Pos Ingredient Name Description
1 water Plain old water
2 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
3 squalane An oil naturally present in skin. Works as an emollient to soften the skin and form a protective layer on its surface without a greasy feeling.
4 oryza sativa (rice) bran oil Helps soften the upper layer of the skin and might have some anti-oxidant properties
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

7 glyceryl stearate se Used to stabilize the product formulations and works as an emollient

15 magnesium ascorbyl phosphate A derivative of vitamin C that is more stable, but less bioavailable than the pure form of vitamin C. It does not penetrate the skin well, but has been shown to convert to pure vitamin C once in skin. It can be helpful in stimulating collagen production and lightening the skin tone, but the required concentration is likely to be very high
16 theobroma cacao (cocoa) seed butter Helps soften the upper layer of the skin and can be helpful in restoring the skin barrier function. Might have some anti-oxidant effect
17 rosa roxburghii fruit extract A fruit extract that might help neutralize free radicals in skin, but evidence of effectiveness is missing
18 oryza sativa (rice) lees extract
19 sodium hyaluronate One of the best moisturizing ingredients. Attracts water into the upper layer of the skin
20 hydrolyzed 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

33 xanthan gum Used to create a thicker product consistency
34 fragrance An aromatic blend of unspecified irritating ingredients
35 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

37 alcohol Can be drying and contribute to skin irritation. Used in formulars to dissolve other ingredients, create a thinner product consistency or for its antibacterial properties
38 propanediol Acts as a solvent for other ingredients. Speeds up the absorption of other ingredients into the skin
39 zinc sulfate A preservative. It can be irritating
40 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

42 cholesterol An emollient that is naturally found in skin
43 carbomer Helps create a gel-like product texture. Can be used in gentle cleansing formulations
