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 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 petrolatum One of the most effective and the most studied occlusive ingredients that creates a protective layer on top of the skin preventing moisture loss
5 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
6 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
7 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
8 phenoxyethanol A preservative. It helps prevent bacterial growth in cosmetic products
9 carbomer Helps create a gel-like product texture. Can be used in gentle cleansing formulations
10 polyglyceryl-4 isostearate Helps water and oil mix together
11 hexyl laurate Helps soften the upper layer of the skin and create a nice product consistency
12 magnesium sulfate Used to create a thicker product consistency
13 tocopheryl acetate A more stable but less bio-available form of vitamin E compared to Tocopherol. Might help moisturize and protect the skin from free radicals, but mostly used in low concentrations to stabilize other ingredients.
14 theobroma cacao (cocoa) seed butter Helps soften the upper layer of the skin and can be helpful in restoring the skin barrier function. Might have some anti-oxidant effect
15 methylparaben A preservative
16 parfum (fragrance An aromatic blend of unspecified irritating ingredients
17 potassium hydroxide Used to adjust the pH level of products
18 ethylparaben A preservative
19 sodium pca Naturally present in skin and helps to attract water to its upper layer
20 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
21 tetrasodium edta Helps to stabilize the product formulation
22 sodium lauroyl lactylate Helps water and oil mix together
23 magnesium pca
24 dipropylene glycol Helps to dissolve other ingredients in a formulation. Slows down the rate of product drying
25 zinc pca A compound that combines zinc with a hydrating ingredient PCA. Might to be helpful against acne and clogged pores. Can help calm down inflammation in skin. Could be helpful in reducing the formation of free radicals in skin. Might help to reduce fine lines in wrinkles, but solid evidence is missing
26 biosaccharide gum-1 Helps attract water to the upper layer of the skin and is claimed to provide a longer-lasting hydration because of its ability to create a water-binding film on the surface of the skin
27 ceramide 3 A type of lipid similar to ceramides naturally present in skin. Helps to soften the upper layer of the skin and supports the skin barrier function to keep it hydrated. Can help to prevent inflammation in skin
28 manganese pca
29 phytosphingosine A type of lipid that is naturally present in skin. It might help in repairing skin barrier function and has anti-bacterial effect
30 ceramide 6 ii A type of lipid similar to ceramides naturally present in skin. Helps to soften the upper layer of the skin and supports the skin barrier function to keep it hydrated. Can help to prevent inflammation in skin
31 cholesterol An emollient that is naturally found in skin
32 xanthan gum Used to create a thicker product consistency
33 potassium sorbate A preservative
34 ethylhexylglycerin A preservative
35 ceramide 1 A type of lipid similar to ceramides naturally present in skin. Helps to soften the upper layer of the skin and supports the skin barrier function to keep it hydrated. Can help to prevent inflammation in skin
