Humectants (glycerin 0.35% - 0.80%). These ingredients help attract water to the upper layer of the skin and improve the skin hydration.

What can the product work for?

Works for

Moisturizing

Moisturizing

This product contains good ingredients to attract water to the upper layer of the skin. These ingredients are called "humectants": glycerin, butylene glycol.

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. If the air is dry, humectants can speed up the moisture loss from the skin. This is why it is a good idea to use another product on top of this one to help "seal in" the moisture (look for ingredients like dimethicone, squalane, oils and butters).

glycerin 0.35% - 0.8%

Irritation risk:

Concentration: Effectiveness: HIGH

One of the best moisturizing ingredients. Naturally present in skin. It attracts water to the upper layer of the skin working as a humectant

butylene glycol 2.1% - 3.1%

Irritation risk:

Concentration: Effectiveness: LOW

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

caprylyl glycol 0.15% - 0.6%

Irritation risk:

Concentration: Effectiveness: LOW

Helps preserve products and creates a nice product texture

Anti-blemish

Effective ingredients missing or their concentration is too low.

kaolin 3.7% - 5.6%

Irritation risk:

Concentration: Effectiveness: LOW

A type of clay that consists mainly of aluminum silicate. Helps absorb oil and creates a thicker product consistency. Can be used to add a white color

bentonite 2.8% - 4.1%

Irritation risk:

Concentration: Effectiveness: LOW

Helps stabilize the product formulation

Exfoliation

This product does not contain effective exfoliating ingredients. It might be able to deliver physical exfoliation, that is scrub off some of the dead cells on the surface of the skin. We do not recommend physical exfoliation, because it is not uniform (some bits of skin can get exfoliated too much while others not at all). It can also traumatize the skin and aggrevate acne and other skin conditions.
