WIMJ summary for exfoliation

This product does not contain effective exfoliating ingredients. It might be able to deliver physical exfoliation, that is scrub off some of the dead cells on the surface of the skin. We do not recommend physical exfoliation, because it is not uniform (some bits of skin can get exfoliated too much while others not at all). It can also traumatize the skin and aggrevate acne and other skin conditions.

What does the product description say?

"Turmeric Brightening Polish uses micronized walnut shell to exfoliate and prep the skin, turmeric to brighten skin, and olive oil to deliver superior hydration."

Sephora

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.

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: caprylic/capric triglyceride, helianthus annuus seed oil.

Ingredient	Effectiveness	Concentration	Irritancy
glycerin	HIGH
helianthus annuus seed oil	HIGH
sesamum indicum seed oil	HIGH

MEDIUM

Ingredient	Irritancy	Skin Benefit
caprylic/capric triglyceride
ethyl macadamiate
olea europaea fruit oil

Ingredients by volume

Ingredient	Estimated concentration
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	22% - 33%
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	6.1% - 9.2%
ethyl macadamiate Helps water and oil mix together	3.3% - 4.9%
sodium laurylglucosides hydroxypropylsulfonate	3.4% - 5.1%
olea europaea fruit oil An emollient that helps soften the skin but is not effective for restoring its barrier function. Might be helpful to calm down inflammation	2.6% - 4%
juglans regia shell powder	2.1% - 3.1%
helianthus annuus seed oil A great emollient due to its high linoleic acid content. One of the most effective plant oils in helping skin hydration and repairing skin barrier function	1.8% - 2.7%
sesamum indicum seed oil A good moisturizing plant oil. Due to the high linoleic acid content, it helps soften the upper layer of the skin, reduce water loss and support skin barrier function	1.3% - 2%
unknown The ingredient is not recognized	TBC
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	0.95% - 1.4%
sucrose palmitate	0.95% - 1.4%
glyceryl caprylate An emollient that can also help water and oil mix together, as well as prevent bacteria growth in products	0.55% - 1.35%
silica Used to absorb oil and can temporarily mattify skin	0.85% - 1.3%
curcuma longa root extract A plant extract that can contain an active compound curcumin, that may have some anti-inflammatory properties when applied to the skin, but solid research is lacking and the typical concentration used in skincare products is too low. Can be an irritant	0.35% - 0.75%
glyceryl undecylenate Helps oil and water mix together and helps preserve the product formulation	0.4% - 0.95%
unknown The ingredient is not recognized	TBC
curcuma longa root extract A plant extract that can contain an active compound curcumin, that may have some anti-inflammatory properties when applied to the skin, but solid research is lacking and the typical concentration used in skincare products is too low. Can be an irritant	0.1% - 0.45%
leuconostoc/radish root ferment filtrate A preservative that comes from radishes fermented by a bacteria. New research suggests that the preservation properties in the ingredient come from an ammonium salt that is not present naturally in radish root but used in its cultivation. Is problematic because the exact amount of the preservative agents is difficult to determine	0.1% - 0.3%
santalum album extract Used as a fragrance. Can be irritating	0.1% - 0.5%
water Plain old water	0.05% - 0.25%
