1 | snail secretion filtrate | Typically contains hyaluronic acid that helps attract water to the upper layer of the skin. Might contain allantoin that is helpful in calming down inflammation. There is no evidence that it can have any further benefits for the skin, especially when used in skincare products |
2 | betaine | Helps attract water to the upper layer of the skin and improves the product texture |
3 | caprylic/capric triglyceride | A good mix of fatty acids that forms a protective layer on the skin. Improves the shelf life of products. Derived from coconut and glycerin |
4 | cetearyl olivate | Helps oil and water mix together |
5 | sorbitan olivate | Helps oil and water mix together |
6 | sodium hyaluronate | One of the best moisturizing ingredients. Attracts water into the upper layer of the skin |
7 | cetearyl alcohol | A non-drying alcohol. Works as an emollient. Helps water and oil mix together and creates a nice product texture |
8 | stearic acid | Helps oil and water mix together and works as an emollient |
9 | arginine | An amino acid that is naturally present in skin and helps keep it hydrated. When used together with AHAs, it can reduce their irritating effect on the skin |
10 | 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 |
11 | carbomer | Helps create a gel-like product texture. Can be used in gentle cleansing formulations |
12 | panthenol | Helps attract water to the upper layer of the skin and can help improve skin barrier function |
13 | allantoin | Helps calm down inflammation in skin and can help reduce itching. Helps to repair the skin barrier and keep skin hydrated |
14 | sodium polyacrylate | Used to create a gel-like product texture, as well as to stabilize emulsions |
15 | xanthan gum | Used to create a thicker product consistency |
16 | ethyl hexanediol | Used to dissolve other ingredients. Might be irritating |
17 | adenosine | Might help improve cell turnover and reduce inflammation in skin. One study shows that the ingredients might be able to stimulate collagen production in skin |
18 | phenoxyethanol | A preservative. It helps prevent bacterial growth in cosmetic products |
