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: allantoin, betaine.

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: ricinus communis seed oil, hydrolyzed collagen.

Ingredients by volume

Ingredient	Estimated concentration
water Plain old water	40% - 60%
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	4.6% - 6.9%
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	3.6% - 5.3%
ceratonia siliqua gum Used to stabilize product formulations and create thicker consistency	2.7% - 4%
trehalose A sugar that attracts water to the upper layer of the skin	2% - 3%
inositol	1.6% - 2.3%
betaine Helps attract water to the upper layer of the skin and improves the product texture	1.3% - 1.9%
caffeine Might be helpful in neutralizing free radicals. Can have a dehydration effect that might somewhat decrease the look of puffy eyes	1.2% - 1.7%
chondrus crispus powder A powder from red algae extract that helps attract water to the upper layer of the skin and create a nicer product consistency	1.1% - 1.7%
galactomyces ferment filtrate A yeast ferment filtrate (also known as Pitera - a trademarked name for the filtrate reserved by the SK-II brand). It helps attract water to the upper layer of the skin, can help neutralize antioxidants and can be helpful in evening out the skin tone. It might be somewhat helpful in preventing premature skin aging but solid evidence is lacking. A small manufacturer study also shows that, when used in high concentrations, it can help reduce sebum production and help against blocked pores	0.8% - 1.2%
aureobasidium pullulans ferment	0.45% - 1.05%
ricinus communis seed oil A plant oil that can help soften the skin. It might be helpful in calming down inflammation, but solid research is lacking. Is often used in lip products to create the needed product consistency	0.4% - 0.9%
hydrolyzed collagen A typically plant-derived compound that is supposed mimic human collagen. Cannot penetrate the skin barrier so is not particularly useful in skincare products beyond attracting water to the upper layer of the skin	0.35% - 0.8%
allantoin Helps calm down inflammation in skin and can help reduce itching. Helps to repair the skin barrier and keep skin hydrated	0.15% - 0.7%
unknown The ingredient is not recognized	TBC
monarda didyma leaf extract	0.15% - 0.65%
mentha piperita leaf extract Used as a fragrance and can be irritating	0.15% - 0.65%

rosmarinus officinalis leaf extract Can be helpful in reducing inflammation in skin. Is a likely irritant	0.15% - 0.55%
chamomilla recutita flower extract Plant extract that can have healing and anti-inflammatory properties. It is a potential allergen and can be irritating	0.15% - 0.5%
unknown The ingredient is not recognized	TBC
peg-60 hydrogenated castor oil Helps oil and water mix together	0.15% - 0.55%
centella asiatica extract A plant extract that has been shown to be able to reduce inflammation in skin, support restoration of skin barrier function, as well as support collagen production. Contains active compounds called centelloids: asiaticoside, madecasosside, asiatic acid and madecassic acid. Might be helpful in preventing stretch marks. It can be itself be irritating though.	0.15% - 0.5%
mica Creates an illusion of smoother and more radiant skin tone. Adds shimmer to the skin by reflecting light	0.1% - 0.5%
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	0.15% - 0.65%
snail secretion filtrate Typically contains hyaluronic acid that helps attract water to the upper layer of the skin. Might contain allantoin that is helpful in calming down inflammation. There is no evidence that it can have any further benefits for the skin, especially when used in skincare products	0.1% - 0.45%
sodium hyaluronate One of the best moisturizing ingredients. Attracts water into the upper layer of the skin	0.1% - 0.4%
