1 | mica | Creates an illusion of smoother and more radiant skin tone. Adds shimmer to the skin by reflecting light |
2 | titanium dioxide (ci 77891 | 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 |

6 | ) dahlia / heirloom / jetset /praline : | The ingredient is not recognized |
7 | bis-behenyl/isostearyl/phytosteryl dimer dilinoleyl dimer dilinoleate | |
8 | isocetyl stearate | An emollient that helps soften the skin |
9 | diisostearyl malate | Helps to soften the upper layer of the skin |
10 | polybutene | Used to create a thicker product consistency |
11 | synthetic wax | Used to stabilize product formulations and thicken product consistency |
12 | silica | Used to absorb oil and can temporarily mattify skin |
13 | synthetic beeswax | Helps soften the upper layer of the skin |
14 | glyceryl caprylate | An emollient that can also help water and oil mix together, as well as prevent bacteria growth in products |
15 | pentaerythrityl tetra-di-t-butyl hydroxyhydrocinnamate | Used to increase stability of product formulations |
16 | butyrospermum parkii (shea) butter | A great moisturising ingredient that softens the skin and reduces water loss from its upper layer. It also can be helpful in protecting skin from free radicals |
17 | mangifera indica (mango) seed oil | |
18 | 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. |
19 | vitamin e | 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 |
20 | 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. |
21 | vitamin c | 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 |
22 | tocopherol (vitamin e | 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 |
