Pos | Ingredient Name | Description |
---|---|---|
1 | aqua | Plain old water |
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 | isohexadecane | Improves the texture of the product and helps soften the skin. Helps oil and water mix together and can be used as a cleansing agent |
4 | dicaprylyl carbonate | Helps products spread more easily and works as an emollient to soften skin |
5 | 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 |
6 | bis-vinyl dimethicone/dimethicone copolymer | |
7 | ppg-12/smdi copolymer | Used to create a nice product finish |
8 | dimethicone/peg-10/15 crosspolymer | Helps oil and water mix together |
9 | peg-32 methyl ether dimethicone | |
10 | sodium chloride | Used to stabilize mixtures of oil and water, and create thicker, gel-like product textures |
11 | albizia julibrissin bark extract | A plant extract that might help to neutralize free radicals in skin. Is claimed to help reduce hyperpigmentation but evidence is missing |
12 | phenoxyethanol | A preservative. It helps prevent bacterial growth in cosmetic products |
13 | caprylyl glycol | Helps preserve products and creates a nice product texture |
14 | cera alba | Forms a protective barrier that holds water and keeps dry skin hydrated. Keeps an emulsion from separating into its oil and liquid components, and increases the thickness of a product. Can be an allergen |
15 | beeswax | Forms a protective barrier that holds water and keeps dry skin hydrated. Keeps an emulsion from separating into its oil and liquid components, and increases the thickness of a product. Can be an allergen |
16 | polyglyceryl-4 isostearate | Helps water and oil mix together |
17 | cetyl peg/ppg-10/1 dimethicone | A type of silicone that helps water and oil mix together. Can help to soften upper layer of the skin |
18 | hexyl laurate | Helps soften the upper layer of the skin and create a nice product consistency |
19 | silica | Used to absorb oil and can temporarily mattify skin |
20 | isoceteth-10 | |
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 | tetrahexadecyl 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. |
23 | dipropylene glycol | Helps to dissolve other ingredients in a formulation. Slows down the rate of product drying |
24 | sodium hyaluronate | One of the best moisturizing ingredients. Attracts water into the upper layer of the skin |
25 | glycyrrhiza glabra (licorice) root extract | A plant extract that can help lighten the skin and calm down inflammation. Might be helpful in neutralizing free radicals |
26 | sodium citrate | Helps to control the skin's pH level. Maintains the skin's natural film of amino-lactic acids and oils. Helps to preserve products |
27 | sodium benzoate | A preservative |
28 | palmitoyl tripeptide-5 | A type of peptide. Peptides are excellent moisturizers and might be able support collagen production reducing fine lines and wrinkles |
29 | palmitoyl dipeptide-5 diaminobutyroyl hydroxythreonine | |
30 | tetradecyl aminobutyroylvalylaminobutyric urea trifluoroacetate | A peptide. It helps attract water to the upper layer of the skin, support skin's barrier function and might have some slight anti-aging effect through stimulating skin's own production of hyaluronic acid |
31 | magnesium chloride | |
32 | darutoside | |
33 | potassium sorbate | A preservative |
34 | 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 |
35 | montmorillonite | A clay mineral. Can absorb oil from the surface of the skin |
36 | illite | |
37 | montmorillonite | A clay mineral. Can absorb oil from the surface of the skin |
38 | kaolin | A type of clay that consists mainly of aluminum silicate. Helps absorb oil and creates a thicker product consistency. Can be used to add a white color |
