WIMJ FORMULA ANALYSIS

Ingredient	Effectiveness	Concentration	Irritancy
coco-caprylate/caprate	HIGH
centella asiatica extract	HIGH
sodium hyaluronate	HIGH

Pos	Ingredient Name	Description
1	aqua (water	Plain old water
2	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	cyclopentasiloxane	A silicone that helps improve the product texture and spreadability. Can absord oil creating a short-term mattifying effect on the skin
4	coco-caprylate/caprate	Helps to soften the upper layer of the skin without creating a greasy texture
5	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	glyceryl stearate	An emollient that softens the skin and forms a protective layer on its surface. Helps water and oil mix together
7	candelilla/jojoba/rice bran polyglyceryl-3 esters
8	trichilia emetica (mafura) seed butter
9	ethylhexyl palmitate	An emollient that helps soften the skin and create a nice product texture

13	sodium stearoyl lactylate	Helps oil and water mix together
14	hydroxyacetophenone	Used to increase effectiveness of preservatives
15	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.
16	phenoxyethanol	A preservative. It helps prevent bacterial growth in cosmetic products
17	polysilicone-11	A silicone that forms a light film on the skin surface helping to bind water and temporarily absorb oils creating a matt and powdery feel
18	benzyl alcohol	A preservative. Can be used to mask unpleasant smell. Can be irritating
19	aminobutyric acid	Has been shown to support wound healing and skin barrier function when used topically in rats.

21	sodium anisate	Used as a fragrance
