WIMJ summary for anti-aging

This product does not contain ingredients that are able to reduce fine lines and wrinkles or help with skin elasticity, but it can improve the look of the skin temporarily through moisturization. Well-moisturized skin might also be able to repair the sun damage better.This ingredient - sodium ascorbyl phosphate - could be helpful for preventing or repairing signs of aging in theory, but there is no evidence that it actually works.

This ingredient sodium ascorbyl phosphate might be able to help neutralize free radicals in skin and help it fight off some of the sun damage.

Ingredient	Effectiveness	Concentration	Irritancy
sodium ascorbyl phosphate	LOW

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, sodium hyaluronate.

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, dimethicone.

Ingredient	Effectiveness	Concentration	Irritancy
caprylic/capric triglyceride	HIGH
dimethicone	HIGH
glycerin	HIGH

WIMJ summary for anti-oxidation

This product contains antioxidants (sodium ascorbyl phosphate) that might be able to help neutralize free radicals in skin to lessen the damage it gets from the UV light (sun). There is not enough evidence to confirm their effectiveness in skin though.

Ingredient	Effectiveness	Concentration	Irritancy
sodium ascorbyl phosphate	MEDIUM
alaria esculenta extract	LOW
tocopheryl acetate	LOW

IRRITANCY

HIGH

Ingredient	Irritancy	Skin Benefit
caprylic/capric triglyceride
sodium ascorbyl phosphate
polyacrylamide

Ingredients by volume

Ingredient	Estimated concentration
water Plain old water	40% - 60%
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	6.5% - 9.7%
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% - 5.4%
dimethicone A silicone that helps to reduce water loss from the surface of the skin. Can temporarily "fill in" lines and wrinkles, absorb oil, and create a nice product finish	2.8% - 4.1%
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	1.9% - 2.8%
polyacrylamide Used to improve product texture and help oil and water mix together	1.5% - 2.3%
phenoxyethanol A preservative. It helps prevent bacterial growth in cosmetic products	0.5% - 1%
acrylates/vinyl isodecanoate crosspolymer Used to stabilize product formulation, help create an even product layer over skin (for example, in sunscreen), evenly disperse pigements and create a nice product consistency	1.1% - 1.7%
c13-14 isoparaffin Helps soften the upper layer of the skin, dissolve other ingredients and create a thicker product consistency	1% - 1.5%
laureth-7 Helps oil and water mix together	0.6% - 1.4%
disodium edta Stabilizes the product formulation	0.5% - 1%
parfum An aromatic blend of unspecified and possibly irritating ingredients	0.35% - 0.85%
2-bromo-2-nitropropane-1,3-diol	0.05% - 0.1%
alaria esculenta extract Works as a humectant helping to attract water to the upper layer of the skin and might be effective as an anti-oxidant.	0.2% - 0.7%
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.	0.15% - 0.65%
sodium hyaluronate One of the best moisturizing ingredients. Attracts water into the upper layer of the skin	0.1% - 0.45%
limonene A common frangrance that can easily irritate skin, especially if exposed to air, light or heat	0.1% - 0.35%
citral A fragrance with a lemon scent. A likely irritant	0.05% - 0.25%
hydroxycitronellal A fragrance. A likely allergen and can be irritating	0.05% - 0.2%
ci 77015	0.05% - 0.2%
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. In small concentrations, used for its ability to improve the color of cosmetic products. Is usually well tolerated by the skin	0.05% - 0.2%
