1 | water (aqua | Plain old water |
2 | cetearyl ethylhexanoate | An emollient that helps soften the skin |
3 | c12-15 alkyl benzoate | Enhances the product texture and makes it more spreadable. Helps reduce water loss from the outer layer of skin. Extands the shelf life by preventing bacteria growth |
4 | 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 |
5 | caprylic/capric triglyceride | A good mix of fatty acids that forms a protective layer on the skin. Improves the shelf life of products. Derived from coconut and glycerin |
6 | cetyl peg/ppg-10/1 dimethicone | A type of silicone that helps water and oil mix together. Can help to soften upper layer of the skin |
7 | titanium dioxide (ci 77891 | Works as a UV filter when used in high concentrations. It is photostable and is effective mostly against the UVB light, with some protection in the UVA range. In small concentrations, used for its ability to improve the color of cosmetic products. Is usually well tolerated by the skin |
8 | beeswax | 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 |
9 | 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 |
10 | hydrogenated polydecene | Helps to soften the upper layer of the skin and create a nice product texture |
11 | ethylene/acrylic acid copolymer | |
12 | isononyl isononanoate | Forms a protective film on the surface of the skin to prevent moisture loss. Gives a velvety feel to products while reducing tackiness |
13 | propylene glycol | Helps oil and water mix together and can enhance the penetration of other ingredients into the skin |
14 | saccharomyces cerevisiae extract | A moisturizing ingredient that works as a humectant to attract water to the upper layer of the skin. |
15 | sodium palmitoyl proline | |
16 | paeonia lactiflora root extract | A plant extract that might help neutralize free radicals and reduce hyperpigmentation, but the research on its effectiveness in skin is lacking |
17 | trehalose | A sugar that attracts water to the upper layer of the skin |
18 | pseudoalteromonas ferment extract | |
19 | sodium hyaluronate | One of the best moisturizing ingredients. Attracts water into the upper layer of the skin |
20 | hydrolyzed wheat protein | Can help attract water to the upper layer of the skin. Avoid if sensitive to gluten |
21 | hydrolyzed soy protein | Helps attract water to the upper layer of the skin. Might have some anti-aging, anti-oxidant, and skin lightening properties, but solid evidence is missing |
22 | nymphaea alba flower extract | |
23 | oryza sativa (rice) extract | A grain extract that helps to create a thicker product consistency. It might have some anti-oxidant properties and help attract water to the upper layer of the skin |
24 | tripeptide-10 citrulline | A type of peptide. Peptides are excellent moisturizers and might be able support collagen production reducing fine lines and wrinkles |
25 | tripeptide-1 | A type of peptide. Peptides are excellent moisturizers and might be able support collagen production reducing fine lines and wrinkles |
26 | dextrin palmitate | Helps water and oil mix together |
27 | magnesium sulfate | Used to create a thicker product consistency |
28 | hexyl laurate | Helps soften the upper layer of the skin and create a nice product consistency |
29 | polyglyceryl-4 isostearate | Helps water and oil mix together |
30 | aluminum hydroxide | Is used to add opaque (non-transparent) appearance to formulations. Can be used to coat other ingredients for even dispersion. This is a different ingredient compared to the ones used in antipersperants (aluminium chloride and aluminium chlorohydrate) |
31 | stearic acid | Helps oil and water mix together and works as an emollient |
32 | dipropylene glycol | Helps to dissolve other ingredients in a formulation. Slows down the rate of product drying |
33 | stearalkonium hectorite | Used to create an even product consistency |
34 | disodium edta | Stabilizes the product formulation |
35 | propylene carbonate | Is used to dissolve other ingredients and create nice product texture |
36 | palmitic acid | An emollient that is naturally present in skin and helps soften it |
37 | 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 |
38 | sodium lauroyl glutamate | Used as a cleansing agent. It creates foam |
39 | ethylhexylglycerin | A preservative |
40 | lysine | An amino-acid that helps to attract water to the upper layer of the skin. In combination with other amino-acids, might help to reduce fine lines and wrinkles |
41 | magnesium chloride | |
42 | caprylyl glycol | Helps preserve products and creates a nice product texture |
43 | xanthan gum | Used to create a thicker product consistency |
