Pos Ingredient Name Description
1 water\aqua\eau Plain old water
2 ethylhexyl palmitate An emollient that helps soften the skin and create a nice product texture
3 squalane An oil naturally present in skin. Works as an emollient to soften the skin and form a protective layer on its surface without a greasy feeling.
4 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
5 cetyl alcohol A non-drying alcohol that works to soften the skin and stabilize product formulations helping oil and water mix together
6 glyceryl stearate An emollient that softens the skin and forms a protective layer on its surface. Helps water and oil mix together
7 hydrogenated vegetable oil An oil from a mixture of different vegetables. Helps soften the upper layer of the skin
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 persea gratissima (avocado) oil An emollient that helps soften the skin and could be helpful in repairing its barrier function
10 hamamelis virginiana (witch hazel) extract A plant extract that can help calm down inflammation in skin. Can, however, itself be irritating
11 aloe barbadensis leaf juice Traditionally used to treat sunburns, dermatitis and inflammation, but evidence for its effectiveness is lacking. The extract can contain humectants that help attract water into the skin
12 cholesterol An emollient that is naturally found in skin
13 peg-100 stearate Helps oil and water mix togehter and creates a nice product texture
14 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
15 sodium pca Naturally present in skin and helps to attract water to its upper layer
16 trehalose A sugar that attracts water to the upper layer of the skin
17 ascorbyl palmitate Being a lipid soluble form of vitamin C, it is more stable and can penetrate the skin better than L-Ascorbic acid. It is effective in protecting the skin from free radicals, as well as evening the skin tone, but is less effective in stimulating collagen production compared to L-Ascorbic acid.
18 ethylhexylglycerin A preservative
19 hydroxyproline Is helpful in restoring skin barrier function supporting its moisture levels. Is claimed to stimulte collagen production in skin but evidence is lacking
20 proline
21 acrylates copolymer Used to stabilize product formulation, help create an even product layer over skin (for example, in sunscreen) and create a thicker product consistency
22 phytantriol
23 glycine Helps to attract water to the upper layer of the skin and can help restore the skin barrier function
24 linoleic acid An excellent emollient. Helps soften the skin, restore its barrier function, and can help to calm down inflammation. It can be helpful to prevent blemishes and clogged pores
25 phytosphingosine A type of lipid that is naturally present in skin. It might help in repairing skin barrier function and has anti-bacterial effect
26 sodium hydroxide Used to adjust the product's pH
27 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.
28 sodium hyaluronate One of the best moisturizing ingredients. Attracts water into the upper layer of the skin
29 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
