WIMJ summary

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.

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: helianthus annuus seed oil.

Ingredient	Effectiveness	Concentration	Irritancy
helianthus annuus seed oil	HIGH
glycerin	HIGH
propolis extract	MEDIUM

water Plain old water	12% - 18%
alcohol Can be drying and contribute to skin irritation. Used in formulars to dissolve other ingredients, create a thinner product consistency or for its antibacterial properties	5.4% - 8.1%
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	3.5% - 5.2%
calcium ascorbate	2.7% - 4.1%
algin Used to thicken product formulation. Can help attract water to the upper layer of the skin	2% - 3%
