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, sodium hyaluronate.

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: palmitoyl tetrapeptide-7, ethylhexyl palmitate.

The following ingredients in this product are especially good for supporting the skin barrier and helping with the hydration level: palmitoyl tetrapeptide-7

Ingredients by volume

Ingredient	Estimated concentration
water Plain old water	40% - 60%
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	5.6% - 8.5%
polyacrylamide Used to improve product texture and help oil and water mix together	3.9% - 5.9%
ethylhexyl palmitate An emollient that helps soften the skin and create a nice product texture	2.8% - 4.2%
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	2.1% - 3.2%
c13-14 isoparaffin Helps soften the upper layer of the skin, dissolve other ingredients and create a thicker product consistency	1.7% - 2.6%
phenoxyethanol A preservative. It helps prevent bacterial growth in cosmetic products	0.5% - 1%
caprylyl glycol Helps preserve products and creates a nice product texture	1.3% - 1.9%
pullulan Creates a thin drying film on the skin resulting in a short-term tightening effect	1% - 1.5%
laureth-7 Helps oil and water mix together	0.6% - 1.4%
tocopheryl acetate A more stable but less bio-available form of vitamin E compared to Tocopherol. Might help moisturize and protect the skin from free radicals, but mostly used in low concentrations to stabilize other ingredients.	0.5% - 1.15%
tetrahexyldecyl ascorbate Being a lipid soluble form of vitamin C. It is more stable than ascorbic acid, but still degrades quickly and needs to be stabilized in a formulation with another ingredient. It is claimed to penetrate skin better than pure vitamin C and have the the similar benefits, but solid studies of its effectiveness are lacking. Is likely to require a higher concentration in a product than pure vitamin C to be effective.	0.4% - 0.95%
silica dimethyl silylate Used to create a thicker product consistency	0.4% - 0.9%
nannochloropsis oculata extract A microalgae extract that helps to attact water to the upper layer of the skin	0.35% - 0.8%
