Pos Ingredient Name Description
1 aqua (water Plain old water
2 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
3 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
4 macadamia ternifolia seed oil Plant oil from nuts that helps soften the upper layer of the skin. Contains a high concentration of oleic acid that can weaken skin's barrier function and increase water-loss while enhancing penetration of other ingredients
5 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.
6 . rosa centifolia The ingredient is not recognized
7 water Plain old water
8 cyclomethicone A type of silicone that leaves a nice silky finish on the skin and can help soften its upper layer
9 sucrose stearate Helps water and oil mix together
10 sucrose distearate
11 cetearyl alcohol A non-drying alcohol. Works as an emollient. Helps water and oil mix together and creates a nice product texture
12 stearic acid Helps oil and water mix together and works as an emollient
13 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
14 citrus aurantium dulcis (orange) oil Used as a fragrance. It can be irritating and cause photosensitivity
15 hydrogenated lecithin Helps to retain moisture by creating a protective barrier on the skin. Rich in fatty acids. Improves product texture and helps with the penetration of other ingredients.
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 carbomer Helps create a gel-like product texture. Can be used in gentle cleansing formulations
18 triethanolamine Used to adjust pH of the product and can help improve the product's smell
19 ethylhexylglycerin A preservative
20 phenoxyethanol A preservative. It helps prevent bacterial growth in cosmetic products
21 phytosphingosine A type of lipid that is naturally present in skin. It might help in repairing skin barrier function and has anti-bacterial effect
22 lactic acid An exfoliating and moisturizing alpha-hydroxy acid (AHA). Typically causes less irritation than other AHAs, for example, glycolic acid. At high concentrations (about 15%), lactic acid can help reduce lines and wrinkles. Recent studies show that lactic acid can support the "good" bacteria living on skin's surface (healthy skin microbiom)
23 lactobacillus
24 algae
25 ferment. The ingredient is not recognized
