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 the ingredients to "seal in" the moisture and reduce water loss over time can be more effective.

Pos Ingredient Name Description
1 water (aqua Plain old water
2 stearic acid Helps oil and water mix together and works as an emollient
3 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 sorbitol Helps attract water to the upper layer of the skin and improves the product texture
5 potassium hydroxide Used to adjust the pH level of products
6 aloe barbadensis (aloe vera) 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
7 cetyl alcohol A non-drying alcohol that works to soften the skin and stabilize product formulations helping oil and water mix together
8 equisetum arvense extract
9 hamamelis virginiana (witch hazel) leaf extract A plant extract that can help calm down inflammation in skin. Can, however, itself be irritating
10 hydrolyzed quinoa Might help to attract water to the upper layer of the skin
11 rosmarinus officinalis leaf extract Can be helpful in reducing inflammation in skin. Is a likely irritant
12 tocopheryl acetate A more stable but less bio-available form of vitamin E compared to Tocopherol. Might help moisturize and protect the skin from free radicals, but mostly used in low concentrations to stabilize other ingredients.
13 urtica dioica (nettle) extract
14 stearyl alcohol An emollient that helps soften the skin
15 fragrance (parfum An aromatic blend of unspecified irritating ingredients
16 hexyl cinnamal A fragrance with jasmine smell. A likely irritant
