Product summary

"Tanologist - Night Treatment Oil" is effective for: Moisturizing

Ingredient callouts

This product also contains Vitamin C (Ascorbic Acid). It can be an effective active for anti-aging and evening out the skin tone, but in this moisturizer it is used for stabilizing other ingredients in the formulation. In this concentration (0.55% - 1.30%) it cannot have a noticeable benefit for the skin.
An effective concentration of Panthenol (pro-vitamin B5) - about 0.50% - 1.20%. Panthenol helps strengthen the skin barrier, improve hydration and reduce inflammation in skin.

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: panthenol, aloe barbadensis extract.

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, isopropyl myristate.

The following ingredients in this product are especially good for supporting the skin barrier and helping with the hydration level: panthenol

caprylic/capric triglyceride 1.9% - 2.9%

Irritation risk:

Concentration: Effectiveness: HIGH

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

isopropyl myristate 22% - 33%

Irritation risk: Comedogenicity: High

Concentration: Effectiveness: HIGH

panthenol 0.5% - 1.2%

Irritation risk:

Concentration: Effectiveness: HIGH

Anti-oxidation

This product contains antioxidants (punica granatum extract) 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.

punica granatum extract 0.3% - 0.75%

Irritation risk:

Concentration: Effectiveness: MEDIUM

A plant extract that can help neutralize free radicals in skin and even out the skin tone, but is typically used in products in a concentration that is too low to be effective

calendula officinalis flower oil 0.4% - 0.95%

Irritation risk:

Concentration: Effectiveness: LOW

A plant oil that might have an antibacterial and some antioxidant effect. Is a common allergen and irritant

anogeissus leiocarpus bark extract 1.2% - 1.8%

Irritation risk:

Concentration: Effectiveness: LOW

A tree bark extract that has antibacterial properties and might have an anti-oxidant effect. Its effectiveness in skin has not been studied
