1 | aqua | 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 | pentylene glycol | Used to preserve products, dissolve other ingredients and create a nice product texture |
4 | ubiquinone | Coenzyme Q10. It helps neutralize free radicals in skin, improves skin hydration and might be helpful agains fine lines and wrinkles. It can be an allergen |
5 | sodium ascorbyl phosphate | A stable derivative of vitamin C. It is oil-soluble which means it is more likely to penetrate the skin compared to the pure form of vitamin C (which is water-soluble), but it is less bio-available and is way less effective in stimulating collagen and reducing wrinkles compared to the pure form of vitamin C (L-ascorbic acid) and its other derivatives (for example, magnesium ascorbyl phosphate). At the same time, this vitamin C derivative has been shown in studies to be effective in reducing acne, blemishes and clogged pores. It is less irritating then the pure form of vitamin C |
6 | creatine | Can support skin's ability to neutralize free radicals and produce collagen, though further research is needed to confirm effectiveness |
7 | 1-methylhydantoin-2-imide | |
8 | xanthan gum | Used to create a thicker product consistency |
