Pos Ingredient Name Description
1 ethylhexyl methoxycinnamate/octinoxate Octinoxate. When used in higher concentrations, works as a sunscreen protecting the skin from UVB rays. When used in lower concentration, helps to preserve the product formulation. Is shown to be harmful to coral reefs - consider avoiding bathing in coral reef areas when wearing a product with this ingredient. It can be irritating
2 titanium dioxide Works as a UV filter when used in high concentrations. It is photostable and is effective mostly against the UVB light, with some protection in the UVA range. In small concentrations, used for its ability to improve the color of cosmetic products. Is usually well tolerated by the skin
3 zinc oxide A broad spectrum sunblock (protects from both UVA and UVB rays). Is suitable for most sensitive skins. In small concentrations, can be used as a colorant
4 aqua/water Plain old water
5 cyclomethicone A type of silicone that leaves a nice silky finish on the skin and can help soften its upper layer
6 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
7 ci 77492 A colorant. Usually well-tolerated
8 /iron oxides, The ingredient is not recognized
9 dipropylene glycol Helps to dissolve other ingredients in a formulation. Slows down the rate of product drying
10 peg-10 dimethicone A silicone that works to soften the upper layer of the skin and reduce its water loss
11 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
12 isoeicosane
13 talc Absorbs oil and moisture helping to create a dryer product finish
14 hexyl laurate Helps soften the upper layer of the skin and create a nice product consistency
15 betaine Helps attract water to the upper layer of the skin and improves the product texture
16 disteardimonium hectorite A type of clay that is used to thicken the product consistency
17 panax ginseng root extract A plant extract that might have some anti-inflammatory properties, but solid evidence is lacking. It can be irritating
18 kigelia africana fruit extract
19 portulaca oleracea extract A plant extract that has some anti-oxidant activity, but solid research is lacking. Can help attract water to the upper layer of the skin
20 glycyrrhiza glabra (licorice) root extract A plant extract that can help lighten the skin and calm down inflammation. Might be helpful in neutralizing free radicals
21 dioscorea villosa (wild yam) root extract
22 equisetum giganteum extract
23 glycosyl trehalose
24 palmitic acid An emollient that is naturally present in skin and helps soften it
25 magnesium sulfate Used to create a thicker product consistency
26 aluminum hydroxide Is used to add opaque (non-transparent) appearance to formulations. Can be used to coat other ingredients for even dispersion. This is a different ingredient compared to the ones used in antipersperants (aluminium chloride and aluminium chlorohydrate)
27 dimethicone/vinyl dimethicone crosspolymer Used to stabilize product formulations and create a nice product texture
28 acrylates/dimethicone copolymer Used to stabilize product formulation, help create an even product layer over skin (for example, in sunscreen), evenly disperse pigements and create a nice product consistency
29 hydrogenated starch hydrolysate Helps to attract water to the upper layer of the skin. Can add sweet taste to lip products
30 stearic acid Helps oil and water mix together and works as an emollient
31 methicone A type of silicone that helps soften the upper layer of the skin and reduces the water loss from the skin surface
32 phenoxyethanol A preservative. It helps prevent bacterial growth in cosmetic products
33 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.
34 triethoxycaprylylsilane A type of silicone that helps oil and water mix well together. Helps to disperse other ingredients, e.g. pigments, evenly in a formulation
35 parfum/fragrance An aromatic blend of unspecified irritating ingredients
36 ethylhexylglycerin A preservative
37 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
