WIMJ FORMULA ANALYSIS

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

Ingredient	Effectiveness	Concentration	Irritancy
ascorbic acid	HIGH

Pos	Ingredient Name	Description
1	ascorbic acid	One of the few well researched potent anti-aging ingredients. When it is able to penetrate the skin in an active state, it is effective against fine lines and wrinkles, helps improve skin elasticity and reduce hyperpigmentation. It acts as a powerful anti-oxidant and stimulates collagen production. The main issue with ascorbic acid is that it is highly unstable, in other words, it is losing its effectivenss quickly when exposed to air and light (if a serum or cream containing ascorbic acid has an orange color, it is a likely that the ingredient has oxidized and is no longer active). In addition, it is water-soluble, meaning that it has difficulty pentrating the skin. It is also quite irritating, and can cause stinging. When used in low concentrations, helps stabilize the product formulation
2	squalane	An oil naturally present in skin. Works as an emollient to soften the skin and form a protective layer on its surface without a greasy feeling.
3	isodecyl neopentanoate	An emollient that helps soften the skin. It also forms a protective on its surface to reduce water loss.
4	isononyl isononanoate	Forms a protective film on the surface of the skin to prevent moisture loss. Gives a velvety feel to products while reducing tackiness
5	coconut alkanes	An emollient that helps soften the skin
6	ethylene/propylene/styrene copolymer	Used to create a thicker product consistency
7	ethylhexyl palmitate	An emollient that helps soften the skin and create a nice product texture
8	silica dimethyl silylate	Used to create a thicker product consistency
9	sodium hyaluronate	One of the best moisturizing ingredients. Attracts water into the upper layer of the skin
10	glucomannan
11	coco-caprylate/caprate	Helps to soften the upper layer of the skin without creating a greasy texture
12	butylene/ethylene/styrene copolymer	Used to create a gel-like product texture
