WIMJ FORMULA ANALYSIS

It can get the job done. Best in class ingredients detected

Ingredient	Effectiveness	Concentration	Irritancy
salicylic acid	HIGH

Pos	Ingredient Name	Description
1	(ingrdients):	The ingredient is not recognized
2	aqua	Plain old water
3	propanediol	Acts as a solvent for other ingredients. Speeds up the absorption of other ingredients into the skin
4	polysorbate 20	Helps oil and water mix together
5	hamamelis virginiana (with hazel) water	A plant extract that can help calm down inflammation in skin. Can, however, itself be irritating
6	alcohol denat.	Produces temporary toning effect. Can help dissolve other ingredients or preserve products
7	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
8	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
9	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)
10	cocamidopropyl betaine	Helps water and oil mix together. Used as a cleansing ingredient. Could be an allergen
11	phenoxyethanol	A preservative. It helps prevent bacterial growth in cosmetic products
12	xanthan gum	Used to create a thicker product consistency
13	sodium hydroxide	Used to adjust the product's pH
14	sodium chloride	Used to stabilize mixtures of oil and water, and create thicker, gel-like product textures
15	carica papaya (papaya) fruit extract
16	mangifera indica (mango) fruit extract	A fruit extract that might help attract water to the upper layer of the skin. There is no evidence of other benefits in skin
17	ethylhexylglycerin	A preservative
18	disodium edta	Stabilizes the product formulation
19	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
