Pos Ingredient Name Description
1 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 cetyl alcohol A non-drying alcohol that works to soften the skin and stabilize product formulations helping oil and water mix together
4 cocos nucifera (coconut) oil An emollient. Found to be as effective as a moisturizer for dry skin as mineral oil. Could be comedogenic
5 helianthus annuus (sunflower) seed oil A great emollient due to its high linoleic acid content. One of the most effective plant oils in helping skin hydration and repairing skin barrier function
6 adansonia digitata oil Baobab oil. Helps soften the upper layer of the skin
7 caprylic/capric triglyceride A good mix of fatty acids that forms a protective layer on the skin. Improves the shelf life of products. Derived from coconut and glycerin
8 fragrance An aromatic blend of unspecified irritating ingredients
9 lavandula angustifolia (lavender) flower extract Essential oil that can be irritating
10 honey Helps attract water to the skin and might have some anti-bacterial properties. Can be an allergen
11 butyrospermum parkii (shea) butter A great moisturising ingredient that softens the skin and reduces water loss from its upper layer. It also can be helpful in protecting skin from free radicals
12 simmondsia chinensis (jojoba) butter Helps soften the upper layer of the skin
13 theobroma grandiflorum seed butter Helps soften the upper layer of the skin and might as well help to attract moisture to its upper layer
14 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
15 ricinus communis (castor) seed oil A plant oil that can help soften the skin. It might be helpful in calming down inflammation, but solid research is lacking. Is often used in lip products to create the needed product consistency
16 citrullus lanatus (watermelon) seed oil
17 cucurbita pepo (pumpkin) seed oil
18 acacia decurrens flower wax Used as a fragrance. Can be irritating
19 helianthus annuus (sunflower) seed wax Helps soften the upper layer of the skin and support skin's barrier function while creating a thicker product consistency
20 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
21 jojoba esters An emollient made of jojoba oil. Helps soften the skin and support its barrier function
22 hydrogenated castor oil A plant oil that can help soften the skin. It might be helpful in calming down inflammation, but solid research is lacking. Is often used in lip products to create the needed product consistency
23 glycine soja (soybean) oil A good emollient that helps soften the skin and helps repair its barrier function
24 polyglycerin-3 Helps to attract water to the upper layer of the skin
25 biosaccharide gum-1 Helps attract water to the upper layer of the skin and is claimed to provide a longer-lasting hydration because of its ability to create a water-binding film on the surface of the skin
26 glyceryl caprylate An emollient that can also help water and oil mix together, as well as prevent bacteria growth in products
27 sodium anisate Used as a fragrance
28 sodium levulinate A preservative
29 glyceryl stearate citrate Helps oil and water mix together while softening the upper layer of the skin
30 stearic acid Helps oil and water mix together and works as an emollient
31 sucrose stearate Helps water and oil mix together
32 sodium stearoyl lactylate Helps oil and water mix together
33 magnesium aluminum silicate Might be helpful in restoring skin barrier function and, when combined with zinc carbonate and malonic acid, reducing fine lines and wrinkles by stimulating elastin production. Also helps stabilize the product formulation
34 sucrose polystearate Helps oil and water mix together
35 xanthan gum Used to create a thicker product consistency
36 arginine An amino acid that is naturally present in skin and helps keep it hydrated. When used together with AHAs, it can reduce their irritating effect on the skin
37 lactic acid An exfoliating and moisturizing alpha-hydroxy acid (AHA). Typically causes less irritation than other AHAs, for example, glycolic acid. At high concentrations (about 15%), lactic acid can help reduce lines and wrinkles. Recent studies show that lactic acid can support the "good" bacteria living on skin's surface (healthy skin microbiom)
38 phenoxyethanol A preservative. It helps prevent bacterial growth in cosmetic products
39 citronellol A fragrance. Can be irritating
40 coumarin A fragrance. Is a likely skin allergen and can be irritating
41 geraniol A fragrance. Can be irritating
42 limonene A common frangrance that can easily irritate skin, especially if exposed to air, light or heat
43 linalool A fragrance. Can be irritating
