Pos Ingredient Name Description
1 aqua/water/eau Plain old water
2 glycolic acid An alpha-hydroxy acid (AHA) that helps to remove the dead skin cells on the surface of the skin reveling a more even, smoother complexation. It is also able to stimulate collagen production with long-term use. Could help to reduce pore congestion. It can be irritating to the skin. Apply sunscreen daily if using products with glycolic acid
3 cetearyl alcohol A non-drying alcohol. Works as an emollient. Helps water and oil mix together and creates a nice product texture
4 ceteareth-20 Helps oil and water mix together. Has some emollient properties
5 decyl oleate Helps soften the upper layer of the skin
6 isopropyl palmitate Helps soften the upper layer of the skin and create a thicker product consistency
7 citric acid Can work as an exfoliant but is typically used to adjust the product pH
8 propylene glycol Helps oil and water mix together and can enhance the penetration of other ingredients into the skin
9 isocetyl stearate An emollient that helps soften the skin
10 ammonium hydroxide
11 arginine An amino acid that is naturally present in skin and helps keep it hydrated. When used together with AHAs, it can reduce their irritating effect on the skin
12 isostearic acid Used to create a nice product texture
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 magnesium aluminum silicate Might be helpful in restoring skin barrier function and, when combined with zinc carbonate and malonic acid, reducing fine lines and wrinkles by stimulating elastin production. Also helps stabilize the product formulation
15 dicetyl phosphate
16 ceteth-10 phosphate
17 butyrospermum parkii (shea) butter A great moisturising ingredient that softens the skin and reduces water loss from its upper layer. It also can be helpful in protecting skin from free radicals
18 phenoxyethanol A preservative. It helps prevent bacterial growth in cosmetic products
19 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
20 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
21 xanthan gum Used to create a thicker product consistency
22 disodium edta Stabilizes the product formulation
23 chlorphenesin A preservative
24 methylparaben A preservative
