What does the product description say?

"The lightweight formula drifts across the skin, absorbing fast to lock in moisture and to avoid any greasy, sticky residue being left over."

WIMJ summary

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, lactobacillus ferment.

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: salvia hispanica seed extract, pentylene glycol.

Ingredient	Effectiveness	Concentration	Irritancy
lactobacillus ferment	HIGH
salvia hispanica seed extract	HIGH
sodium hyaluronate	HIGH

WIMJ summary

This product contains antioxidants (ascorbyl glucoside) that might be able to help neutralize free radicals in skin to lessen the damage it gets from the UV light (sun). There is not enough evidence to confirm their effectiveness in skin though.

citrus aurantium dulcis fruit water	22% - 33%
water Plain old water	13% - 19%
ascorbyl glucoside A vitamin C derivative that is more stable but less potent than pure form of vitamin C. Has a potential to boost collagen production, nutralise free radicals and reduce hyperpigmentation, but the required concentration is likely to be much higher than for the pure form of vitamin C, limiting the ingredient's effectiveness in products	5.1% - 7.7%
salvia hispanica seed extract A plant extract that typically contains linolenic and linoleic acids that help soften the upper layer of the skin and can support skin barrier function	3.6% - 5.4%
pentylene glycol Used to preserve products, dissolve other ingredients and create a nice product texture	2.6% - 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	1.8% - 2.7%
sodium hydroxide Used to adjust the product's pH	1.4% - 2.2%
parfum An aromatic blend of unspecified and possibly irritating ingredients	1.1% - 1.7%
sodium benzoate A preservative	0.25% - 0.5%
sodium hyaluronate One of the best moisturizing ingredients. Attracts water into the upper layer of the skin	1% - 1.6%
levulinic acid Helps stabilize a product formulation	0.8% - 1.2%
chondrus crispus Red algae extract that helps attract water to the upper layer of the skin and create a nicer product consistency	0.55% - 1.25%
carrageenan Helps thicken the product formula and create a nice product formulation	0.45% - 1.1%
sodium gluconate Helps stabilize product formulations	0.35% - 0.85%

sodium levulinate A preservative	0.1% - 0.45%
lactobacillus ferment A fermentation product created by bacteria Lactobacillus. The fermented product has anti-bacterial properties and might be helpful in calming down inflammation, but studies are lacking. Helps attract water to the upper layer of the skin. Can be used as a preservative	0.1% - 0.3%
