18 | 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. |
19 | vitis vinifera (grape) seed oil | A great emollient that can have some anti-oxidant properties |
20 | aloe barbadensis leaf juice powder | 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 |

Recent studies show that lactic acid can support the "good" bacteria living on skin's surface (healthy skin microbiom) |
34 | benzoic acid | A preservative |
