6	cocos nucifera (coconut) oil	An emollient. Found to be as effective as a moisturizer for dry skin as mineral oil. Could be comedogenic
7	cetearyl alcohol	A non-drying alcohol. Works as an emollient. Helps water and oil mix together and creates a nice product texture
8	phenoxyethanol	A preservative. It helps prevent bacterial growth in cosmetic products
9	panthenol	Helps attract water to the upper layer of the skin and can help improve skin barrier function
10	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
