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 methylpropanediol Helps dissolve other ingredients in a formulation
4 glycereth-26 Helps create a thicker product consistency
5 1,2-hexanediol A preservative
6 betaine Helps attract water to the upper layer of the skin and improves the product texture
7 trehalose A sugar that attracts water to the upper layer of the skin
8 panthenol Helps attract water to the upper layer of the skin and can help improve skin barrier function
9 carbomer Helps create a gel-like product texture. Can be used in gentle cleansing formulations
10 butylene glycol Used to create a nice product texture and help delivery of other ingredients. Might be somewhat helpful in attracting water to the upper layer of the skin
11 tromethamine Helps adjust pH in products
12 dipropylene glycol Helps to dissolve other ingredients in a formulation. Slows down the rate of product drying
13 cellulose gum Used to create thicker product consistency and stabilize emulsions
14 eclipta prostrata leaf extract
15 laminaria japonica extract Seaweed extract that might help to attract water to the upper layer of the skin and have some anti-oxidant properties
16 glyceryl polymethacrylate Used to create a nice product texture
17 ethylhexylglycerin A preservative
18 melia azadirachta flower extract A plant extract that might be helpful to neutralize free radicals in skin
19 disodium edta Stabilizes the product formulation
20 hydrogenated lecithin Helps to retain moisture by creating a protective barrier on the skin. Rich in fatty acids. Improves product texture and helps with the penetration of other ingredients.
21 fructooligosaccharides Help attract water to the upper layer of the skin
22 melia azadirachta leaf extract A plant extract that has anti-bacterial properties. Can be used to preserve the product. Can be irritating
23 centella asiatica extract A plant extract that has been shown to be able to reduce inflammation in skin, support restoration of skin barrier function, as well as support collagen production. Contains active compounds called centelloids: asiaticoside, madecasosside, asiatic acid and madecassic acid. Might be helpful in preventing stretch marks. It can be itself be irritating though.
24 ficus carica (fig) fruit extract A plant extract that can help neutralize free radicals. The concentrations typically used in cosmetics are too small to have an effect
25 curcuma longa (turmeric) root extract A plant extract that can contain an active compound curcumin, that may have some anti-inflammatory properties when applied to the skin, but solid research is lacking and the typical concentration used in skincare products is too low. Can be an irritant
26 ocimum sanctum leaf extract A plant extract that is rich in a fragrance compound eugenol that is a frequent allergen and can be irritating. It might also contain anti-oxidants to help neutralize free radicals
27 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
28 beta-glucan Helps attract water to the upper layer of the skin, calm down inflammation and irritation, restore the barrier function and support wound healing. It can be helpful in reducing fine lines and wrinkles
29 lecithin Used mostly for creating emulsions - helping oil and water mix together. Helps soften the upper layer of the skin
30 sodium hyaluronate One of the best moisturizing ingredients. Attracts water into the upper layer of the skin
31 hydrolyzed hyaluronic acid One of the best moisturizing ingredients. Attracts water into the upper layer of the skin. A version of it is naturally present in skin
32 ceramide np A type of lipid similar to ceramides naturally present in skin. Helps to soften the upper layer of the skin and supports the skin barrier function to keep it hydrated. Can help to prevent inflammation in skin
33 corallina officinalis extract Red algae extract that helps attract water to the upper layer of the skin and might contain antioxidants
34 ascorbic acid One of the few well researched potent anti-aging ingredients. When it is able to penetrate the skin in an active state, it is effective against fine lines and wrinkles, helps improve skin elasticity and reduce hyperpigmentation. It acts as a powerful anti-oxidant and stimulates collagen production. The main issue with ascorbic acid is that it is highly unstable, in other words, it is losing its effectivenss quickly when exposed to air and light (if a serum or cream containing ascorbic acid has an orange color, it is a likely that the ingredient has oxidized and is no longer active). In addition, it is water-soluble, meaning that it has difficulty pentrating the skin. It is also quite irritating, and can cause stinging. When used in low concentrations, helps stabilize the product formulation
35 polysorbate 20 Helps oil and water mix together
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 palmitoyl pentapeptide-4 A type of peptide. Peptides are excellent moisturizers and might be able support collagen production reducing fine lines and wrinkles
38 potassium sorbate A preservative
39 sodium benzoate A preservative
40 brassica oleracea capitata (cabbage) leaf extract Plant extract that might help calm down inflammation and have some anti-oxidant properties
41 brassica oleracea italica (broccoli) extract Might have some anti-inflammatory properties but research is lacking

44 cichorium intybus (chicory) leaf extract
45 daucus carota sativa (carrot) root extract
