Pos Ingredient Name Description
1 water (aqua Plain old water
2 olea europaea (olive) fruit oil An emollient that helps soften the skin but is not effective for restoring its barrier function. Might be helpful to calm down inflammation
3 polyglyceryl-3 polyricinoleate Helps oil and water mix together
4 beeswax Forms a protective barrier that holds water and keeps dry skin hydrated. Keeps an emulsion from separating into its oil and liquid components, and increases the thickness of a product. Can be an allergen
5 cera alba Forms a protective barrier that holds water and keeps dry skin hydrated. Keeps an emulsion from separating into its oil and liquid components, and increases the thickness of a product. Can be an allergen
6 caprylic/capric triglyceride A good mix of fatty acids that forms a protective layer on the skin. Improves the shelf life of products. Derived from coconut and glycerin
7 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
8 glyceryl oleate Helps oil and water mix together. Can be irritating
9 hydrogenated castor oil A plant oil that can help soften the skin. It might be helpful in calming down inflammation, but solid research is lacking. Is often used in lip products to create the needed product consistency
10 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
11 magnesium sulfate Used to create a thicker product consistency
12 behenyl beeswax
13 oenothera biennis (evening primrose) oil Helps soften the upper layer of the skin and can support skin barrier function
14 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.
15 stearyl beeswax
16 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.
17 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
18 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
19 helianthus annuus (sunflower) seed oil A great emollient due to its high linoleic acid content. One of the most effective plant oils in helping skin hydration and repairing skin barrier function
20 ascorbyl palmitate Being a lipid soluble form of vitamin C, it is more stable and can penetrate the skin better than L-Ascorbic acid. It is effective in protecting the skin from free radicals, as well as evening the skin tone, but is less effective in stimulating collagen production compared to L-Ascorbic acid.
21 glycine soja (soyabean) oil A good emollient that helps soften the skin and helps repair its barrier function
