ceramide 3	HIGH
honey extract	HIGH

Pos	Ingredient Name	Description
1	honey extract	Helps attract water to the upper layer of the skin
2	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
3	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
4	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
5	helianthus annuus 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
6	betaine	Helps attract water to the upper layer of the skin and improves the product texture
7	cetearyl olivate	Helps oil and water mix together
8	sorbitan olivate	Helps oil and water mix together
9	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
10	1,2-hexanediol	A preservative
11	beeswax	Forms a protective barrier that holds water and keeps dry skin hydrated. Keeps an emulsion from separating into its oil and liquid components, and increases the thickness of a product. Can be an allergen
12	elaeis guineensis oil	Helps soften the upper layer of the skin
13	elaeis guineensis kernel oil	Helps soften the upper layer of the skin
14	hordeum vulgare leaf extract
15	cetearyl alcohol	A non-drying alcohol. Works as an emollient. Helps water and oil mix together and creates a nice product texture
16	"hydroxyethyl acrylate	Helps create a nice product texture and uniform layer on the skin (when used in sunscreens, for example)
17	hydroxyethyl acrylate/sodium acryloyldimethyl taurate, copolymer	A gelling agent that thickens the product consistency and leaves the skin with a velvety finish
18	ethylhexylglycerin	A preservative
19	sodium hyaluronate	One of the best moisturizing ingredients. Attracts water into the upper layer of the skin
20	ceramide 3	A type of lipid similar to ceramides naturally present in skin. Helps to soften the upper layer of the skin and supports the skin barrier function to keep it hydrated. Can help to prevent inflammation in skin
21	xanthan gum	Used to create a thicker product consistency
22	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
