"London Rose Quartz Mineral Night Moisturiser"

From product name

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: glycerin, isomalt.

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: cocos nucifera oil, cetearyl alcohol.

The following ingredients in this product are especially good for supporting the skin barrier and helping with the hydration level: dipeptide diaminobutyroyl benzylamide diacetate, palmitoyl tetrapeptide-7, palmitoyl tripeptide-1

Ingredients by volume

Ingredient	Estimated concentration
water Plain old water	45% - 55%
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	5.1% - 6.2%
glyceryl stearate se Used to stabilize the product formulations and works as an emollient	3.5% - 4.2%
cetearyl alcohol A non-drying alcohol. Works as an emollient. Helps water and oil mix together and creates a nice product texture	2.4% - 3%
stearic acid Helps oil and water mix together and works as an emollient	2.4% - 2.9%
cocos nucifera oil An emollient. Found to be as effective as a moisturizer for dry skin as mineral oil. Could be comedogenic	1.9% - 2.3%
isoceteth-20 Helps water and oil mix together	1.6% - 1.9%
rosa damascena flower oil Used as a fragrance. Can be irritating	1.4% - 1.7%
polysorbate 20 Helps oil and water mix together	1.1% - 1.4%
pelargonium graveolens flower oil An essential oil. Can be irritating. Can become an allergen with oxidation	0.9% - 1.1%
carbomer Helps create a thicker or gel-like product texture. It is not a surfactant but can be used in gentle cleansing formulations	0.65% - 0.95%
butyrospermum parkii seedcake extract	0.55% - 0.8%
citrus aurantium flower oil	0.45% - 0.7%
subtilisin	0.4% - 0.65%

parfum An aromatic blend of unspecified and possibly irritating ingredients	0.3% - 0.6%
geraniol A fragrance. Can be irritating	0.3% - 0.6%
limonene A common frangrance that can easily irritate skin, especially if exposed to air, light or heat	0.3% - 0.5%
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	0.3% - 0.5%
benzyl salicylate A fragrance. Is a likely irritant	0.25% - 0.45%
lecithin Used mostly for creating emulsions - helping oil and water mix together. Helps soften the upper layer of the skin	0.3% - 0.5%
ascorbyl glucoside A vitamin C derivative that is more stable but less potent than pure form of vitamin C. Has a potential to boost collagen production, nutralise free radicals and 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	0.25% - 0.45%
phenoxyethanol A preservative. It helps prevent bacterial growth in cosmetic products	0.25% - 0.45%
sodium lactate Helps attract water to the upper layer of the skin. Is often used to adjust the pH level of the product	0.2% - 0.4%

disodium edta Stabilizes the product formulation	0.2% - 0.4%
linalool A fragrance. Can be irritating	0.2% - 0.35%
