Pos Ingredient Name Description
1 avne thermal spring water Plain old water
2 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
3 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
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 tribehenin peg-20 esters Helps oil and water mix together
6 sodium polyacrylate Used to create a gel-like product texture, as well as to stabilize emulsions
7 behenyl alcohol Non-drying alcohol that helps water and oil mix together. Also serves as an emollient
8 1,2-hexanediol A preservative
9 ascophyllum nodosum extract Brown seaweed extract. Can help attract water to the upper layer of the skin and might have some antioxidant effect
10 behenic acid Helps water and oil mix together
11 caprylyl glycol Helps preserve products and creates a nice product texture
12 dimethicone crosspolymer Used to create a thicker product texture
13 disodium edta Stabilizes the product formulation
14 mica Creates an illusion of smoother and more radiant skin tone. Adds shimmer to the skin by reflecting light
15 red 33 (ci 17200 A red colorant
16 retinal One step removed from the biologically active in skin form of vitamin A. Once converted to the retinoic acid in the skin, retinal is proven to be effective against all signs of aging. It improves skin cell turnover, helps fight blemishes and clogged pores, can regulate excess oil production and even skin tone. It can, however, be quite irritating
17 sclerotium gum Used to create gel-like formulas and stabilize emulsions
18 silica Used to absorb oil and can temporarily mattify skin
19 sodium hyaluronate One of the best moisturizing ingredients. Attracts water into the upper layer of the skin
20 titantium dioxide (ci 77891 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
21 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.
22 tribehenin Used to create a thicker product consistency and soften the upper layer of the skin
23 water Plain old water
