Pos | Ingredient Name | Description |
---|---|---|
1 | 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 |
2 | hydroxyethylcellulose | Used to thicken product formulations and create gel-like textures |
3 | pentylene glycol | Used to preserve products, dissolve other ingredients and create a nice product texture |
4 | sodium hyaluronate | One of the best moisturizing ingredients. Attracts water into the upper layer of the skin |
5 | madecassoside | An antioxidant that is typically derived from plant Centella Asiatica. It can help neutralize free radicals in skin and support skin barrier function. It could, however, itself be irritating |
6 | rosa centifolia extract | |
7 | rosa centifolia flower extract | Contains essential oil. Can be irritating |
8 | , rosa meichibon/delgramaue callus, | The ingredient is not recognized |
9 | safflower glucoside | |
10 | threonine | 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 |
11 | 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 |
12 | arginine | An amino acid that is naturally present in skin and helps keep it hydrated. When used together with AHAs, it can reduce their irritating effect on the skin |
13 | 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 |
14 | 2-oleamido-1,3-octadecanediol | Helps soften the upper layer of the skin and slow down the water loss over time |
15 | proline | |
16 | alanine | An amino-acid that helps to attract water to the upper layer of the skin and might help to lighten the skin, but solid evidence is lacking |
17 | aminopropyl triethoxysilane | |
18 | ascorbyl glucoside | A vitamin C derivative that is more stable but less potent than pure form of vitamin C. Has a potential to boost collagen production, nutralise free radicals and reduce hyperpigmentation, but the required concentration is likely to be much higher than for the pure form of vitamin C, limiting the ingredient's effectiveness in products |
19 | propanediol | Acts as a solvent for other ingredients. Speeds up the absorption of other ingredients into the skin |
20 | propylene glycol | Helps oil and water mix together and can enhance the penetration of other ingredients into the skin |
21 | hydroxypropyl tetrahydropyrantriol | A sugar-derived compound that helps to attract water to the upper layer of the skin and might be able to stimulate synthesis of skin's own moisturizing factors, but solid research is lacking. It could be irritating |
22 | citric acid | Can work as an exfoliant but is typically used to adjust the product pH |
23 | xanthan gum | Used to create a thicker product consistency |
24 | panthenol | Helps attract water to the upper layer of the skin and can help improve skin barrier function |
25 | biotin | Might have some moisturising properties. Is not effective when applied topically beyond some moisturizing effect |
26 | glutamic acid | An amino-acid that helps attract water to the upper layer of the skin |
27 | polysorbate 21 | |
28 | tocopherol | Pure form of vitamin E. Can help moisturise and protect the skin from free radicals. Often used to help stabilise other ingredients or the formula itself |
29 | 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. |
30 | phenoxyethanol | A preservative. It helps prevent bacterial growth in cosmetic products |
