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 cocos nucifera (coconut) oil An emollient. Found to be as effective as a moisturizer for dry skin as mineral oil. Could be comedogenic
4 cetyl alcohol A non-drying alcohol that works to soften the skin and stabilize product formulations helping oil and water mix together
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 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
7 adansonia digitata oil Baobab oil. Helps soften the upper layer of the skin
8 citrullus lanatus (watermelon) seed oil
9 cucurbita pepo (pumpkin) seed oil
10 buddleja davidii leaf extract
11 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
12 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
13 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
14 simmondsia chinensis (jojoba) butter Helps soften the upper layer of the skin
15 theobroma grandiflorum seed butter Helps soften the upper layer of the skin and might as well help to attract moisture to its upper layer
16 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
17 aniba rosaeodora (rosewood) wood extract
18 artemisia umbelliformis extract
19 camellia sinensis leaf extract Can contain potent anti-oxidant compounds and help protect the skin from free radicals. Can help calm down inflammation and has some anti-bacterial properties
20 citrus aurantium bergamia (bergamot) fruit extract
21 citrus aurantium dulcis (orange) fruit extract A plant extract that is used as a fragrance. Can be irritating and lead to photosensitivity
22 citrus medica limonum (lemon) fruit extract Used as a fragrance. Can be irritating and cause photosensitivity
23 coriandrum sativum (coriander) fruit/leaf extract
24 jasminum officinale (jasmine) flower/leaf extract Used as a fragrance
25 lavandula angustifolia (lavender) flower/leaf/stem extract
26 cupressus sempervirens leaf/stem extract
27 fucus vesiculosus extract
28 peucedanum ostruthium leaf extract
29 saccharum officinarum (sugar caner) extract Sugar extract that helps attract water to the upper layer of the skin
30 prunus persica (peach) fruit extract
31 rose extract Used as a fragrance. Can be irritating
32 rosmarinus officinalis (rosemary) leaf extract Can be helpful in reducing inflammation in skin. Is a likely irritant
33 vaccinium myrtillus fruit extract A plant extract that might help neutralize free radicals in skin, but research on its efficacy in skin is lacking
34 vanilla planifolia fruit extract A plant extract used as a fragrance. Can be irritating
35 acer saccharum (sugar maple) extract Helps attract water to the upper layer of the skin
36 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
37 acacia decurrens/jojoba/sunflower seed cera (cire) polyglyceryl-3 esters
38 saccharomyces ferment A product of yeast fermentation. Helps attract water to the upper layer of the skin
39 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
40 citric acid Can work as an exfoliant but is typically used to adjust the product pH
41 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)
42 xanthan gum Used to create a thicker product consistency
43 sucrose stearate Helps water and oil mix together
44 sucrose polystearate Helps oil and water mix together
45 stearic acid Helps oil and water mix together and works as an emollient
46 glyceryl stearate citrate Helps oil and water mix together while softening the upper layer of the skin
47 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
48 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
49 glyceryl caprylate An emollient that can also help water and oil mix together, as well as prevent bacteria growth in products
50 glycine soja (soybean) oil A good emollient that helps soften the skin and helps repair its barrier function
51 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
52 potassium sorbate A preservative
53 phenoxyethanol A preservative. It helps prevent bacterial growth in cosmetic products
54 sodium anisate Used as a fragrance
55 sodium benzoate A preservative
56 sodium levulinate A preservative
57 sodium stearoyl lactylate Helps oil and water mix together
