9 | disodium edta | Stabilizes the product formulation |
10 | disodium phosphate | Helps adjust the product pH and stabilize the formulation |
11 | 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 |
