Pos Ingredient Name Description
1 aloe barbadensis leaf water Traditionally used to treat sunburns, dermatitis and inflammation, but data on its effectiveness is lacking. While the majority of the content is plain water, it can contain some goodies like vitamins, enzymes, minerals, and humectants that help attract water into the skin
2 aqua Plain old water
3 urea Naturally present in skin. Attracts water to the upper layer of the skin. Can enhance penetration of other ingredients. Is an exfoliating ingredient when used in high concentrations
4 ricinus communis seed oil A plant oil that can help soften the skin. It might be helpful in calming down inflammation, but solid research is lacking. Is often used in lip products to create the needed product consistency
5 cucumis sativus fruit water
6 cetearyl alcohol A non-drying alcohol. Works as an emollient. Helps water and oil mix together and creates a nice product texture
7 glyceryl stearate citrate Helps oil and water mix together while softening the upper layer of the skin
8 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
9 prunus amygdalus dulcis oil An emollient that softens the skin
10 rhus verniciflua peel cera
11 rhus succedanea fruit cera
12 eucalyptus globulus leaf oil An essential oil that can be very irritating. Has some anti-bacterial properties
13 menthol
14 sesamum indicum seed oil A good moisturizing plant oil. Due to the high linoleic acid content, it helps soften the upper layer of the skin, reduce water loss and support skin barrier function
15 sodium pca Naturally present in skin and helps to attract water to its upper layer
16 lactic acid An exfoliating and moisturizing alpha-hydroxy acid (AHA). Typically causes less irritation than other AHAs, for example, glycolic acid. At high concentrations (about 15%), lactic acid can help reduce lines and wrinkles. Recent studies show that lactic acid can support the "good" bacteria living on skin's surface (healthy skin microbiom)
17 panthenol Helps attract water to the upper layer of the skin and can help improve skin barrier function
18 carbomer Helps create a gel-like product texture. Can be used in gentle cleansing formulations
19 sodium caproyl/lauroyl lactylate
20 caprylyl glycol Helps preserve products and creates a nice product texture
21 sodium levulinate A preservative
22 sodium hydroxide Used to adjust the product's pH
23 glyceryl caprylate An emollient that can also help water and oil mix together, as well as prevent bacteria growth in products
24 potassium sorbate A preservative
25 ascorbyl palmitate Being a lipid soluble form of vitamin C, it is more stable and can penetrate the skin better than L-Ascorbic acid. It is effective in protecting the skin from free radicals, as well as evening the skin tone, but is less effective in stimulating collagen production compared to L-Ascorbic acid.
26 tocopherol 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
27 citric acid Can work as an exfoliant but is typically used to adjust the product pH
28 sodium benzoate A preservative
29 pantolactone Helps attract water to the upper layer of the skin
30 parfum An aromatic blend of unspecified irritating ingredients
31 limonene A common frangrance that can easily irritate skin, especially if exposed to air, light or heat
