retinol	HIGH
tetrahexyldecyl ascorbate	HIGH
retinyl palmitate	MEDIUM

Pos	Ingredient Name	Description
1	aqua	Plain old water
2	cyclopentasiloxane	A silicone that helps improve the product texture and spreadability. Can absord oil creating a short-term mattifying effect on the skin
3	cyclohexasiloxane	A silicone that serves as an emollient. Helps create a nice non-greasy feels
4	glyceryl stearate	An emollient that softens the skin and forms a protective layer on its surface. Helps water and oil mix together
5	peg-100 stearate	Helps oil and water mix togehter and creates a nice product texture
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	mica	Creates an illusion of smoother and more radiant skin tone. Adds shimmer to the skin by reflecting light
8	cetearyl alcohol	A non-drying alcohol. Works as an emollient. Helps water and oil mix together and creates a nice product texture
9	prunus armeniaca (apricot) kernel oil	An emollient that helps soften the skin
10	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
11	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.
12	triethanolamine	Used to adjust pH of the product and can help improve the product's smell
13	ceteareth-6
14	phenoxyethanol	A preservative. It helps prevent bacterial growth in cosmetic products
15	carbomer 940	Helps create a gel-like product texture. Can be used in gentle cleansing formulations
16	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.
17	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
18	silica	Used to absorb oil and can temporarily mattify skin
19	stearyl alcohol	An emollient that helps soften the skin
20	caprylyl glycol	Helps preserve products and creates a nice product texture
21	ethylhexyl glycerin	A preservative
22	disodium edta	Stabilizes the product formulation
23	hexylene glycol	Helps create a more spreadable product texture
24	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
25	vitamin a	Two steps removed from the active form of vitamin A - retinoic acid. Once converted to the retinoic acid in the skin, retinol is proven to be effective against all signs of aging. It improves skin cell turnover, helps fight blemishes and clogged pores, can regulate excess oil production and even skin tone. It can, however, be quite irritating
26	sodium dehydroacetate	A preservative
27	tetrahexyldecyl ascorbate	Being a lipid soluble form of vitamin C, it is more stable. It is claimed to penetrate skin better than pure vitamin C and have the the similar benefits, but solid studies of its effectiveness are lacking. Is likely to require a higher concentration in a product than pure vitamin C to be effective.
28	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
29	ricinus communis (castor) seed oil	A plant oil that can help soften the skin. It might be helpful in calming down inflammation, but solid research is lacking. Is often used in lip products to create the needed product consistency
30	camellia oleifera (green tea) leaf extract	A plant extract that can help neutralize free radicals and reduce inflammation, even though it is not usually used in sufficient concentration in cosmetics
31	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
32	), iron oxides (	The ingredient is not recognized
33	ci 77491	A red colorant made of iron oxide. Typically is not irritating
