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) |
