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: beeswax, cocos nucifera oil.

Ingredients by volume

Ingredient	Estimated concentration
water Plain old water	40% - 60%
cocos nucifera oil An emollient. Found to be as effective as a moisturizer for dry skin as mineral oil. Could be comedogenic	4.7% - 7.1%
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	3.6% - 5.4%
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	2.7% - 4%
alcohol Can be drying and contribute to skin irritation. Used in formulars to dissolve other ingredients, create a thinner product consistency or for its antibacterial properties	2.1% - 3.1%
prunus amygdalus dulcis oil An emollient that softens the skin	1.7% - 2.6%
beeswax Forms a protective barrier that holds water and keeps dry skin hydrated. Keeps an emulsion from separating into its oil and liquid components, and increases the thickness of a product. Can be an allergen	1.5% - 2.2%
cetearyl glucoside Helps water and oil in the product mix well together and improves product texture	1.1% - 1.7%
glyceryl stearate se Used to stabilize the product formulations and works as an emollient	0.9% - 1.35%
borago officinalis seed oil A plant oil that is effective in reducing irritation in skin, restore the barrier function and support its hydration	0.6% - 1.35%
carthamus tinctorius seed oil An emollient that helps soften the skin and might help calm down inflammation	0.5% - 1.15%
helianthus annuus seed oil unsaponifiables 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	0.45% - 1%
hydrogenated coco-glycerides Helps oil and water mix together while creating a nice finish on the skin	0.35% - 0.8%
althaea officinalis root extract A plant extract that can help attract water to the upper layer of the skin and might help to reduce inflammation	0.15% - 0.55%
viola tricolor extract A plant extract that might have an anti-inflammatory effect in skin	0.15% - 0.5%
xanthan gum Used to create a thicker product consistency	0.05% - 0.25%
lactic acid An exfoliating and moisturizing alpha-hydroxy acid (AHA). Typically causes less irritation than other AHAs, for example, glycolic acid. At high concentrations (about 15%), lactic acid can help reduce lines and wrinkles. Recent studies show that lactic acid can support the "good" bacteria living on skin's surface (healthy skin microbiom)	0.05% - 0.2%
glyceryl caprylate An emollient that can also help water and oil mix together, as well as prevent bacteria growth in products	0.05% - 0.3%
