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, saccharide isomerate.

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: dimethicone, dimethiconol.

The following ingredients in this product are especially good for supporting the skin barrier and helping with the hydration level: dipeptide-2, palmitoyl oligopeptide, palmitoyl tetrapeptide-7, panthenol

Ingredients by volume

Ingredient	Estimated concentration
water Plain old water	45% - 55%
cyclopentasiloxane A silicone that helps improve the product texture and spreadability. Can absord oil creating a short-term mattifying effect on the skin	6.5% - 7.9%
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	4.2% - 5.2%
butylene glycol Used to create a nice product texture and help delivery of other ingredients. Might be somewhat helpful in attracting water to the upper layer of the skin	3.1% - 3.8%
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	2.5% - 3.1%
ethylene/acrylic acid copolymer	1.9% - 2.3%
steareth-2 Helps oil and water mix together	1.7% - 2.1%
acrylamide/sodium acryloyldimethyltaurate copolymer Helps water and oil mix together and create gel-like textures	1.5% - 1.8%
dimethiconol A silicone that makes products more spreadable and keeps skin smooth. Helps to add gloss to skin and may visually fill in fine lines/wrinkles for short time	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%
saccharide isomerate Helps attract water to the upper layer of the skin	0.7% - 1.05%
glyceryl polymethacrylate Used to create a nice product texture	0.6% - 0.95%
aloe barbadensis leaf juice 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	0.55% - 0.8%
ammonium acryloyldimethyltaurate/vp copolymer Increases thickness of a product. Texture enhancer for oil-in-water emulsions	0.5% - 0.75%
caffeine Might be helpful in neutralizing free radicals. Can have a dehydration effect that might somewhat decrease the look of puffy eyes	0.45% - 0.7%
polysorbate 80 Helps water and oil mix together	0.5% - 0.7%
panthenol Helps attract water to the upper layer of the skin and can help improve skin barrier function	0.45% - 0.65%
oleth-10 Helps oil and water mix together	0.4% - 0.65%
peg-8 Used to create a nice product consistency	0.35% - 0.65%
hesperidin methyl chalcone Might help neutralize free radicals in skin. Is claimed to be able to improve the appearance of undereye darkness but evidence is missing. Can be an allergen and cause irritation	0.3% - 0.55%
sodium hyaluronate One of the best moisturizing ingredients. Attracts water into the upper layer of the skin	0.3% - 0.55%
steareth-20 Helps oil and water mix together	0.4% - 0.65%
phospholipids Emollients that are naturaly present in skin. In addition, they help water and oil mix together in the product	0.25% - 0.5%
pinus pinaster bark extract A plant extract that might help neutralize free radicals and reduce hyperpigmentation, but evidence of effectiveness in skin is lacking	0.3% - 0.55%
calendula officinalis extract A plant extract that might help neutralize free radicals in skin	0.25% - 0.5%
chamomilla recutita flower extract Plant extract that can have healing and anti-inflammatory properties. It is a potential allergen and can be irritating	0.25% - 0.5%
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	0.25% - 0.5%
dipeptide-2 A type of peptide. Peptides are excellent moisturizers and might be able support collagen production reducing fine lines and wrinkles	0.25% - 0.45%
magnesium gluconate A mineral that might be able to support skin hydration, but convincing research on its effectiveness in topical skincare is lacking	0.25% - 0.5%
saccharomyces cerevisiae extract A moisturizing ingredient that works as a humectant to attract water to the upper layer of the skin.	0.25% - 0.45%
triticum vulgare germ extract Plant extract that might have moisturizing properties. Avoid if you suffer from wheat or gluten intolerance	0.3% - 0.5%
zinc gluconate Typically used to stabilize the product formulations. It is a salt of a polyhydroxy acid (PHA) and in larger concentrations, can help shed the dead cells from the skin surface revealing smoother skin. It can help attract water to the upper layer of the skin. Might to be helpful against acne and clogged pores. Could be helpful in neutralizing free radicals, but solid research is missing. Due to the zinc content, might help calm down inflammation in skin	0.25% - 0.45%
tocopheryl acetate A more stable but less bio-available form of vitamin E compared to Tocopherol. Might help moisturize and protect the skin from free radicals, but mostly used in low concentrations to stabilize other ingredients.	0.25% - 0.45%
palmitoyl tetrapeptide-7 A type of peptide. Peptides are excellent moisturizers and might be able support collagen production reducing fine lines and wrinkles	0.25% - 0.5%
trisodium edta Helps preserve product formulations	0.2% - 0.4%
ascorbyl palmitate Being a lipid soluble form of vitamin C, it is more stable and can penetrate the skin better than L-Ascorbic acid. It is effective in protecting the skin from free radicals, as well as evening the skin tone, but is less effective in stimulating collagen production compared to L-Ascorbic acid.	0.2% - 0.35%
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	0.15% - 0.3%
palmitoyl oligopeptide A type of peptide. Peptides are excellent moisturizers and might be able support collagen production reducing fine lines and wrinkles	0.25% - 0.5%
phenoxyethanol A preservative. It helps prevent bacterial growth in cosmetic products	0.15% - 0.3%
chlorphenesin A preservative	0.15% - 0.25%
