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 |
