Pos Ingredient Name Description
1 water (aqua Plain old water
2 glycolic acid An alpha-hydroxy acid (AHA) that helps to remove the dead skin cells on the surface of the skin reveling a more even, smoother complexation. It is also able to stimulate collagen production with long-term use. Could help to reduce pore congestion. It can be irritating to the skin. Apply sunscreen daily if using products with glycolic acid
3 sodium hydroxide Used to adjust the product's pH
4 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
5 mineral oil One of the most effective and well studied occlusive and emollient moisturizing ingredients. Helps reduce moisture loss in skin and repair skin barrier function
6 cetyl alcohol A non-drying alcohol that works to soften the skin and stabilize product formulations helping oil and water mix together
7 stearic acid Helps oil and water mix together and works as an emollient
8 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)
9 glyceryl stearate An emollient that softens the skin and forms a protective layer on its surface. Helps water and oil mix together
10 peg-100 stearate Helps oil and water mix togehter and creates a nice product texture
11 squalane An oil naturally present in skin. Works as an emollient to soften the skin and form a protective layer on its surface without a greasy feeling.
12 polyacrylamide Used to improve product texture and help oil and water mix together
13 prunus amygdalus dulcis (sweet almond) oil Helps soften the upper layer of the skin
14 persea gratissima (avocado) oil An emollient that helps soften the skin and could be helpful in repairing its barrier function
15 helianthus annuus (sunflower) 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
16 prunus armeniaca (apricot) kernel oil An emollient that helps soften the skin
17 c13-14 isoparaffin Helps soften the upper layer of the skin, dissolve other ingredients and create a thicker product consistency
18 phenoxyethanol A preservative. It helps prevent bacterial growth in cosmetic products
19 carbomer Helps create a gel-like product texture. Can be used in gentle cleansing formulations
20 caprylyl glycol Helps preserve products and creates a nice product texture
21 hydrogenated jojoba oil Helps soften the upper layer of the skin
22 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.
23 laureth-7 Helps oil and water mix together
24 ethylhexylglycerin A preservative
25 aloe barbadensis leaf 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
26 sodium gluconate Helps stabilize product formulations
