Pos Ingredient Name Description
1 water\aqua\eau Plain old water
2 dimethicone A silicone that helps to reduce water loss from the surface of the skin. Can temporarily "fill in" lines and wrinkles, absorb oil, and create a nice product finish
3 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
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 trisiloxane A type of silicone. Used to improve product texture
6 trehalose A sugar that attracts water to the upper layer of the skin
7 sucrose Can help attract water to the upper layer of the skin. In crystal form, it can work as a gentle exfoliant, gentler than the salt scrub. Helps stabilize the emulsion
8 ammonium acryloyldimethyltaurate/vp copolymer Increases thickness of a product. Texture enhancer for oil-in-water emulsions
9 hydroxyethyl urea A derivative of urea, a compound that is naturally present in skin. Attracts water to the upper layer of the skin. Can enhance penetration of other ingredients
10 camellia sinensis (green tea) 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
11 silybum marianum (lady's thistle) extract Might be able to help neutralize free radical, calm down inflammation in skin, and even skin tone
12 betula alba (birch) bark extract Has astringent properties. Creates a tightening and drying effect on the skin. Can be irritating
13 saccharomyces lysate extract Helps attract water to the upper layer of the skin. Can have some anti-inflammatory effect
14 aloe barbadensis leaf water Traditionally used to treat sunburns, dermatitis and inflammation, but data on its effectiveness is lacking. While the majority of the content is plain water, it can contain some goodies like vitamins, enzymes, minerals, and humectants that help attract water into the skin
15 thermus thermophillus ferment Might be helpful in neutralising free radicals in skin and have some hydration properties
16 caffeine Might be helpful in neutralizing free radicals. Can have a dehydration effect that might somewhat decrease the look of puffy eyes
17 sorbitol Helps attract water to the upper layer of the skin and improves the product texture
18 palmitoyl hexapeptide-12 A type of peptide. Peptides are excellent moisturizers and might be able support collagen production reducing fine lines and wrinkles
19 sodium hyaluronate One of the best moisturizing ingredients. Attracts water into the upper layer of the skin
20 caprylyl glycol Helps preserve products and creates a nice product texture
21 oleth-10 Helps oil and water mix together
22 sodium polyaspartate Helps attract water to the upper layer of the skin and can help stabilize the product formulation
23 saccharide isomerate Helps attract water to the upper layer of the skin
24 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.
25 tocopheryl acetate A more stable but less bio-available form of vitamin E compared to Tocopherol. Might help moisturize and protect the skin from free radicals, but mostly used in low concentrations to stabilize other ingredients.
26 acrylates/c10-30 alkyl acrylate crosspolymer Maintains the texture of skincare products. Allows the product to spread evenly. Helps oil and water mix together
27 glyceryl polymethacrylate Used to create a nice product texture
28 tromethamine Helps adjust pH in products
29 peg-8 Used to create a nice product consistency
30 hexylene glycol Helps create a more spreadable product texture
31 magnesium ascorbyl phosphate A derivative of vitamin C that is more stable, but less bioavailable than the pure form of vitamin C. It does not penetrate the skin well, but has been shown to convert to pure vitamin C once in skin. It can be helpful in stimulating collagen production and lightening the skin tone, but the required concentration is likely to be very high
32 disodium edta Stabilizes the product formulation
33 bht A preservative
34 phenoxyethanol A preservative. It helps prevent bacterial growth in cosmetic products
35 red 4 (ci 14700 A colorant
36 yellow 5 (ci 19140 A yellow dye
