Pos Ingredient Name Description
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
9 ppg-26-buteth-26 Helps oil and water mix together
10 peg-40 hydrogenated castor oil Helps oil and water mix together
11 tetrasodium glutamate diacetate Helps stabilize the product formulation
12 citric acid Can work as an exfoliant but is typically used to adjust the product pH
13 sodium hydroxide Used to adjust the product's pH
14 benzyl alcohol A preservative. Can be used to mask unpleasant smell. Can be irritating
15 linalool A fragrance. Can be irritating
16 limonene A common frangrance that can easily irritate skin, especially if exposed to air, light or heat
17 parfum An aromatic blend of unspecified irritating ingredients
