Pos Ingredient Name Description
1 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
2 isododecane An emollient that helps soften the skin and can decrease moisture loss. Helps create a nice product texture
3 water\aqua\eau Plain old water
4 polysilicone-11 A silicone that forms a light film on the skin surface helping to bind water and temporarily absorb oils creating a matt and powdery feel
5 polyethylene Used to thicken the product's texture
6 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
7 cyclopentasiloxane A silicone that helps improve the product texture and spreadability. Can absord oil creating a short-term mattifying effect on the skin
8 hexyldecyl stearate Helps create a nice product feeling on the skin and help soften its upper layer
9 caffeine Might be helpful in neutralizing free radicals. Can have a dehydration effect that might somewhat decrease the look of puffy eyes
10 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.
11 sodium hyaluronate One of the best moisturizing ingredients. Attracts water into the upper layer of the skin
12 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
13 yeast extract Helps attract water to the upper layer of the skin and might have some anti-oxidant and skin lightening properties. It can help calm down inflammation in skin
14 faex Yeast extract. Helps to attract water to the upper layer of the skin
15 extrait de levure Helps attract water to the upper layer of the skin and might have some anti-oxidant and skin lightening properties. It can help calm down inflammation in skin
16 triticum vulgare (wheat) germ oil A good emoillient. Contains vitamin E which can help neutralise free radicals, however the oil is unstable. Avoid if you have gluten or wheat sensitivity (including food allergies).
17 hordeum vulgare (barley) extract\extrait d'orge A plant extract that might have some anti-oxidant properties. Avoid if you are sensitive to gluten
18 pyrus malus (apple) fruit extract Can have some moisturizing properties due to its sugar content
19 cucumis sativus (cucumber) fruit extract Might be somewhat helpful in reducing hyperpigmentation and neutralizing free radicals but its typical concentration in a product is too low for having an effect
20 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
21 centella asiatica (hydrocotyl) extract
22 saccharomyces lysate extract Helps attract water to the upper layer of the skin. Can have some anti-inflammatory effect
23 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.
24 methyldihydrojasmonate
25 phytosphingosine A type of lipid that is naturally present in skin. It might help in repairing skin barrier function and has anti-bacterial effect
26 quaternium-18 bentonite
27 propylene carbonate Is used to dissolve other ingredients and create nice product texture
28 polymethyl methacrylate Is used to enhance product texture and can help to optically mask skin imperfections
29 cetyl peg/ppg-10/1 dimethicone A type of silicone that helps water and oil mix together. Can help to soften upper layer of the skin
30 peg/ppg-18/18 dimethicone A silicone that mixes with water creating nice light-weight product texture
31 tetrasodium edta Helps to stabilize the product formulation
32 sodium dehydroacetate A preservative
33 phenoxyethanol A preservative. It helps prevent bacterial growth in cosmetic products
