---|---|---|
1 | water/aqua | 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 | 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 |
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 | cetearyl alcohol | A non-drying alcohol. Works as an emollient. Helps water and oil mix together and creates a nice product texture |
6 | isononynl isononanoate | Forms a protective film on the surface of the skin to prevent moisture loss. Gives a velvety feel to products while reducing tackiness |
7 | simmondsia chinensis (jojoba) seed oil | Softens the upper layer of skin and helps restore the healthy skin barrier. Has shown to help calm down inflammation in skin. It is a stable oil, meaning that it retains its properties even when exposed to air. |
8 | nasturtium officinale (watercress) extract | |
9 | salix alba (willow) bark extract | A plant extract that can help neutralize free radicals in skin. It contains a compound salicin that can theoretically be converted into salicylic acid that, in turn, helps reduce inflammation in skin, but the evidence of effectiveness in skin is lacking. |
10 | 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. |
11 | cetyl alcohol | A non-drying alcohol that works to soften the skin and stabilize product formulations helping oil and water mix together |
12 | cetearyl glucoside | Helps water and oil in the product mix well together and improves product texture |
13 | polyacrylamide | Used to improve product texture and help oil and water mix together |
14 | c13-14 isoparaffin | Helps soften the upper layer of the skin, dissolve other ingredients and create a thicker product consistency |
15 | laureth-7 | Helps oil and water mix together |
16 | spinacia oleracea (spinach) leaf extract | |
17 | sodium hydroxide | Used to adjust the product's pH |
