Pos Ingredient Name Description
1 aqua/water/eau Plain old water
2 cyclomethicone A type of silicone that leaves a nice silky finish on the skin and can help soften its upper layer
3 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
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 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
6 ethylhexyl palmitate An emollient that helps soften the skin and create a nice product texture
7 steareth-2 Helps oil and water mix together
8 boron nitride Helps to absord oil and evenly disperse other ingredients (for example, pigment) in product formulation
9 xylitol Helps attract water to the upper layer of the skin and repair the skin barrier function
10 cyclopentasiloxane A silicone that helps improve the product texture and spreadability. Can absord oil creating a short-term mattifying effect on the skin
11 steareth-21 Helps oil and water mix together
12 cetyl alcohol A non-drying alcohol that works to soften the skin and stabilize product formulations helping oil and water mix together
13 soluble collagen A typically plant-derived compound that is supposed mimic human collagen. Cannot penetrate the skin barrier so is not particularly useful in skincare products beyond attracting water to the upper layer of the skin
14 cyclohexasiloxane A silicone that serves as an emollient. Helps create a nice non-greasy feels
15 cholesterol An emollient that is naturally found in skin
16 lactic acid An exfoliating and moisturizing alpha-hydroxy acid (AHA). Typically causes less irritation than other AHAs, for example, glycolic acid. At high concentrations (about 15%), lactic acid can help reduce lines and wrinkles. Recent studies show that lactic acid can support the "good" bacteria living on skin's surface (healthy skin microbiom)
17 serine An amino-acid that helps to attract water to the upper layer of the skin. In combination with other amino-acids, might help to reduce fine lines and wrinkles
18 sodium lactate Helps attract water to the upper layer of the skin. Is often used to adjust the pH level of the product
19 sorbitol Helps attract water to the upper layer of the skin and improves the product texture
20 tea-lactate
21 urea Naturally present in skin. Attracts water to the upper layer of the skin. Can enhance penetration of other ingredients. Is an exfoliating ingredient when used in high concentrations
22 sodium chloride Used to stabilize mixtures of oil and water, and create thicker, gel-like product textures
23 sodium hyaluronate One of the best moisturizing ingredients. Attracts water into the upper layer of the skin
24 citric acid Can work as an exfoliant but is typically used to adjust the product pH
25 glucose Helps attract water to the upper layer of the skin. Could be helpful in restoring the skin barrier function
26 mannitol Helps to attract water to the upper layer of the skin
27 imperata cylindrica root extract
28 disodium phosphate Helps adjust the product pH and stabilize the formulation
29 potassium chloride
30 calcium chloride Helps create a thicker product consistency. Might be irritating
31 ceramide 3 A type of lipid similar to ceramides naturally present in skin. Helps to soften the upper layer of the skin and supports the skin barrier function to keep it hydrated. Can help to prevent inflammation in skin
32 magnesium chloride
33 magnesium sulfate Used to create a thicker product consistency
34 carnosine A type of peptide. It attracts water to the upper layer of the skin. It can help neutralize free radicals in skin combatting the sun damage
35 potassium phosphate Helps regulate the pH of the formulation
36 allantoin Helps calm down inflammation in skin and can help reduce itching. Helps to repair the skin barrier and keep skin hydrated
37 algae extract Plant extract that helps the skin to attract water and make it more smooth for touch. Also shows promise of anti-aging properties, but research is not extensive yet
38 disodium adenosine triphosphate
39 superoxide dismutase An antioxidant enzyme that is naturally present in skin. It can help support skin barrier function and reduce inflammation in skin. It is used in topical medications for inflammatory skin conditions including atopic dermatitis (eczema) and psoriasis. There are three types of natural Superoxide Dismutase in human skin. The compound used in topical treatments and cosmetics are mimics of typically one of these natural variants
40 creatine Can support skin's ability to neutralize free radicals and produce collagen, though further research is needed to confirm effectiveness
41 artemia extract Zooplankton extract that can attract water to the upper level of the skin and might have some anti-oxidant effect
42 acrylates/c10-30 alkyl acrylate, crosspolymer Maintains the texture of skincare products. Allows the product to spread evenly. Helps oil and water mix together
43 acrylate, crosspolymer, c10-3
44 c10-30 cholesterol/lanosterol esters
45 phenyl trimethicone A type of silicone that can decrease loss of moisture from the skin surface. It helps create a nice product texture
46 sodium citrate Helps to control the skin's pH level. Maintains the skin's natural film of amino-lactic acids and oils. Helps to preserve products
47 bht A preservative
48 propylene glycol Helps oil and water mix together and can enhance the penetration of other ingredients into the skin
49 sodium bicarbonate Helps regulate the product pH
50 sodium benzoate A preservative
51 sodium hydroxide Used to adjust the product's pH
52 red 33 (ci 17200 A red colorant
53 chlorphenesin A preservative
54 cetrimonium bromide
55 fragrance (parfum An aromatic blend of unspecified irritating ingredients
56 hexyl cinnamal A fragrance with jasmine smell. A likely irritant
57 butylphenyl methylpropional A fragrance. Can trigger allergic reactions and be irritating
58 hydroxyisohexyl 3-cyclohexene carboxaldehyde A fragrance. Can be irritating
59 citronellol A fragrance. Can be irritating
60 linalool A fragrance. Can be irritating
61 benzyl benzoate Fragrance with sweet balsamic smell. Help to preserve products and dissolve other ingredients. Could trigger allergic reactions and be irritating
