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. |

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. |

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 |
