Pos Ingredient Name Description
1 aqua (water 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 peg-12 dimethicone
4 3-o-ethyl ascorbic acid A vitamin C derivative that is more stable but less potent than pure form of vitamin C. Can help neutralize free radicals and help reduce hyperpigmentation, but the required concentration is likely to be much higher than for the pure form of vitamin C, limiting the ingredient's effectiveness in products
5 phenoxyethanol A preservative. It helps prevent bacterial growth in cosmetic products
6 ppg-26-buteth- 26 Helps oil and water mix together
7 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
8 ammonium acryloyldimethyltaurate/vp copolymer Increases thickness of a product. Texture enhancer for oil-in-water emulsions
9 peg-40 hydrogenated castor oil Helps oil and water mix together
10 dipotassium glycyrrhizate A salt derived from licorice. Works as an emollient to soften the upper layer of the skin and can help calm down inflammation. Might be helpful for skin lightening
11 chlorphenesin A preservative
12 citric acid Can work as an exfoliant but is typically used to adjust the product pH
13 xanthan gum Used to create a thicker product consistency
14 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
15 bisabolol An active component of chamomile plant that historically has been used to calm down irritated skin. A recent study shows that bisabolol indeed can have some anti-inflammatory effect on skin, even though conclusive data is lacking. Bisabolol has a sweet floral scent and can be added to products for its aromatic properties
16 disodium edta Stabilizes the product formulation
17 maltodextrin Used to stabilize the product formulation and can help absorb oil
18 potassium sorbate A preservative
19 sodium benzoate A preservative
