WIMJ FORMULA ANALYSIS

It can get the job done. Best in class ingredients detected

Ingredient	Effectiveness	Concentration	Irritancy
glycolic acid	HIGH
adenosine	MEDIUM
ascorbyl glucoside	MEDIUM

Pos	Ingredient Name	Description
1	aqua / water	Plain old water
2	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
3	limnanthes alba seed oil	This oil's cmposition is closest to rapeseed oil. It is a very stable oil and serves as an emoillient.
4	/ meadowfoam, seed oil,	The ingredient is not recognized
5	isononyl isononanoate	Forms a protective film on the surface of the skin to prevent moisture loss. Gives a velvety feel to products while reducing tackiness
6	glycolic acid	An alpha-hydroxy acid (AHA) that helps to remove the dead skin cells on the surface of the skin reveling a more even, smoother complexation. It is also able to stimulate collagen production with long-term use. Could help to reduce pore congestion. It can be irritating to the skin. Apply sunscreen daily if using products with glycolic acid
7	propylene glycol	Helps oil and water mix together and can enhance the penetration of other ingredients into the skin
8	alcohol denat.	Produces temporary toning effect. Can help dissolve other ingredients or preserve products
9	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
10	sodium hydroxide	Used to adjust the product's pH
11	hydroxyethylpiperazine ethane sulfonic acid	Used to regulate product's pH
12	argania spinosa kernel oil	An emollient that helps soften the upper layer of the skin. Might have some weak anti-oxidant properties
13	glucose	Helps attract water to the upper layer of the skin. Could be helpful in restoring the skin barrier function
14	calendula officinalis flower extract	A plant extract that has some anti-oxidant and anti-bacterial properties. Can be irritating
15	cereus grandiflorus flower extract / cactus flower extract	A cactus extract that can help neutralize free radicals because it contains a chemical compound called betacyanins and flavonolglycosides. Can help make the surface of the skin dryer helping make pores look smaller for a very short period of time. The concentrations usually used in cosmetics are too small to have any effect
16	haematococcus pluvialis extract	Green algae extract that might contain antioxidant astaxanthin
17	adenosine	Might help improve cell turnover and reduce inflammation in skin. One study shows that the ingredients might be able to stimulate collagen production in skin
18	ascorbyl glucoside	A vitamin C derivative that is more stable but less potent than pure form of vitamin C. Has a potential to boost collagen production, nutralise free radicals and reduce hyperpigmentation, but the required concentration is likely to be much higher than for the pure form of vitamin C, limiting the ingredient's effectiveness in products
19	hydrolyzed linseed extract	Helps soften the upper layer of the skin
20	citric acid	Can work as an exfoliant but is typically used to adjust the product pH
21	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)
22	xanthan gum	Used to create a thicker product consistency
23	panthenol	Helps attract water to the upper layer of the skin and can help improve skin barrier function
24	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
25	potassium sorbate	A preservative
26	sodium benzoate	A preservative
27	salicylic acid	Used for skin exfoliation. It has an anti-inflammatory and anti-bacterial effect, helps to unclog pores, prevent blemishes and speed up healing of the existing ones. Sometimes referred to as a BHA (beta-hydroxy acid)
28	caramel
29	limonene	A common frangrance that can easily irritate skin, especially if exposed to air, light or heat
30	parfum / fragrance	An aromatic blend of unspecified irritating ingredients
