Pos Ingredient Name Description
1 prunus amygdalus dulcis oil An emollient that softens the skin
2 aqua Plain old water
3 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
4 polyglyceryl-3 oleate
5 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
6 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
7 sine adipe lac
8 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
9 lonicera japonica flower extract A plant extract that might help neutralize free radicals in skin. Can contain volalite oils and be irritating
10 lonicera caprifolium flower extract A plant extract that might help neutralize free radicals in skin. Can contain volalite oils and be irritating
11 glycine soja oil A good emollient that helps soften the skin and helps repair its barrier function
12 lecithin Used mostly for creating emulsions - helping oil and water mix together. Helps soften the upper layer of the skin
13 citric acid Can work as an exfoliant but is typically used to adjust the product pH
14 carrageenan Helps thicken the product formula and create a nice product formulation
15 sucrose Can help attract water to the upper layer of the skin. In crystal form, it can work as a gentle exfoliant, gentler than the salt scrub. Helps stabilize the emulsion
16 alcohol Can be drying and contribute to skin irritation. Used in formulars to dissolve other ingredients, create a thinner product consistency or for its antibacterial properties
17 stearic acid Helps oil and water mix together and works as an emollient
18 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.
19 glyceryl oleate Helps oil and water mix together. Can be irritating
20 glyceryl stearate An emollient that softens the skin and forms a protective layer on its surface. Helps water and oil mix together
21 potassium sorbate A preservative
22 sodium benzoate A preservative
23 sodium phytate Used to stabilize product formulations
24 parfum An aromatic blend of unspecified irritating ingredients
25 phenoxyethanol A preservative. It helps prevent bacterial growth in cosmetic products
26 eugenol A fragrance. Is a likely irritant
27 linalool A fragrance. Can be irritating
