Pos Ingredient Name Description
1 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
2 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
3 olea europaea (olive) fruit oil An emollient that helps soften the skin but is not effective for restoring its barrier function. Might be helpful to calm down inflammation
4 oryza sativa (rice) bran oil Helps soften the upper layer of the skin and might have some anti-oxidant properties
5 hydrogenated polyisobutene Used to improve the product consistency and soften the upper layer of the skin
6 sesamum indicum (sesame) seed oil A good moisturizing plant oil. Due to the high linoleic acid content, it helps soften the upper layer of the skin, reduce water loss and support skin barrier function
7 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
8 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.
9 phenoxyethanol A preservative. It helps prevent bacterial growth in cosmetic products
10 oryza sativa (rice) bran extract Used to thicken the product consistency
11 sodium surfactin
12 triethyl citrate
13 tocopherol Pure form of vitamin E. Can help moisturise and protect the skin from free radicals. Often used to help stabilise other ingredients or the formula itself
14 helianthus annuus (sunflower) extract
15 tetrahexyldecyl ascorbate Being a lipid soluble form of vitamin C, it is more stable. It is claimed to penetrate skin better than pure vitamin C and have the the similar benefits, but solid studies of its effectiveness are lacking. Is likely to require a higher concentration in a product than pure vitamin C to be effective.
16 squalene An oil that is naturally part of skin sebum that helps to soften its upper layer, reduce water loss and neutralize free radicals. It might be comedogenic. Avoid applying large concentrations (or pure oil) before sun exposure as oxidized squalene can clog pores and lead to skin irritation. Today squalene is mostly derived from vegetable oils or synthetized by yeast
17 rosmarinus officinalis (rosemary) leaf extract Can be helpful in reducing inflammation in skin. Is a likely irritant
18 lavandula angustifolia (lavender) flower/leaf/stem extract
19 linalool A fragrance. Can be irritating
20 cocos nucifera (coconut) oil An emollient. Found to be as effective as a moisturizer for dry skin as mineral oil. Could be comedogenic
21 medicago sativa (alfalfa) extract
22 camellia sinensis (green tea) leaf extract Can contain potent anti-oxidant compounds and help protect the skin from free radicals. Can help calm down inflammation and has some anti-bacterial properties
23 elettaria cardamomum seed extract
24 pyrus malus (apple) fruit extract Can have some moisturizing properties due to its sugar content
25 rubus idaeus (raspberry) fruit extract A plant extract that might help neutralize free radicals in skin, bu research on its effectiveness is lacking
26 hydroxycitronellal A fragrance. A likely allergen and can be irritating
27 amyl cinnamal
28 cananga odorata flower extract Used as a fragrance. Can be irritating
29 citrus aurantium amara (bitter orange) flower extract
30 citrus aurantium bergamia (bergamot) fruit extract
31 coffea arabica (coffee) seed extract Might be helpful in neutralizing free radicals in skin
32 , cucumis The ingredient is not recognized
33 mel Helps to soften the upper layer of the skin and attract water to it
34 o (melon). The ingredient is not recognized
