Pos Ingredient Name Description
1 aloe barbadensis (aloe) leaf juice 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
2 zinc oxide A broad spectrum sunblock (protects from both UVA and UVB rays). Is suitable for most sensitive skins. In small concentrations, can be used as a colorant
3 isoamyl laurate Helps stabilize emulsions and create a nice product texture
4 dicaprylyl carbonate Helps products spread more easily and works as an emollient to soften skin
5 polyglyceryl-3 polyricinoleate Helps oil and water mix together
6 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
7 cetyl ricinoleate An emollient that helps soften the upper layer of the skin
8 sorbitan sesquioleate Used to help oil and water mix together. Can be irritating
9 helianthus annuus (sunflower) seed wax Helps soften the upper layer of the skin and support skin's barrier function while creating a thicker product consistency
10 olea europaea (olive) oil unsaponifiables
11 aroma An unspecified blend of fragrant irritating ingredients
12 sodium chloride Used to stabilize mixtures of oil and water, and create thicker, gel-like product textures
13 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
14 glyceryl caprylate An emollient that can also help water and oil mix together, as well as prevent bacteria growth in products
15 magnesium stearate
16 sorbitan caprylate
17 cellulose Can be used to help absorb oil as well as add volume and imporve texture of products.
18 rhus verniciflua peel cera
19 rhus succedanea fruit cera
20 shorea robusta resin
21 rubus idaeus (raspberry) seed oil A plant oil that might be able to help neutralize free radicals in skin
22 xanthan gum Used to create a thicker product consistency
23 propanediol Acts as a solvent for other ingredients. Speeds up the absorption of other ingredients into the skin
24 benzoic acid A preservative
25 aluminum tristearate
26 potassium hydroxide Used to adjust the pH level of products
27 aqua Plain old water
28 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.
29 vitamin c One of the few well researched potent anti-aging ingredients. When it is able to penetrate the skin in an active state, it is effective against fine lines and wrinkles, helps improve skin elasticity and reduce hyperpigmentation. It acts as a powerful anti-oxidant and stimulates collagen production. The main issue with ascorbic acid is that it is highly unstable, in other words, it is losing its effectivenss quickly when exposed to air and light (if a serum or cream containing ascorbic acid has an orange color, it is a likely that the ingredient has oxidized and is no longer active). In addition, it is water-soluble, meaning that it has difficulty pentrating the skin. It is also quite irritating, and can cause stinging. When used in low concentrations, helps stabilize the product formulation
30 sodium phytate Used to stabilize product formulations
31 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
32 geraniol A fragrance. Can be irritating
