Pos Ingredient Name Description
1 aqua Plain old water
2 cetyl alcohol A non-drying alcohol that works to soften the skin and stabilize product formulations helping oil and water mix together
3 alcohol denat. Produces temporary toning effect. Can help dissolve other ingredients or preserve products
4 potassium cocoate Helps oil and water mix together and works as a cleansing agent
5 potassium olivate
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 persea gratissima (avocado) oil An emollient that helps soften the skin and could be helpful in repairing its barrier function
8 triticum vulgare (wheat) germ oil A good emoillient. Contains vitamin E which can help neutralise free radicals, however the oil is unstable. Avoid if you have gluten or wheat sensitivity (including food allergies).
9 lonicera japonica (honeysuckle) flower extract A plant extract that might help neutralize free radicals in skin. Can contain volalite oils and be irritating
10 citrus aurantium dulcis (orange) peel extract
11 citrus paradisi (grapefruit) peel oil
12 menthol
13 lonicera caprifolium (honeysuckle) flower extract A plant extract that might help neutralize free radicals in skin. Can contain volalite oils and be irritating
14 macadamia ternifolia seed oil Plant oil from nuts that helps soften the upper layer of the skin. Contains a high concentration of oleic acid that can weaken skin's barrier function and increase water-loss while enhancing penetration of other ingredients
15 cocos nucifera (coconut) oil An emollient. Found to be as effective as a moisturizer for dry skin as mineral oil. Could be comedogenic
16 lavandula angustifolia (lavender) oil An essential oil. Potential allergen and can be irritating. It has some anti-bacterial properties
17 rosmarinus officinalis (rosemary) leaf oil A plant oil with high content of volatile compounds that can irritate the skin. Can be used as a fragrance. Has anti-bacterial properties and might help neutralize free radicals on the surface of the skin
18 simmondsia chinensis (jojoba) seed oil Softens the upper layer of skin and helps restore the healthy skin barrier. Has shown to help calm down inflammation in skin. It is a stable oil, meaning that it retains its properties even when exposed to air.
19 eucalyptus globulus leaf oil An essential oil that can be very irritating. Has some anti-bacterial properties
20 passiflora edulis seed oil A good emollient helping to soften the skin. Might have some anti-oxidant properties
21 oryza sativa (rice) bran oil Helps soften the upper layer of the skin and might have some anti-oxidant properties
22 euterpe oleracea fruit oil A plant oil that might help neutralize free radicals, but evidence of effectiveness in skin is lacking
23 phospholipids Emollients that are naturaly present in skin. In addition, they help water and oil mix together in the product
24 orbignya oleifera seed oil A plant oil that can help soften the upper layer of the skin. Might be helpful in calming down inflammation in skin
25 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.
26 maltodextrin Used to stabilize the product formulation and can help absorb oil
27 hamamelis virginiana (witch hazel) leaf extract A plant extract that can help calm down inflammation in skin. Can, however, itself be irritating
28 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.
29 retinyl palmitate Three steps removed from the active form of vitamin A - retinoic acid. To have an effect in the skin, it first needs to be converted twice to become the retinoic acid. This means it is less potent than retinol, but could also be less irritating. Once converted to the retinoic acid in the skin, it helps against all signs of aging, improves skin cell turnover and helps fight blemishes and clogged pores. However, in many cosmetic formulations, it is used in a concentration that is too low to have the full effect
30 epilobium angustifolium flower/leaf/stem extract A plant extract that might contain antioxidants
31 sodium hyaluronate One of the best moisturizing ingredients. Attracts water into the upper layer of the skin
32 allantoin Helps calm down inflammation in skin and can help reduce itching. Helps to repair the skin barrier and keep skin hydrated
33 hydrolyzed vegetable protein
34 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
35 avena sativa (oat) bran extract
36 panthenol Helps attract water to the upper layer of the skin and can help improve skin barrier function
37 citric acid Can work as an exfoliant but is typically used to adjust the product pH
38 tetrasodium edta Helps to stabilize the product formulation
39 leuconostoc/radish root ferment filtrate A preservative that comes from radishes fermented by a bacteria. New research suggests that the preservation properties in the ingredient come from an ammonium salt that is not present naturally in radish root but used in its cultivation. Is problematic because the exact amount of the preservative agents is difficult to determine
40 sodium hydroxide Used to adjust the product's pH
41 alcohol Can be drying and contribute to skin irritation. Used in formulars to dissolve other ingredients, create a thinner product consistency or for its antibacterial properties
42 phenoxyethanol A preservative. It helps prevent bacterial growth in cosmetic products
43 sodium metabisulfite A preservative
