Pos Ingredient Name Description
1 water Plain old water
2 propylheptyl caprylate

4 dibutyl adipate Helps soften the upper layer of the skin and create a nice product consistency
5 methyl trimethicone A type of silicone that helps create a silky product finish and dissolve other ingredients
6 dipropylene glycol Helps to dissolve other ingredients in a formulation. Slows down the rate of product drying
7 , polyglyceryl-3 poly-polydimethylsiloxyethyl The ingredient is not recognized
