Pos Ingredient Name Description
1 aqua Plain old water
2 sodium lauroamphoacetate
3 hydrated silica
4 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
5 sorbitol Helps attract water to the upper layer of the skin and improves the product texture
6 peg-200 hydrogenated glyceryl palmate
7 sodium myristoyl sarcosinate
8 acrylates copolymer Used to stabilize product formulation, help create an even product layer over skin (for example, in sunscreen) and create a thicker product consistency
9 sodium trideceth sulfate
10 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.
11 niacinamide Is proven to be effective in reducing blemishes, evening out skin tone and helping to improve lines and wrinkles. It helps the skin to repair sun damage, calm down inflammation and keep maintain good levels of moisture
12 panthenol Helps attract water to the upper layer of the skin and can help improve skin barrier function
13 ascorbic acid One of the few well researched potent anti-aging ingredients. When it is able to penetrate the skin in an active state, it is effective against fine lines and wrinkles, helps improve skin elasticity and reduce hyperpigmentation. It acts as a powerful anti-oxidant and stimulates collagen production. The main issue with ascorbic acid is that it is highly unstable, in other words, it is losing its effectivenss quickly when exposed to air and light (if a serum or cream containing ascorbic acid has an orange color, it is a likely that the ingredient has oxidized and is no longer active). In addition, it is water-soluble, meaning that it has difficulty pentrating the skin. It is also quite irritating, and can cause stinging. When used in low concentrations, helps stabilize the product formulation
14 salicylic acid Used for skin exfoliation. It has an anti-inflammatory and anti-bacterial effect, helps to unclog pores, prevent blemishes and speed up healing of the existing ones. Sometimes referred to as a BHA (beta-hydroxy acid)
15 rubus idaeus fruit extract A fruit extract that might have some anti-oxidant properties but evidence of effectiveness in skin is lacking
16 fragaria chiloensis fruit extract
17 serica extract
18 zea mays silk extract
19 bht A preservative
20 peg-100
21 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
22 propylene glycol Helps oil and water mix together and can enhance the penetration of other ingredients into the skin
23 peg-7 glyceryl cocoate
24 glycol distearate Helps water and oil mix together
25 laureth-10
26 trideceth-3
27 cocamide mea
28 magnesium nitrate
29 disodium edta Stabilizes the product formulation
30 tetrasodium edta Helps to stabilize the product formulation
31 sodium sulfate Used to improve the product consistency and stabilize formulations
32 sodium chloride Used to stabilize mixtures of oil and water, and create thicker, gel-like product textures
33 magnesium chloride
34 citric acid Can work as an exfoliant but is typically used to adjust the product pH
35 lactic acid An exfoliating and moisturizing alpha-hydroxy acid (AHA). Typically causes less irritation than other AHAs, for example, glycolic acid. At high concentrations (about 15%), lactic acid can help reduce lines and wrinkles. Recent studies show that lactic acid can support the "good" bacteria living on skin's surface (healthy skin microbiom)
36 sodium laureth sulfate
37 lauric acid Helps water and oil mix together. Has anti-bacterial properties that might be helpful in preventing blemishes
38 polyquaternium-10 Helps soften the upper layer of the skin and create a nice product finish
39 methylchloroisothiazolinone
40 methylisothiazolinone A preservative. Is a frequent allergen
41 parfum An aromatic blend of unspecified irritating ingredients
42 hexyl cinnamal A fragrance with jasmine smell. A likely irritant
43 ci 17200 A red colorant
44 ci 19140 A yellow dye
