Ceramides (ceramide np 0.15% - 0.30%). Ceramides are an important part of our natural skin barrier. The Ceramides used in skincare are synthetic or come from plants. They help soften the skin and can help "fill the gaps" in the skin barrier, keeping the skin hydrated and resilient for longer.
Humectants (sodium hyaluronate 0.20% - 0.35%, soluble collagen 0.20% - 0.35%, hydrolyzed algae extract 0.20% - 0.35%, algae extract 0.25% - 0.45% and betaine 2.80% - 3.50%). These ingredients help attract water to the upper layer of the skin and improve the skin hydration.

What does the product description say?

Nature Republic Super Aqua Max Watery Toner uses a watery texture to deliver moisture and hydration into your skin.

Source: Lila Beauty

This product can help improve hydration of the skin with the two types of ingredients.

The first type is called “humectants”:
these ingredients help attract water. When humectants are on the surface of the skin, they “pull in” the moisture from the outside environment, or from within deeper layers of the skin. The following ingredients in this product do the job: algae extract, betaine.

This product also contains ingredients called “occlusives”. They help reduce the speed with which our skin loses moisture to the outside environment. These ingredients also help soften the upper layer of the skin, so it feels less tight and nicer to the touch. The following ingredients in this product do the job: algae extract, pentylene glycol.

The following ingredients in this product are especially good for supporting the skin barrier and helping with the hydration level: ceramide np

soluble collagen 0.2% - 0.35%

Irritation risk:

Concentration: Effectiveness: HIGH

A typically plant-derived compound that is supposed mimic human collagen. Cannot penetrate the skin barrier so is not particularly useful in skincare products beyond attracting water to the upper layer of the skin

undaria pinnatifida extract 0.2% - 0.35%

Irritation risk:

Concentration: Effectiveness: HIGH

A seaweed extract that helps attract water to the upper layer of the skin and might have an anti-oxidant effect

algae extract 0.25% - 0.45%

Irritation risk: Comedogenicity: High

Concentration: Effectiveness: HIGH

Plant extract that helps the skin to attract water and make it more smooth for touch. Also shows promise of anti-aging properties, but research is not extensive yet

Anti-aging

This product contains centella asiatica extract. This ingredient might be able to help reduce and prevent fine lines and wrinkles, improve skin elasticity and firmness, but there is not enough evidence that it actually works.

centella asiatica extract 1.3% - 1.6%

Irritation risk:

Concentration: Effectiveness: MEDIUM

A plant extract that has been shown to be able to reduce inflammation in skin, support restoration of skin barrier function, as well as support collagen production. Contains active compounds called centelloids: asiaticoside, madecasosside, asiatic acid and madecassic acid. Might be helpful in preventing stretch marks. It can be itself be irritating though.

algae extract 0.25% - 0.45%

Irritation risk: Comedogenicity: High

Concentration: Effectiveness: LOW

Plant extract that helps the skin to attract water and make it more smooth for touch. Also shows promise of anti-aging properties, but research is not extensive yet

laminaria saccharina extract 0.15% - 0.3%

Irritation risk: Comedogenicity: High

Concentration: Insufficient!

A seaweed extract that contains sugars and can be helpful in attracting water to the upper layers of the skin if used in high enough concentrations

Anti-oxidation

This product contains antioxidants (centella asiatica extract, ficus carica fruit extract, haematococcus pluvialis extract) that might be able to help neutralize free radicals in skin to lessen the damage it gets from the UV light (sun). There is not enough evidence to confirm their effectiveness in skin though.

ficus carica fruit extract 1.1% - 1.3%

Irritation risk:

Concentration: Effectiveness: MEDIUM

A plant extract that can help neutralize free radicals. The concentrations typically used in cosmetics are too small to have an effect

haematococcus pluvialis extract 0.2% - 0.35%

Irritation risk:

Concentration: Effectiveness: MEDIUM

Green algae extract that might contain antioxidant astaxanthin

centella asiatica extract 1.3% - 1.6%
