1 | water | Plain old water |
2 | gluconolactone | A polyhydroxy acid (PHA) that helps shed the dead cells from the skin surface revealing smoother skin. Is believed to be genter than AHAs. It helps attract water to the upper layer of the skin and can stimulate production of skin's own hyaluronic acid resulting inimporved hydration levels. It has been shown to be helpful against acne and clogged pores. Might help reduce fine lines and wrinkles and improve skin tone with long-term application. Can help neutralize free radicals |
3 | 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) |
4 | 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 |
5 | sodium hydroxide | Used to adjust the product's pH |
6 | propanediol | Acts as a solvent for other ingredients. Speeds up the absorption of other ingredients into the skin |
7 | polyacrylate crosspolymer-6 | |
8 | dipropylene glycol | Helps to dissolve other ingredients in a formulation. Slows down the rate of product drying |
9 | boswellia serrata gum | |
10 | 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 |
11 | anthocyanin | |
12 | ipomoea batatas root extract | |
13 | maltodextrin | Used to stabilize the product formulation and can help absorb oil |
