Pos Ingredient Name Description
1 aqua Plain old water
2 hamamelis virginiana (witch hazel) water A plant extract that can help calm down inflammation in skin. Can, however, itself be irritating
3 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.
4 sodium lactate Helps attract water to the upper layer of the skin. Is often used to adjust the pH level of the product
5 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
6 galactoarabinan Helps attract water to the upper layer of the skin
7 sodium pca Naturally present in skin and helps to attract water to its upper layer
8 phospholipids Emollients that are naturaly present in skin. In addition, they help water and oil mix together in the product
9 ethylhexylglycerin A preservative
10 xanthan gum Used to create a thicker product consistency
11 glycosaminoglycans Long sugars that help attract water to the upper layer of the skin
12 leuconostoc/radish root ferment filtrate A preservative that comes from radishes fermented by a bacteria. New research suggests that the preservation properties in the ingredient come from an ammonium salt that is not present naturally in radish root but used in its cultivation. Is problematic because the exact amount of the preservative agents is difficult to determine
13 retinol Two steps removed from the active form of vitamin A - retinoic acid. Once converted to the retinoic acid in the skin, retinol is proven to be effective against all signs of aging. It improves skin cell turnover, helps fight blemishes and clogged pores, can regulate excess oil production and even skin tone. It can, however, be quite irritating
14 retinal One step removed from the biologically active in skin form of vitamin A. Once converted to the retinoic acid in the skin, retinal is proven to be effective against all signs of aging. It improves skin cell turnover, helps fight blemishes and clogged pores, can regulate excess oil production and even skin tone. It can, however, be quite irritating
15 tetrasodium edta Helps to stabilize the product formulation
16 proline
17 sodium hyaluronate One of the best moisturizing ingredients. Attracts water into the upper layer of the skin
18 sodium hydroxymethylglycinate A preservative. Can be irritating
19 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.
20 aniba rosaeodora (rosewood) wood oil
21 lavandula angustifolia (lavender) oil An essential oil. Potential allergen and can be irritating. It has some anti-bacterial properties
22 helianthus annuus (sunflower) seed oil A great emollient due to its high linoleic acid content. One of the most effective plant oils in helping skin hydration and repairing skin barrier function
23 cassia angustifolia seed polysaccharide
24 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
25 sorbitol Helps attract water to the upper layer of the skin and improves the product texture
26 polysorbate 20 Helps oil and water mix together
27 potassium sorbate A preservative
