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

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

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

43	capsicum annuum fruit extract	Hot pepper extract. Can irritate the skin
44	cichorium intybus (chicory) leaf extract
45	daucus carota sativa (carrot) root extract
