Pos Ingredient Name Description
1 water/aqua/eau Plain old water
2 propanediol Acts as a solvent for other ingredients. Speeds up the absorption of other ingredients into the skin
3 isopropyl palmitate Helps soften the upper layer of the skin and create a thicker product consistency
4 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
5 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
6 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
7 fragrance (parfum An aromatic blend of unspecified irritating ingredients
8 sorbitan stearate Helps water and oil mix together
9 stearic acid Helps oil and water mix together and works as an emollient
10 glyceryl stearate An emollient that softens the skin and forms a protective layer on its surface. Helps water and oil mix together
11 peg-100 stearate Helps oil and water mix togehter and creates a nice product texture
12 cannabis sativa seed oil A plant oil that due to its high linoleic acid content can help strengthen skin's barrier function and soften its upper layer
13 aloe barbadensis leaf juice 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
14 ascorbic acid 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a serum or cream containing ascorbic acid has an orange color, it is a likely that the ingredient has oxidized and is no longer active).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
15 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
16 althaea officinalis root extract
17 euterpe oleracea fruit extract A plant extract that can have some anti-oxidant effect in skin
18 symphytum officinale leaf extract A plant extract that has an anti-bacterial effect
19 chamomilla recutita (matricaria) flower extract Plant extract that can have healing and anti-inflammatory properties. It is a potential allergen and can be irritating
20 citric acid Can work as an exfoliant but is typically used to adjust the product pH
21 cucumis sativus (cucumber) fruit extract Might be somewhat helpful in reducing hyperpigmentation and neutralizing free radicals but its typical concentration in a product is too low for having an effect
22 phenoxyethanol A preservative. It helps prevent bacterial growth in cosmetic products
23 mica Creates an illusion of smoother and more radiant skin tone. Adds shimmer to the skin by reflecting light
24 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
25 lycium barbarum fruit extract A plant extract that can help neutralize free radicals in skin and attract water to its upper layer
26 vanilla planifolia fruit extract A plant extract used as a fragrance. Can be irritating
27 calendula officinalis flower extract A plant extract that has some anti-oxidant and anti-bacterial properties. Can be irritating
28 zingiber officinale (ginger) root extract A plant extract that can contain an irritating essential oil. Might have some anti-oxidant effect, but evidence is lacking
29 benzyl benzoate Fragrance with sweet balsamic smell. Help to preserve products and dissolve other ingredients. Could trigger allergic reactions and be irritating
30 cetyl alcohol A non-drying alcohol that works to soften the skin and stabilize product formulations helping oil and water mix together
31 nylon-12 Used to create a nice product consistency
32 polysorbate 40 Helps oil and water mix together
33 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
34 aminomethyl propanol Used to adjust the pH in formulations
35 carbomer Helps create a gel-like product texture. Can be used in gentle cleansing formulations
36 calcium aluminum borosilicate Used to thickenthe product consistency
37 chlorphenesin A preservative
38 ethylhexylglycerin A preservative
39 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.
40 silica Used to absorb oil and can temporarily mattify skin
41 disodium edta Stabilizes the product formulation
42 linalool A fragrance. Can be irritating
43 hydroxyisohexyl 3-cyclohexene carboxaldehyde A fragrance. Can be irritating
44 , iron oxides ( The ingredient is not recognized
