Does Aveeno actually moisturize your skin for 24 hours?

Does Aveeno actually moisturize your skin for up to 24 hours?
Sodium chloride is one of the many ingredients found in Aveeno Daily Moisturizing Body Yogurt Lotion Apricot & Honey. Sodium chloride (NaCl) also known as salt, is an essential compound our body uses to:
  • absorb and transport nutrients
  • maintain blood pressure
  • maintain the right balance of fluid
  • transmit nerve signals
  • contract and relax muscles


Sodium chloride is found as an ingredient in hygiene products because of its ability to polish teeth, reduce oral odor, shampoos, fragrance, skin, hair, nail, cleansing, suntan, makeup and bath products. 
Isopropyl Paltmitate is also one of the many ingredients found in Aveeno Daily Moisturizing Body Yogurt Lotion Apricot & Honey. Isopropyl Paltmitate (C19H38O2) is a colorless and almost odorless liquid substance made from palm oil and/or animal fats.
Titanium Dioxide (TiO2) is found in Aveeno Daily Moisturizing Body Yogurt Lotion Apricot & Honey. It is a white unreactive solid which occurs naturally as the mineral rutile and is used extensively as a white pigment. It protects skin from UVA and UVB radiation and is considered no risk of skin sensitivity. 
Personal and Environmental Safety

Sodium Chloride could cause nausea and vomiting, and/or swelling your hands, ankles, and feet. Isopropyl Palmitate has been known to cause acne, blackheads, whiteheads and clogged pores if overused. Depending on how much of the ingredient is in the product, the skin may experience some irritation. Lastly, given the size of titanium dioxide particles as well as the electrical charge, exposure to the mineral has been linked to oxidative stress (A disturbance in the balance between the production of reactive oxygen species and antioxidant defenses) and chronic inflammation. An increase in oxidative stress in the body stimulates cellular and DNA damage.

Experimental Procedure

  1. 6pm, Clean face with a wipe.
  2. 6:15pm, Apply Aveeno lotion.
  3. Test moisture after 11 hours.
  4. 5am, Test hydration by looking at skin: Seeing if there's roughness or flaking, cracked skin/lips, cold clammy skin, etc.
  5. Test moisture again after 5 hours.
  6. 10am, use digital skin analyzer.
  7. 6pm, Check moisture by checking for itchy skin, increased sensitivity (redness), dull skin, and fine lines.
  8. 6:30pm, Clean face with OLAY face scrub and use a wipe.
  9. 6:46pm, Moisturize with Clinique.
  10. Repeat steps 1-8 using Clinique products instead.

Shea Moisture Vs. The cheaper option Better or not worth it?

Does Shea Moisture Coconut  hibiscus shampoo clean, moisturize and detangle better than its competitors? Does Shea Moisture shampoo clean, moisturize and detangle better than its competitors?   As a member of the natural hair community we do not use shampoo as much as we use conditioner but when we do use it we want it to clean the hair while also leaving it moisturized. Now not everyones hair likes the same things which is a key factor noted while composing the experiment that followed in response to the title question above. In some ways all hair can react to the ingredients weather it be similar or different good or bad. Shea moistures top ingredients each provide certain benefits for hair Chemical Research                                          ...

Maybelline Fit me! Foundation vs. NYX Matte Foundation

Image
Starting out with this project I didn't really know what to do. I was going between hair products or skin care products. Ultimately, I decided to do an experiment about foundations because my mother and I use two different foundations and come out with different outcomes. My mother uses NYX: Stay Matte But Not Flat foundation while I use Maybelline Fit me! Foundation. The prices aren't that different but Maybelline is cheaper than NYX. Chemistry and Saftey Concerns To start this blog off let's take a look inside of the chemicals that are in the Maybelline Fit me! foundation. Some chemical ingredients that are found in the foundation are cyclohexasiloxane, tocopherol, and isododecane.  First, we have cyclohexasiloxane . Cyclohexasiloxane is a man-made chemical that consists of elements being mixed together with silicone. What cyclohexasiloxane does for this product is that it helps form a protective barrier on the skin and works as a conditioning agent....

Name brand Vs. Beauty supply store foundation

Name brand Vs. Beauty supply store foundation   For most of my teenage and more frugal years I’ve always used drugstore makeup. So when I had a well paying job, I jumped at the chance to buy Fenty Foundation. You know? The makeup line from Rihanna. It was so hyped up by her team, celebrities and common folk. But what makes it more better than my old drugstore brand? I decided to put it to the test and run an experiment to see which foundation would keep my face more matte (less moist) over a period of time. Chemistry Behind Fenty-   The first ingredient in Fenty and in most beauty products is aqua , or for the most part, water. Its main usage is to hydrate the skin and prevent irritation. It's a natural ingredient and has no safety concerns nor environmental safety issues.          The second ingredient that stood out was Dimethicone. This ingredient fills in textures and fine lines create a smooth flawle...
