What does the product description say?

"This product also contains Panthenol and Squalen to wrap the skin with a protective layer of moisture."

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: arginine, 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: arginine, bis-diglyceryl polyacyladipate-2.

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

Ingredient	Effectiveness	Concentration	Irritancy

Ingredients by volume

Ingredient	Estimated concentration
water Plain old water	40% - 60%
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	4.1% - 6.1%
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.	3.7% - 5.5%
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	2.6% - 4%
propylene glycol dibenzoate	2% - 3%
1,2-hexanediol A preservative	0.45% - 1.05%
bis-diglyceryl polyacyladipate-2 Helps soften the upper layer of the skin and reduce water loss from its surface	1.4% - 2.2%
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	1.3% - 2%
cetyl phosphate Helps oil and water mix together	1% - 1.5%
c12-15 alkyl benzoate Enhances the product texture and makes it more spreadable. Helps reduce water loss from the outer layer of skin. Extands the shelf life by preventing bacteria growth	0.85% - 1.3%
diphenylsiloxy phenyl trimethicone Help improve the product's texture	0.5% - 1.15%
beta-glucan Helps attract water to the upper layer of the skin, calm down inflammation and irritation, restore the barrier function and support wound healing. It can be helpful in reducing fine lines and wrinkles	0.4% - 0.95%
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.	0.3% - 0.7%
polygonum cuspidatum root extract A plant extract that can contain resveratrol, an antioxidant that can help neutralize free radicals in skin. The effectiveness depends on the extract quality and concentration in the product	0.35% - 0.85%
scutellaria baicalensis root extract A plant extract that might contain a compound baicalin that could be helpful in neutralizing free radicals and reducing inflammation in skin. The baicalin concentration in skincare products is often too low for an effective action. Can be used for its fragrant properties	0.2% - 0.8%
glycyrrhiza glabra root extract A plant extract that can help lighten the skin and calm down inflammation. Might be helpful in neutralizing free radicals	0.2% - 0.8%
camellia sinensis leaf extract Can contain potent anti-oxidant compounds (abbreviated ECG, GCG, EGC, and EGCG) that might help protect the skin from free radicals. Can help calm down inflammation and has some anti-bacterial properties. Unfortunately, these antioxidants are unstable and lose their effectiveness very quickly in products. The concentration of the antioxidant compounds in the extract also tends to be low to be effective in topical formulation	0.3% - 0.75%
rosmarinus officinalis leaf extract Can be helpful in reducing inflammation in skin. Is a likely irritant	0.15% - 0.7%
