Pos Ingredient Name Description
1 aqua (water Plain old water
2 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
3 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
4 isostearyl alcohol
5 cetearyl ethylhexanoate An emollient that helps soften the skin
6 dicaprylyl ether Helps soften the upper layer of the skin while creating a non-greasy feel on the skin. Helps to dissolve other ingredients
7 glyceryl stearate citrate Helps oil and water mix together while softening the upper layer of the skin
8 sesamum indicum (sesame) 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
9 cetearyl alcohol A non-drying alcohol. Works as an emollient. Helps water and oil mix together and creates a nice product texture
10 rubus idaeus leaf cell culture
11 boswellia serrata gum
12 fagus sylvatica bud extract
13 lactis proteinum
14 whey protein A protein derived from milk. In skincare products, might help to soften the upper layer of the skin
15 bacillus ferment
16 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
17 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.
18 ascorbic acid One of the few well researched potent anti-aging ingredients. When it is able to penetrate the skin in an active state, it is effective against fine lines and wrinkles, helps improve skin elasticity and reduce hyperpigmentation. It acts as a powerful anti-oxidant and stimulates collagen production. The main issue with ascorbic acid is that it is highly unstable, in other words, it is losing its effectivenss quickly when exposed to air and light (if a serum or cream containing ascorbic acid has an orange color, it is a likely that the ingredient has oxidized and is no longer active). In addition, it is water-soluble, meaning that it has difficulty pentrating the skin. It is also quite irritating, and can cause stinging. When used in low concentrations, helps stabilize the product formulation
19 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
20 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
21 lactose
22 ethylhexylglycerin A preservative
23 sodium polyacrylate Used to create a gel-like product texture, as well as to stabilize emulsions
24 xanthan gum Used to create a thicker product consistency
25 pentadecalactone
26 benzyl alcohol A preservative. Can be used to mask unpleasant smell. Can be irritating
27 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)
28 propylene glycol Helps oil and water mix together and can enhance the penetration of other ingredients into the skin
29 peg-8 Used to create a nice product consistency
30 benzoic acid A preservative
31 citric acid Can work as an exfoliant but is typically used to adjust the product pH
32 potassium sorbate A preservative
33 sodium hydroxide Used to adjust the product's pH
34 phenoxyethanol A preservative. It helps prevent bacterial growth in cosmetic products
35 chlorphenesin A preservative
36 disodium edta Stabilizes the product formulation
