Pos Ingredient Name Description
1 purified water Plain old water
2 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
3 sodium ascorbyl phosphate A stable derivative of vitamin C. It is oil-soluble which means it is more likely to penetrate the skin compared to the pure form of vitamin C (which is water-soluble), but it is less bio-available and is way less effective in stimulating collagen and reducing wrinkles compared to the pure form of vitamin C (L-ascorbic acid) and its other derivatives (for example, magnesium ascorbyl phosphate). At the same time, this vitamin C derivative has been shown in studies to be effective in reducing acne, blemishes and clogged pores. It is less irritating then the pure form of vitamin C
4 sodium hyaluronate One of the best moisturizing ingredients. Attracts water into the upper layer of the skin
5 hyaluronic acid One of the best moisturizing ingredients. Attracts water into the upper layer of the skin. Naturally present in skin. Typically has large molecule size unless advertised otherwise on the product label. Helps support skin's barrier function and may help to reduce inflammation
6 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
7 microcrystalline cellulose
8 cellulose gum Used to create thicker product consistency and stabilize emulsions
9 alpha-glucan oligosaccharide Helps attract water to the upper layer of the skin
10 polymnia sonchifolia (yacon) root juice
11 maltodextrin Used to stabilize the product formulation and can help absorb oil
12 lactobacillus
13 rosa canina (rosehip) fruit oil A great emollient. Contains vitamin E (tocopherol) which may give it some anti-oxidant properties. Can contain volatile compounds and can be irritating
14 aloe barbadensis (aloe vera) 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
15 allantoin,panthenol
16 provitamin b5 Helps attract water to the upper layer of the skin and can help improve skin barrier function
17 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.
18 vitamin e Pure form of vitamin E. Can help moisturise and protect the skin from free radicals. Often used to help stabilise other ingredients or the formula itself
19 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
20 ethylhexyl palmitate An emollient that helps soften the skin and create a nice product texture
21 xanthan gum Used to create a thicker product consistency
22 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
23 phenoxyethanol A preservative. It helps prevent bacterial growth in cosmetic products
24 ethylhexylglycerin A preservative
25 ,natural The ingredient is not recognized
26 fragrance An aromatic blend of unspecified irritating ingredients
27 oils. The ingredient is not recognized
