What does the product description say?

"Apricot & Shea Hydrasoothing Mask"

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: algae extract, anhydroxylitol.

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: algae extract, prunus armeniaca kernel oil.

Ingredient	Effectiveness	Concentration	Irritancy
algae extract	HIGH
anhydroxylitol	HIGH
beta-glucan	HIGH

WIMJ summary

This product contains antioxidants (vitis vinifera seed extract) 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	45% - 55%
prunus armeniaca kernel oil An emollient that helps soften the skin	3.9% - 4.8%
algae extract Plant extract that helps the skin to attract water and make it more smooth for touch. Also shows promise of anti-aging properties, but research is not extensive yet	3.9% - 4.8%
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% - 3.7%
cetearyl alcohol A non-drying alcohol. Works as an emollient. Helps water and oil mix together and creates a nice product texture	2.4% - 2.9%
cetearyl glucoside Helps water and oil in the product mix well together and improves product texture	1.9% - 2.4%
arachidyl alcohol Used to soften the upper layer of the skin and create a thicker product consistency	1.7% - 2.1%
arachidyl glucoside Helps oil and water mix together	1.4% - 1.8%
behenyl alcohol Non-drying alcohol that helps water and oil mix together. Also serves as an emollient	1.3% - 1.6%
yeast extract Helps attract water to the upper layer of the skin and might have some anti-oxidant and skin lightening properties. It can help calm down inflammation in skin	0.95% - 1.2%
prunus persica extract	0.95% - 1.15%
prunus armeniaca fruit extract A fruit extract that might have some antioxidant properties and might help attract water to the skin, but evidence of effectiveness is lacking	0.6% - 0.9%
butyrospermum parkii butter A great moisturising ingredient that softens the skin and reduces water loss from its upper layer. It also can be helpful in protecting skin from free radicals	0.6% - 0.9%
lavandula angustifolia flower water	0.5% - 0.75%
ascorbyl palmitate Being a lipid soluble form of vitamin C, it is more stable and can penetrate the skin better than L-Ascorbic acid. It is effective in protecting the skin from free radicals, as well as evening the skin tone, but is less effective in stimulating collagen production compared to L-Ascorbic acid.	0.5% - 0.7%
phospholipids Emollients that are naturaly present in skin. In addition, they help water and oil mix together in the product	0.5% - 0.7%
retinyl palmitate Three steps removed from the active form of vitamin A - retinoic acid. To have an effect in the skin, it first needs to be converted twice to become the retinoic acid. This means it is less potent than retinol, but could also be less irritating. Once converted to the retinoic acid in the skin, it helps against all signs of aging, improves skin cell turnover and helps fight blemishes and clogged pores. However, in many cosmetic formulations, it is used in a concentration that is too low to have the full effect	0.45% - 0.65%
tocopheryl acetate A more stable but less bio-available form of vitamin E compared to Tocopherol. Might help moisturize and protect the skin from free radicals, but mostly used in low concentrations to stabilize other ingredients.	0.45% - 0.65%
cassia angustifolia seed polysaccharide Helps attract water to the upper layer of the skin. Is sometimes referred to as "natural" hyaluronic acid (even though hyaluronic acid is not unnatural and is present in human skin)	0.35% - 0.65%
phenoxyethanol A preservative. It helps prevent bacterial growth in cosmetic products	0.35% - 0.65%
rosa damascena flower water Used to add a nice rose smell to the product. Can be irritating	0.3% - 0.55%
xylitylglucoside Helps attract water to the upper layer of the skin and repair the skin barrier function	0.3% - 0.55%
unknown The ingredient is not recognized	TBC
capryloyl glycine Helps oil and water mix together, preserve cosmetic products, and attract water to the upper layer of the skin	0.45% - 0.65%
octanediol	0.3% - 0.55%
anhydroxylitol Helps attract water to the upper layer of the skin and repair the skin barrir function	0.3% - 0.5%
lecithin Used mostly for creating emulsions - helping oil and water mix together. Helps soften the upper layer of the skin	0.3% - 0.6%
vitex agnus castus extract	0.25% - 0.5%
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	0.25% - 0.5%
xylitol Helps attract water to the upper layer of the skin and repair the skin barrier function	0.25% - 0.45%
alcohol Can be drying and contribute to skin irritation. Used in formulars to dissolve other ingredients, create a thinner product consistency or for its antibacterial properties	0.25% - 0.45%
peg-400	0.25% - 0.45%
tocopherol Pure form of vitamin E. Can help moisturise and protect the skin from free radicals. Often used to help stabilise other ingredients or the formula itself	0.2% - 0.4%
beta-glucan Helps attract water to the upper layer of the skin, calm down inflammation and irritation, restore the barrier function and support wound healing. It can be helpful in reducing fine lines and wrinkles	0.2% - 0.35%
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	0.25% - 0.45%
ascorbyl tetraisopalmitate A vitamin C derivative. Studies show that is might be effective in reducing hyperpigmentation, but there are no studies confirming that it is effectively converted into the bioavailable form of Vitamin C in skin. It is not clear how this derivative compares in effectiveness to the topical application of bioavailable form of vitamin C (L-ascorbic acid)	0.2% - 0.35%
cyclodextrin A type of sugar that is used to support delivery of active ingredients and can enhance their penetration into the skin without disrupting the skin's barrier	0.15% - 0.25%
ascorbic acid The most well-researched antioxidant that works in skin. Helps neutralize free radicals supporting collagen production, helping to even out the skin tone and preventing early signs of aging	0.1% - 0.2%
citric acid Can work as an exfoliant but is typically used to adjust the product pH	0.1% - 0.15%
vitis vinifera seed extract A plant extract that contains resveratrol and other anti-oxidant compounds that can help neutralize free radicals, reduce inflammation in skin and even out its tone. Can be also used to stabilize the product formulation	0.1% - 0.2%
dipalmitoyl hydroxyproline Is claimed to stimulate collagen and elastin production, as well as work as an anti-oxidant. There is however not enough evidence for its effectiveness	0.05% - 0.1%
