Pos Ingredient Name Description
1 ingredients: The ingredient is not recognized
2 water\aqua\eau Plain old water
3 cyclopentasiloxane A silicone that helps improve the product texture and spreadability. Can absord oil creating a short-term mattifying effect on 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 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
6 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
7 cetyl ethylhexanoate An emollient that helps soften the skin and creates a thicker product texture
8 squalane An oil naturally present in skin. Works as an emollient to soften the skin and form a protective layer on its surface without a greasy feeling.
9 disteardimonium hectorite A type of clay that is used to thicken the product consistency
10 peg/ppg-18/18 dimethicone A silicone that mixes with water creating nice light-weight product texture
11 lauryl peg-9 polydimethylsiloxyethyl dimethicone A type of silicone that helps to soften upper layer of the skin and create a nice product texture
12 ahnfeltia concinna extract An algae extract that helps attract water to the upper layer of the skin. Also used to create a thicker product texture
13 olea europaea (olive) fruit extract An emollient that helps soften the skin but is not effective for restoring its barrier function. Might be helpful to calm down inflammation
14 caffeine Might be helpful in neutralizing free radicals. Can have a dehydration effect that might somewhat decrease the look of puffy eyes
15 whey protein\lactis protein\protine du petit-lait A protein derived from milk. In skincare products, might help to soften the upper layer of the skin
16 cholesterol An emollient that is naturally found in skin
17 sodium hyaluronate One of the best moisturizing ingredients. Attracts water into the upper layer of the skin
18 petrolatum One of the most effective and the most studied occlusive ingredients that creates a protective layer on top of the skin preventing moisture loss
19 peg-150
20 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
21 pyridoxine dipalmitate
22 linoleic acid An excellent emollient. Helps soften the skin, restore its barrier function, and can help to calm down inflammation. It can be helpful to prevent blemishes and clogged pores
23 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.
24 citric acid Can work as an exfoliant but is typically used to adjust the product pH
25 polysilicone-11 A silicone that forms a light film on the skin surface helping to bind water and temporarily absorb oils creating a matt and powdery feel
26 propylene carbonate Is used to dissolve other ingredients and create nice product texture
27 glyceryl polymethacrylate Used to create a nice product texture
28 peg-8 Used to create a nice product consistency
29 aloe barbadensis leaf extract Traditionally used to treat sunburns, dermatitis and inflammation, but evidence for its effectiveness is lacking. The extract can contain humectants that help attract water into the skin
30 triticum vulgare (wheat) bran extract
31 pentaerythrityl tetra-di-t-butyl hydroxyhydrocinnamate Used to increase stability of product formulations
32 palmitoyl hexapeptide-12 A type of peptide. Peptides are excellent moisturizers and might be able support collagen production reducing fine lines and wrinkles
33 sodium citrate Helps to control the skin's pH level. Maintains the skin's natural film of amino-lactic acids and oils. Helps to preserve products
34 sodium hexametaphosphate
35 chlorphenesin A preservative
36 phenoxyethanol A preservative. It helps prevent bacterial growth in cosmetic products
