WIMJ summary for moisturizing

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: 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: caprylic/capric triglyceride, glycine soja oil.

Ingredient	Effectiveness	Concentration	Irritancy
glycine soja oil	HIGH
caprylic/capric triglyceride	HIGH
glycerin	HIGH

Ingredients by volume

Ingredient	Estimated concentration
water Plain old water	40% - 60%
unknown The ingredient is not recognized	TBC
glycine soja oil A good emollient that helps soften the skin and helps repair its barrier function	5.4% - 8.1%
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	3.6% - 5.3%
caprylic/capric triglyceride A good mix of fatty acids that forms a protective layer on the skin. Improves the shelf life of products. Derived from coconut and glycerin	2.8% - 4.2%
glyceryl stearate An emollient that softens the skin and forms a protective layer on its surface. Helps water and oil mix together	2.1% - 3.1%
cetearyl alcohol A non-drying alcohol. Works as an emollient. Helps water and oil mix together and creates a nice product texture	1.8% - 2.6%
ceteareth-20 Helps oil and water mix together. Has some emollient properties	1.5% - 2.3%
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	1.3% - 1.9%
unknown The ingredient is not recognized	TBC
citrus limon peel oil A highly irritating fragrance	1% - 1.5%
citrus nobilis	0.85% - 1.3%
unknown The ingredient is not recognized	TBC
pelargonium graveolens oil Used as a fragrance. Can be irritating	0.5% - 1.15%

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	0.15% - 0.6%
unknown The ingredient is not recognized	TBC
sambucus nigra fruit extract A plant extract that may contain a small amount of essential oils. Might be helpful in neutralizing free radicals in skin	0.1% - 0.45%
gluconolactone A polyhydroxy acid (PHA) that helps shed the dead cells from the skin surface revealing smoother skin. Is believed to be genter than AHAs. It helps attract water to the upper layer of the skin and can stimulate production of skin's own hyaluronic acid resulting in improved hydration levels. It has been shown to be helpful against acne and clogged pores if used consistently (e.g over a period of 12 weeks) in high enough concentration. It can help reduce fine lines and wrinkles and improve skin tone with long-term application. Can help neutralize free radicals	0.1% - 0.3%
sodium benzoate A preservative	0.05% - 0.25%
potassium sorbate A preservative	0.05% - 0.25%
citric acid Can work as an exfoliant but is typically used to adjust the product pH	0.05% - 0.1%
