WIMJ summary for anti-aging

This product does not contain ingredients that are able to reduce fine lines and wrinkles or help with skin elasticity, but it can improve the look of the skin temporarily through moisturization. Well-moisturized skin might also be able to repair the sun damage better.This ingredient - camellia sinensis leaf extract - could be helpful for preventing or repairing signs of aging in theory, but there is no evidence that it actually works.

This ingredient camellia sinensis leaf extract might be able to help neutralize free radicals in skin and help it fight off some of the sun damage.

WIMJ summary for moisturizing

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, lactobacillus ferment.

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: cocos nucifera fruit extract, hippophae rhamnoides oil.

Ingredient	Effectiveness	Concentration	Irritancy
sodium hyaluronate	HIGH
cocos nucifera fruit extract	HIGH
glycerin	HIGH

WIMJ summary for anti-oxidation

This product contains antioxidants (camellia sinensis leaf extract) that might be able to help neutralize free radicals in skin to lessen the damage it gets from the UV light (sun). There is not enough evidence to confirm their effectiveness in skin though.

Ingredient	Effectiveness	Concentration	Irritancy
camellia sinensis leaf extract	MEDIUM
coffea arabica seed extract	LOW
selaginella lepidophylla extract	LOW

Ingredients by volume

Ingredient	Estimated concentration
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	22% - 34%
mangifera indica seed butter Helps to soften the upper layer of the skin and might have some anti-oxidant effect	4.8% - 7.1%
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	4.1% - 6.2%
hydrogenated vegetable oil An oil from a mixture of different vegetables. Helps soften the upper layer of the skin	3.7% - 5.5%
silybum marianum ethyl ester Helps to create a nice product texture. Used to substitute silicones	2.6% - 3.8%
lactobacillus ferment A fermentation product created by bacteria Lactobacillus. The fermented product has anti-bacterial properties and might be helpful in calming down inflammation, but studies are lacking. Helps attract water to the upper layer of the skin. Can be used as a preservative	1.9% - 2.9%
cetearyl olivate Helps oil and water mix together	1.5% - 2.2%
coffea arabica seed oil Might be helpful in neutralizing free radicals in skin	1.2% - 1.9%
sorbitan olivate Helps oil and water mix together	1% - 1.5%
selaginella lepidophylla extract A plant extract that might be able to attract water to the upper layer of the skin, soften it and have some antioxidant effect, but evidence of effectiveness in skin is lacking	0.9% - 1.35%
terminalia arjuna extract	0.5% - 1.2%
sodium hyaluronate One of the best moisturizing ingredients. Attracts water into the upper layer of the skin	0.4% - 1%
coffea arabica seed extract Might be helpful in neutralizing free radicals in skin	0.4% - 0.9%
glycyrrhiza glabra root extract A plant extract that can help lighten the skin and calm down inflammation. Might be helpful in neutralizing free radicals	0.4% - 0.9%
hippophae rhamnoides oil A good emollient. Contains various ingredients including vitamins and fatty acids that could work in the skin to neutralize free radicals and minimize moisture loss - if enough of these compounds is able to penetrate the skin in an active form.	0.4% - 0.95%
rosa rubiginosa seed oil Plant oil that due to the high content of linoleic acid can support skin's barrier function and reduce moisture loss	0.4% - 0.9%
simmondsia chinensis seed oil Softens the upper layer of skin and helps restore the healthy skin barrier. Has shown to help calm down inflammation in skin. It is a stable oil, meaning that it retains its properties even when exposed to air.	0.4% - 0.9%
persea gratissima oil An emollient that helps soften the skin and could be helpful in repairing its barrier function	0.35% - 0.85%
cocos nucifera fruit extract An emollient. Found to be as effective as a moisturizer for dry skin as mineral oil. Could be comedogenic	0.2% - 0.8%
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	0.35% - 0.8%
lactobacillus A non-living ingredient made by fermentation with the bacteria Lactobacillus. It can help attract water to the upper layer of the skin and might help reduce inflammation	0.2% - 0.7%
oleic acid Helps soften the upper layer of the skin. At the same time, it can weaken the skin's barrier enhancing penetration of other ingredients and increasing the risk of skin dryness	0.3% - 0.75%
populus tremuloides bark extract	0.15% - 0.6%
citric acid Can work as an exfoliant but is typically used to adjust the product pH	0.15% - 0.55%
sodium phytate Used to stabilize product formulations	0.15% - 0.5%
tocopherol Pure form of vitamin E. Can help moisturise and protect the skin from free radicals. Often used to help stabilise other ingredients or the formula itself	0.1% - 0.45%
sclerotium gum Used to create gel-like formulas and stabilize emulsions	0.1% - 0.45%
lecithin Used mostly for creating emulsions - helping oil and water mix together. Helps soften the upper layer of the skin	0.15% - 0.6%
phenethyl alcohol A fragrance. Can be irritating	0.1% - 0.3%
ethylhexylglycerin A preservative	0.05% - 0.25%
