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 | propylene glycol | Helps oil and water mix together and can enhance the penetration of other ingredients into the skin |
4 | polysorbate 80 | Helps water and oil mix together |
5 | cyclopentasiloxane | A silicone that helps improve the product texture and spreadability. Can absord oil creating a short-term mattifying effect on the skin |
6 | panthenol | Helps attract water to the upper layer of the skin and can help improve skin barrier function |
7 | niacinamide | Is proven to be effective in reducing blemishes, evening out skin tone and helping to improve lines and wrinkles. It helps the skin to repair sun damage, calm down inflammation and keep maintain good levels of moisture |
8 | carica papaya (papaya) fruit extract | |
9 | adenosine | Might help improve cell turnover and reduce inflammation in skin. One study shows that the ingredients might be able to stimulate collagen production in skin |
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 | persea gratissima (avocado) fruit extract | |
12 | 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 |
13 | mangifera indica (mango) fruit extract | A fruit extract that might help attract water to the upper layer of the skin. There is no evidence of other benefits in skin |
14 | aloe barbadenis leaf extract | 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 |
15 | camellia sinensis leaf extract | Can contain potent anti-oxidant compounds and help protect the skin from free radicals. Can help calm down inflammation and has some anti-bacterial properties |
16 | rosmarinus officinalis (rosemary) extract | |
17 | sodium hyaluronate | One of the best moisturizing ingredients. Attracts water into the upper layer of the skin |
18 | disodium edta | Stabilizes the product formulation |
19 | triethanolamine | Used to adjust pH of the product and can help improve the product's smell |
20 | carbomer | Helps create a gel-like product texture. Can be used in gentle cleansing formulations |
21 | hydroxyethylcellulose | Used to thicken product formulations and create gel-like textures |
22 | benzyl glycol | Helps dissolve other ingredients and preserve products |
23 | ethylhexylglycerin | A preservative |
24 | raspberry ketone | Used as a fragrance. It can reduce skin pigmentation, but it is not safe to use for these purposes in high concentrations as use of raspberry ketone and its derivative is linked to causing loss of skin pigmentation in people (leukoderma) |
25 | pelargonium graveolens flower oil | An essential oil. Can be irritating. Can become an allergen with oxidation |
