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: butyrospermum parkii butter, caprylic/capric triglyceride.

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

WIMJ summary

This product contains antioxidants (punica granatum 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.

Ingredients by volume

Ingredient	Estimated concentration
water Plain old water	45% - 55%
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	4.7% - 5.7%
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	4.3% - 5.2%
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	3.1% - 3.8%
glyceryl stearate se Used to stabilize the product formulations and works as an emollient	2.3% - 2.8%
butyrospermum parkii butter A great moisturising ingredient that softens the skin and reduces water loss from its upper layer. It also can be helpful in protecting skin from free radicals	2% - 2.5%
dimethicone A silicone that helps to reduce water loss from the surface of the skin. Can temporarily "fill in" lines and wrinkles, absorb oil, and create a nice product finish	1.7% - 2.1%
stearic acid Helps oil and water mix together and works as an emollient	1.6% - 1.9%
cetyl alcohol A non-drying alcohol that works to soften the skin and stabilize product formulations helping oil and water mix together	1.3% - 1.6%
isohexadecane Improves the texture of the product and helps soften the skin. Helps oil and water mix together and can be used as a cleansing agent	1.1% - 1.3%
retinyl palmitate Three steps removed from the active form of vitamin A - retinoic acid. To have an effect in the skin, it first needs to be converted twice to become the retinoic acid. This means it is less potent than retinol, but could also be less irritating. Once converted to the retinoic acid in the skin, it helps against all signs of aging, improves skin cell turnover and helps fight blemishes and clogged pores. However, in many cosmetic formulations, it is used in a concentration that is too low to have the full effect	0.7% - 1.05%
niacinamide Is proven to be effective in reducing blemishes, evening out skin tone and helping to improve lines and wrinkles. It helps the skin to repair sun damage, calm down inflammation and keep maintain good levels of moisture	0.6% - 0.9%
ascorbic acid The most well-researched antioxidant that works in skin. Helps neutralize free radicals supporting collagen production, helping to even out the skin tone and preventing early signs of aging	0.55% - 0.8%
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	0.5% - 0.75%
panthenol Helps attract water to the upper layer of the skin and can help improve skin barrier function	0.45% - 0.7%
cucumis sativus fruit extract Might be somewhat helpful in reducing hyperpigmentation and neutralizing free radicals but its typical concentration in a product is too low for having an effect	0.45% - 0.7%
aloe barbadensis leaf extract Traditionally used to treat sunburns, dermatitis and inflammation, but evidence for its effectiveness is lacking. The extract can contain humectants that help attract water into the skin	0.5% - 0.75%
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	0.4% - 0.65%
coffea arabica seed extract Might be helpful in neutralizing free radicals in skin	0.3% - 0.6%
euterpe oleracea fruit extract A plant extract that can have some anti-oxidant effect in skin	0.3% - 0.6%
garcinia mangostana fruit extract A fruit extract that might have some anti-oxidant properties	0.3% - 0.5%
lycium barbarum fruit extract A plant extract that can help neutralize free radicals in skin and attract water to its upper layer	0.3% - 0.5%
morinda citrifolia fruit extract	0.25% - 0.45%
punica granatum extract A plant extract that can help neutralize free radicals in skin and even out the skin tone, but is typically used in products in a concentration that is too low to be effective	0.25% - 0.45%
cocos nucifera oil An emollient. Found to be as effective as a moisturizer for dry skin as mineral oil. Could be comedogenic	0.25% - 0.45%
theobroma cacao seed butter Helps soften the upper layer of the skin and can be helpful in restoring the skin barrier function. Might have some anti-oxidant effect	0.25% - 0.5%
petrolatum One of the most effective and the most studied occlusive ingredients that creates a protective layer on top of the skin preventing moisture loss	0.25% - 0.5%
acrylates/c10-30 alkyl acrylate crosspolymer Maintains the texture of skincare products. Allows the product to spread evenly. Helps oil and water mix together	0.2% - 0.4%
disodium edta Stabilizes the product formulation	0.2% - 0.35%
peg-150 stearate	0.2% - 0.35%
triethanolamine Used to adjust pH of the product and can help improve the product's smell	0.15% - 0.3%
bht A preservative	0.1% - 0.2%
diazolidinyl urea A preservative. Works by releasing formaldehyde. Can be irritating	0.1% - 0.2%
sodium dehydroacetate A preservative	0.1% - 0.2%
parfum An aromatic blend of unspecified and possibly irritating ingredients	0.05% - 0.1%
