WIMJ FORMULA ANALYSIS

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

Ingredient	Effectiveness	Concentration	Irritancy
glycolic acid	HIGH
lactic acid	HIGH

Pos	Ingredient Name	Description
1	aqua (water	Plain old water
2	ethyl ascorbic acid	A vitamin C derivative that is more stable but less potent than pure form of vitamin C. Can help neutralize free radicals and help reduce hyperpigmentation, but the required concentration is likely to be much higher than for the pure form of vitamin C, limiting the ingredient's effectiveness in products
3	ammonium acryloyldimethyltaurate/vp copolymer	Increases thickness of a product. Texture enhancer for oil-in-water emulsions
4	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
5	sodium lactate	Helps attract water to the upper layer of the skin. Is often used to adjust the pH level of the product
6	adipic acid/neopentyl glycol crosspolymer	Helps optically blurr skin imperfections such as fine lines and pores
7	citrus sinensis (orange) fruit extract
8	lactic acid	An exfoliating and moisturizing alpha-hydroxy acid (AHA). Typically causes less irritation than other AHAs, for example, glycolic acid. At high concentrations (about 15%), lactic acid can help reduce lines and wrinkles. Recent studies show that lactic acid can support the "good" bacteria living on skin's surface (healthy skin microbiom)
9	phenoxyethanol	A preservative. It helps prevent bacterial growth in cosmetic products
10	propylene glycol	Helps oil and water mix together and can enhance the penetration of other ingredients into the skin
11	punica granatum (pomegranate) extract	A plant extract that can help neutralize free radicals in skin and even out the skin tone, but is typically used in products in a concentration that is too low to be effective
12	disodium edta	Stabilizes the product formulation
13	ethylhexylglycerin	A preservative
14	sodium sulfite	Helps stabilize and preserve a product formulation
15	alcohol denat.	Produces temporary toning effect. Can help dissolve other ingredients or preserve products
16	ananas sativus (pineapple) fruit extract	A fruit extract that might help to attract water to the upper layer of the skin, but there is no evidence for any other benefits to the skin
17	passiflora quadrangularis fruit extract
18	vitis vinifera (grape) fruit extract	A plant extract that helps attract water to the upper layer of the skin. It might be helpful in neutralizing free radicals in skin, but is less potent than the extract from the seeds
19	parfum (fragrance	An aromatic blend of unspecified irritating ingredients
20	citral	A fragrance with a lemon scent. A likely irritant
21	limonene	A common frangrance that can easily irritate skin, especially if exposed to air, light or heat
