WIMJ FORMULA ANALYSIS

Yes. Has good ingredients to attract water to the skin. But: it can't help seal in the moisture and reduce water loss over time, so you might want to use an additional product with good emollient ingredients (like oils, butters, or silicones)

Ingredient	Effectiveness	Concentration	Irritancy
glycerin	HIGH
panthenol	HIGH
aloe barbadensis leaf extract	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	aloe barbadensis leaf extract	Traditionally used to treat sunburns, dermatitis and inflammation, but evidence for its effectiveness is lacking. The extract can contain humectants that help attract water into the skin
4	caffeine	Might be helpful in neutralizing free radicals. Can have a dehydration effect that might somewhat decrease the look of puffy eyes
5	sambucus nigra extract
6	leuconostoc/radish root ferment filtrate	A preservative that comes from radishes fermented by a bacteria. New research suggests that the preservation properties in the ingredient come from an ammonium salt that is not present naturally in radish root but used in its cultivation. Is problematic because the exact amount of the preservative agents is difficult to determine
7	cucumis sativus fruit extract	Might be somewhat helpful in reducing hyperpigmentation and neutralizing free radicals but its typical concentration in a product is too low for having an effect
8	arnica montana extract
9	lavandula angustifolia flower extract	Essential oil that can be irritating
10	rosa damascena flower water	Used to add a nice rose smell to the product. Can be irritating
11	panthenol	Helps attract water to the upper layer of the skin and can help improve skin barrier function
12	salicylic acid	Used for skin exfoliation. It has an anti-inflammatory and anti-bacterial effect, helps to unclog pores, prevent blemishes and speed up healing of the existing ones. Sometimes referred to as a BHA (beta-hydroxy acid)
13	sclerotium gum	Used to create gel-like formulas and stabilize emulsions
14	phenoxyethanol	A preservative. It helps prevent bacterial growth in cosmetic products
15	ethylhexylglycerin	A preservative
16	mica	Creates an illusion of smoother and more radiant skin tone. Adds shimmer to the skin by reflecting light
17	titanium dioxide	Works as a UV filter when used in high concentrations. It is photostable and is effective mostly against the UVB light, with some protection in the UVA range. In small concentrations, used for its ability to improve the color of cosmetic products. Is usually well tolerated by the skin
18	iron oxide	An umbrella term for the following three colorants: CI 77491, CI 77492, CI 77499
19	parfum	An aromatic blend of unspecified irritating ingredients
