WIMJ FORMULA ANALYSIS

It can be helpful for moisturization, but will not get the job done on its own. Has good ingredients to attract water to the skin, but can't reduce water loss over time. Could use another product on top to "seal in" moisture

Ingredient	Effectiveness	Concentration	Irritancy
glucose	HIGH
sucrose	HIGH
urea	HIGH

Pos	Ingredient Name	Description
1	water/aqua/eau	Plain old water
2	aloe barbadensis leaf juice	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
3	glycolic acid	An alpha-hydroxy acid (AHA) that helps to remove the dead skin cells on the surface of the skin reveling a more even, smoother complexation. It is also able to stimulate collagen production with long-term use. Could help to reduce pore congestion. It can be irritating to the skin. Apply sunscreen daily if using products with glycolic acid
4	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
5	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
6	sodium hydroxide	Used to adjust the product's pH
7	hamamelis virginiana leaf extract	A plant extract that can help calm down inflammation in skin. Can, however, itself be irritating
8	aesculus hippocastanum seed extract	Plant extract. Might have some anti-oxidant properties. Can be irritating
9	hexylene glycol	Helps create a more spreadable product texture
10	fructose	Helps attract water to the upper layer of the skin
11	glucose	Helps attract water to the upper layer of the skin. Could be helpful in restoring the skin barrier function
12	sucrose	Can help attract water to the upper layer of the skin. In crystal form, it can work as a gentle exfoliant, gentler than the salt scrub. Helps stabilize the emulsion
13	urea	Naturally present in skin. Attracts water to the upper layer of the skin. Can enhance penetration of other ingredients. Is an exfoliating ingredient when used in high concentrations
14	dextrin	A sugar that is used to stabilize the product formulation. Can help attract water to the upper layer of the skin
15	alanine	An amino-acid that helps to attract water to the upper layer of the skin and might help to lighten the skin, but solid evidence is lacking
16	glutamic acid	An amino-acid that helps attract water to the upper layer of the skin
17	aspartic acid	An amino-acid that helps increase skin hydration and might help to slightly improve skin firmness, potentially reducing lines and wrinkles
18	hexyl nicotinate	Might be able to enhance blood flow in the skin. Can be irritating and result in skin redness
19	panax ginseng root extract	A plant extract that might have some anti-inflammatory properties, but solid evidence is lacking. It can be irritating
20	ethylhexylglycerin	A preservative
21	disodium edta	Stabilizes the product formulation
22	biotin	Might have some moisturising properties. Is not effective when applied topically beyond some moisturizing effect
23	panthenol	Helps attract water to the upper layer of the skin and can help improve skin barrier function
24	ppg-26-buteth-26	Helps oil and water mix together
25	peg-40 hydrogenated castor oil	Helps oil and water mix together
26	phenoxyethanol	A preservative. It helps prevent bacterial growth in cosmetic products
27	fragrance	An aromatic blend of unspecified irritating ingredients
28	caramel
29	red 4	A colorant
