Might help to reduce fine lines in wrinkles, but solid evidence is missing
26	biosaccharide gum-1	Helps attract water to the upper layer of the skin and is claimed to provide a longer-lasting hydration because of its ability to create a water-binding film on the surface of the skin
27	ceramide 3	A type of lipid similar to ceramides naturally present in skin. Helps to soften the upper layer of the skin and supports the skin barrier function to keep it hydrated. Can help to prevent inflammation in skin
28	manganese pca
29	phytosphingosine	A type of lipid that is naturally present in skin. It might help in repairing skin barrier function and has anti-bacterial effect
30	ceramide 6 ii	A type of lipid similar to ceramides naturally present in skin. Helps to soften the upper layer of the skin and supports the skin barrier function to keep it hydrated. Can help to prevent inflammation in skin
31	cholesterol	An emollient that is naturally found in skin
32	xanthan gum	Used to create a thicker product consistency
33	potassium sorbate	A preservative
34	ethylhexylglycerin	A preservative
35	ceramide 1	A type of lipid similar to ceramides naturally present in skin. Helps to soften the upper layer of the skin and supports the skin barrier function to keep it hydrated. Can help to prevent inflammation in skin
36	ci 19140 (yellow 5	A yellow dye
37	ci 14700 (red 4	A colorant
