WIMJ FORMULA ANALYSIS

Yes. Has good ingredients to attract water to the skin and then "seal it in", keeping skin hydrated over time

Ingredient	Effectiveness	Concentration	Irritancy
glycogen	HIGH
glycerin	HIGH
alaria esculenta extract	HIGH

Pos	Ingredient Name	Description
1	aqua (water	Plain old water
2	lactobionic acid	A polyhydroxy acid (PHA) that helps shed dead cells from the surface of the skin revealing a smoother, more even skin. PHAs tend to be gentler on the skin compared to AHAs (for example, glycolic acid). It also has hydrating properties and helps attract water to the upper layer of the skin. It can help calm down inflammation in skin and support restoration of the barrier function
3	propylene glycol	Helps oil and water mix together and can enhance the penetration of other ingredients into the skin
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
5	ammonium acryloyldimethyltaurate/ vp copolymer	Increases thickness of a product. Texture enhancer for oil-in-water emulsions
6	cyclopentasiloxane	A silicone that helps improve the product texture and spreadability. Can absord oil creating a short-term mattifying effect on the skin
7	polysilicone-11	A silicone that forms a light film on the skin surface helping to bind water and temporarily absorb oils creating a matt and powdery feel
8	sodium lactate	Helps attract water to the upper layer of the skin. Is often used to adjust the pH level of the product
9	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
10	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
11	phenoxyethanol	A preservative. It helps prevent bacterial growth in cosmetic products
12	mannitol	Helps to attract water to the upper layer of the skin
13	laminaria digitata extract	Seaweed extract that helps the skin to attract water and make it more smooth for touch. Also shows promise of anti-aging properties, but good research is lacking at the moment
14	yeast extract	Helps attract water to the upper layer of the skin and might have some anti-oxidant and skin lightening properties. It can help calm down inflammation in skin
15	acrylates copolymer	Used to stabilize product formulation, help create an even product layer over skin (for example, in sunscreen) and create a thicker product consistency
16	behenyl alcohol	Non-drying alcohol that helps water and oil mix together. Also serves as an emollient
17	butyrospermum parkii (shea 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
18	magnesium aspartate	Might be helpful in restoring skin barrier function and calm down inflammation in skin
19	mica	Creates an illusion of smoother and more radiant skin tone. Adds shimmer to the skin by reflecting light
20	parfum (fragrance	An aromatic blend of unspecified irritating ingredients
21	sodium hyaluronate	One of the best moisturizing ingredients. Attracts water into the upper layer of the skin
22	disodium adenosine triphosphate
23	ethylhexylglycerin	A preservative
24	hydrogenated castor oil	A plant oil that can help soften the skin. It might be helpful in calming down inflammation, but solid research is lacking. Is often used in lip products to create the needed product consistency
25	disodium edta	Stabilizes the product formulation
26	stearyl alcohol	An emollient that helps soften the skin
27	alaria esculenta extract	Works as a humectant helping to attract water to the upper layer of the skin and might be effective as an anti-oxidant.
28	protease
29	subtilisin
30	glycogen	Helps attract water to the upper layer of the skin
31	magnesium ascorbyl phosphate	A derivative of vitamin C that is more stable, but less bioavailable than the pure form of vitamin C. It does not penetrate the skin well, but has been shown to convert to pure vitamin C once in skin. It can be helpful in stimulating collagen production and lightening the skin tone, but the required concentration is likely to be very high
32	benzyl alcohol	A preservative. Can be used to mask unpleasant smell. Can be irritating
33	hydrolyzed pearl
34	hydrolyzed sesame protein pg-propyl methylsilanediol
35	vp/polycarbamyl polyglycol ester
36	silanetriol
37	dehydroacetic acid	A preservative
38	sodium benzoate	A preservative
39	ci 77891 (titanium dioxide	Works as a UV filter when used in high concentrations. It is photostable and is effective mostly against the UVB light, with some protection in the UVA range. In small concentrations, used for its ability to improve the color of cosmetic products. Is usually well tolerated by the skin
