WIMJ FORMULA ANALYSIS

It can get the job done. Best in class ingredients detected

Ingredient	Effectiveness	Concentration	Irritancy
glycolic acid	HIGH
lactic acid	MEDIUM
centella asiatica extract	MEDIUM

Pos	Ingredient Name	Description
1	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	isoamyl laurate	Helps stabilize emulsions and create a nice product texture
4	galactoarabinan	Helps attract water to the upper layer of the skin
5	scleritium gum	Used to create gel-like formulas and stabilize emulsions
6	vaccinium myrtillus fruit extract	A plant extract that might help neutralize free radicals in skin, but research on its efficacy in skin is lacking
7	glycolic acid	An alpha-hydroxy acid (AHA) that helps to remove the dead skin cells on the surface of the skin reveling a more even, smoother complexation. It is also able to stimulate collagen production with long-term use. Could help to reduce pore congestion. It can be irritating to the skin. Apply sunscreen daily if using products with glycolic acid
8	lactic acid	An exfoliating and moisturizing alpha-hydroxy acid (AHA). Typically causes less irritation than other AHAs, for example, glycolic acid. At high concentrations (about 15%), lactic acid can help reduce lines and wrinkles. Recent studies show that lactic acid can support the "good" bacteria living on skin's surface (healthy skin microbiom)
9	polysorbate 20	Helps oil and water mix together
10	phenoxyethanol	A preservative. It helps prevent bacterial growth in cosmetic products
11	sodium hydroxide	Used to adjust the product's pH
12	citrus limon (lemon) fruit extract	Used as a fragrance. Can be irritating and cause photosensitivity
13	caffeine	Might be helpful in neutralizing free radicals. Can have a dehydration effect that might somewhat decrease the look of puffy eyes
14	saccharum officinarum (sugarcane) extract	Sugar extract that helps attract water to the upper layer of the skin
15	dipotassium glycyrrhizate	A salt derived from licorice. Works as an emollient to soften the upper layer of the skin and can help calm down inflammation. Might be helpful for skin lightening
16	sodium pca	Naturally present in skin and helps to attract water to its upper layer
17	tetrasodium glutamate diacetate	Helps stabilize the product formulation
18	vitis vinifera (grape) fruit extract	A plant extract that helps attract water to the upper layer of the skin. It might be helpful in neutralizing free radicals in skin, but is less potent than the extract from the seeds
19	ananas sativus (pineapple) fruit extract	A fruit extract that might help to attract water to the upper layer of the skin, but there is no evidence for any other benefits to the skin
20	passiflora edulis fruit extract
21	cannabidiol	CBD. Can bind to skin cell receptors and can reduce inflammation, itching, and help support skin barrier function
22	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
23	citrus aurantium dulcis (orange) fruit extract	A plant extract that is used as a fragrance. Can be irritating and lead to photosensitivity
24	alcohol denat.	Produces temporary toning effect. Can help dissolve other ingredients or preserve products
25	ethylhexylglycerin	A preservative
26	terminalia ferdinandiana fruit extract	A plant extract that might have some anti-oxidant effect in skin, but evidence is lacking
27	nymphaea alba flower extract
28	acer saccharum (sugar maple) extract	Helps attract water to the upper layer of the skin
29	leuconostoc/radish root ferment filtrate	A preservative that comes from radishes fermented by a bacteria. New research suggests that the preservation properties in the ingredient come from an ammonium salt that is not present naturally in radish root but used in its cultivation. Is problematic because the exact amount of the preservative agents is difficult to determine
30	hyaluronic acid	One of the best moisturizing ingredients. Attracts water into the upper layer of the skin. Naturally present in skin. Typically has large molecule size unless advertised otherwise on the product label. Helps support skin's barrier function and may help to reduce inflammation
31	sodium benzoate	A preservative
32	centella asiatica extract	A plant extract that has been shown to be able to reduce inflammation in skin, support restoration of skin barrier function, as well as support collagen production. Contains active compounds called centelloids: asiaticoside, madecasosside, asiatic acid and madecassic acid. Might be helpful in preventing stretch marks. It can be itself be irritating though.
33	potassium sorbate	A preservative
34	disodium edta	Stabilizes the product formulation
35	sodium bisulfite
