WIMJ summary

This product can help reduce and prevent fine lines and wrinkles, improve skin elasticity and firmness because it contains bakuchiol.

Keep in mind that it typically takes at least 6 weeks to notice any results because the changes that are needed to improve fine lines and elasticity happen in the deeper layers of the skin. No topical anti-aging product can “erase” wrinkles or fully reverse signs of aging.

WIMJ summary

This product can help reduce hypepigmentation and even out the skin tone because it contains the following effective ingredients: bakuchiol

Keep in mind that you would need to apply any topical skincare targetted at hypigmentation consistently for a couple of months to get a result. No topical skincare product can help get rid of hyperpigmentation (including post-acne marks and age spots) instantly.

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, glycerin.

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: chondrus crispus extract, glyceryl caprylate.

Ingredient	Effectiveness	Concentration	Irritancy
allantoin	HIGH
chondrus crispus extract	HIGH
glycerin	HIGH

WIMJ summary

This product contains antioxidants (bakuchiol) that can help neutralize free radicals in skin. By doing so, they can lessen the damage the skin gets from the UV light (sun).

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	4.2% - 6.3%
methylpropanediol Helps dissolve other ingredients in a formulation	3.7% - 5.5%
chondrus crispus extract Red algae extract that helps attract water to the upper layer of the skin and create a nicer product consistency	2.7% - 4.1%
potassium chloride	2% - 3.1%
ceratonia siliqua gum Used to stabilize product formulations and create thicker consistency	1.8% - 2.6%
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	1.3% - 1.9%
bakuchiol A plant extract that is, though different in chemical structure, acts similar to retinoids. First studies show that it can help reduce fine lines and wrinkles, improve skin tone, reduce clogged pores and blemishes, and reduce inflammation. There is no conclusive evidence that bakuchiol is as effective as retinol however. The study that directly compared retinol with bakuchiol used bakuchiol applied twice daily compared to once per day for the retinol. According to this study, bakuchiol is less irritating than retinol. Bakuchiol is extracted from seeds of Babchi plant. Other parts of the plant contain coumarins that could cause allergic and irritant reactions. These compounds should be removed in the extraction process when bakuchiol is produced, but it is a good idea to be cautious and stay away from products that include the Babchi plant extracts other than purified bakuchiol to avoid irritation	1.2% - 1.9%
vaccinium macrocarpon fruit extract A berry extract. Might have some anti-oxidant properties	1% - 1.5%
salix alba bark extract A plant extract that can help neutralize free radicals in skin. It contains a compound salicin that can theoretically be converted into salicylic acid that, in turn, helps reduce inflammation in skin, but the evidence of effectiveness in skin is lacking and the extract is usually not used in a concentration that would enable an exfoliating effect	0.5% - 1.15%
cellulose gum Used to create thicker product consistency and stabilize emulsions	0.5% - 1.15%
xanthan gum Used to create a thicker product consistency	0.4% - 0.95%
allantoin Helps calm down inflammation in skin and can help reduce itching. Helps to repair the skin barrier and keep skin hydrated	0.15% - 0.65%
peg-60 hydrogenated castor oil Helps oil and water mix together	0.35% - 0.8%
disodium edta Stabilizes the product formulation	0.2% - 0.8%
1,2-hexanediol A preservative	0.15% - 0.6%
glyceryl caprylate An emollient that can also help water and oil mix together, as well as prevent bacteria growth in products	0.2% - 0.7%
hydroxyacetophenone Used to increase effectiveness of preservatives	0.1% - 0.5%
synthetic fluorphlogopite A mineral that is used to improve the texture of cosmetic products	0.15% - 0.5%
tin oxide A colorant that can add a pearl-like appearance to the formulation	0.15% - 0.65%
caesalpinia sappan bark extract	0.1% - 0.3%
mica Creates an illusion of smoother and more radiant skin tone. Adds shimmer to the skin by reflecting light	0.1% - 0.35%
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	0.05% - 0.25%
ci 77499 An iron oxide. Used as a colorant. Is usually well tolerated	0.05% - 0.15%
ci 16035 A red dye	0.01% - 0.1%
