WIMJ FORMULA ANALYSIS

Yes. Has good ingredients to attract water to the skin and then "seal it in", keeping skin hydrated over time

Ingredient	Effectiveness	Concentration	Irritancy
glycerin	HIGH
hydrolyzed wheat protein	HIGH
ethylhexyl cocoate	HIGH

Pos	Ingredient Name	Description
1	aqua (water	Plain old water
2	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
3	peg-40 hydrogenated castor oil	Helps oil and water mix together
4	phenoxyethanol	A preservative. It helps prevent bacterial growth in cosmetic products
5	benzyl alcohol	A preservative. Can be used to mask unpleasant smell. Can be irritating
6	carbomer	Helps create a gel-like product texture. Can be used in gentle cleansing formulations
7	mica	Creates an illusion of smoother and more radiant skin tone. Adds shimmer to the skin by reflecting light
8	hdi/trimethylol hexyllactone crosspolymer	Used to create a silky product texture and add volume to products
9	sodium hydroxide	Used to adjust the product's pH
10	buteth-3
11	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
12	parfum (fragrance	An aromatic blend of unspecified irritating ingredients
13	macrocystis pyrifera extract
14	sodium benzotriazolyl butylphenol sulfonate
15	hydrolyzed wheat protein	Can help attract water to the upper layer of the skin. Avoid if sensitive to gluten
16	disodium edta	Stabilizes the product formulation
17	pvp	Helps evenly disperse other ingredients in a formulation and create an even layer on the surface of the skin
18	sodium ascorbyl phosphate	A stable derivative of vitamin C. It is oil-soluble which means it is more likely to penetrate the skin compared to the pure form of vitamin C (which is water-soluble), but it is less bio-available and is way less effective in stimulating collagen and reducing wrinkles compared to the pure form of vitamin C (L-ascorbic acid) and its other derivatives (for example, magnesium ascorbyl phosphate). At the same time, this vitamin C derivative has been shown in studies to be effective in reducing acne, blemishes and clogged pores. It is less irritating then the pure form of vitamin C
19	ethylhexylglycerin	A preservative
20	cyclopentasiloxane	A silicone that helps improve the product texture and spreadability. Can absord oil creating a short-term mattifying effect on the skin
21	dehydroacetic acid	A preservative
22	propylene glycol	Helps oil and water mix together and can enhance the penetration of other ingredients into the skin
23	benzyl salicylate	A fragrance. Is a likely irritant
24	ethylhexyl cocoate	Helps soften the upper layer of the skin
25	hexyl cinnamal	A fragrance with jasmine smell. A likely irritant
26	silica	Used to absorb oil and can temporarily mattify skin
27	limonene	A common frangrance that can easily irritate skin, especially if exposed to air, light or heat
28	dimethiconol	A silicone that makes products more spreadable and keeps skin smooth. Helps to add gloss to skin and may visually fill in fine lines/wrinkles for short time
29	tributyl citrate
30	polymethylsilsesquioxane	A silicone that improves product texture and helps dissolve other ingredients. Can form a non-greasy film on the skin to prevent moisture loss
31	citronellol	A fragrance. Can be irritating
32	alpha-isomethyl ionone	A fragrance. Potential allergen and can be irritating
33	punica granatum (pomegranate) fruit extract

36	diamond powder
37	ci 77891 (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.
