Pos | Ingredient Name | Description |
---|---|---|
1 | aqua (hungarian thermal water | 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 | coco-caprylate/caprate | Helps to soften the upper layer of the skin without creating a greasy texture |
4 | ascorbyl tetraisopalmitate | |
5 | shea butter ethyl esters | Helps soften the upper layer of the skin |
6 | nylon-11 | |
7 | xylitylglucoside | Helps attract water to the upper layer of the skin and repair the skin barrier function |
8 | leuconostoc/radish root ferment filtrate | A preservative that comes from radishes fermented by a bacteria. New research suggests that the preservation properties in the ingredient come from an ammonium salt that is not present naturally in radish root but used in its cultivation. Is problematic because the exact amount of the preservative agents is difficult to determine |
9 | , tri (polyglyceryl-3/lauryl) | The ingredient is not recognized |
10 | hydrogen | |
11 | ated trilinoleate, | The ingredient is not recognized |
12 | saccharomyces (hungarian thermal water) ferment | A product of yeast fermentation. Helps attract water to the upper layer of the skin |
13 | extract, | The ingredient is not recognized |
14 | anhydroxylitol | Helps attract water to the upper layer of the skin and repair the skin barrir function |
15 | dipalmitoyl hydroxyproline | Is claimed to stimulate collagen and elastin production, as well as work as an anti-oxidant. There is however not enough evidence for its effectiveness |
16 | magnesium sulfate | Used to create a thicker product consistency |
17 | algae extract | Plant extract that helps the skin to attract water and make it more smooth for touch. Also shows promise of anti-aging properties, but research is not extensive yet |
18 | propanediol | Acts as a solvent for other ingredients. Speeds up the absorption of other ingredients into the skin |
19 | benzyl alcohol | A preservative. Can be used to mask unpleasant smell. Can be irritating |
20 | lactobacillus | |

22 | oryza sativa (rice) starch | |
23 | cyclodextrin | A type of sugar that is used to support delivery of active ingredients and can enhance their penetration into the skin without disrupting the skin's barrier |
24 | polyglyceryl-3 polyricinoleate | Helps oil and water mix together |
25 | xylitol | Helps attract water to the upper layer of the skin and repair the skin barrier function |
26 | glycogen | Helps attract water to the upper layer of the skin |
27 | arnica montana flower extract | A plant extract that can be irritating. It can have some anti-bacterial properties, but there are no evidence of a beneficial effect for skin |
28 | hyaluronic acid | One of the best moisturizing ingredients. Attracts water into the upper layer of the skin. Naturally present in skin. Typically has large molecule size unless advertised otherwise on the product label. Helps support skin's barrier function and may help to reduce inflammation |
29 | sodium acetylated hyaluronate | A type of hyaluronic acid that works as an excellent moisturizer by attracting water into the upper layer of the skin. Is typically feels less sticky on the skin compared to the usual hyaluronic acid |
30 | 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. |
31 | palmitic acid | An emollient that is naturally present in skin and helps soften it |
32 | cocos nucifera (coconut) fruit extract | An emollient. Found to be as effective as a moisturizer for dry skin as mineral oil. Could be comedogenic |
33 | glucose | Helps attract water to the upper layer of the skin. Could be helpful in restoring the skin barrier function |
34 | sambucus nigra (elderberry) flower extract | A plant extract that might help neutralize free radicals in skin |
35 | polyglyceryl-3 ricinoleate | |
36 | sodium polyglutamate | |

38 | rubus chamaemorus (cloudberry) seed oil | |
39 | pentylene glycol | Used to preserve products, dissolve other ingredients and create a nice product texture |
40 | retinal | One step removed from the biologically active in skin form of vitamin A. Once converted to the retinoic acid in the skin, retinal is proven to be effective against all signs of aging. It improves skin cell turnover, helps fight blemishes and clogged pores, can regulate excess oil production and even skin tone. It can, however, be quite irritating |
41 | bacillus ferment | |
42 | lonicera caprifolium (honeysuckle) flower extract | A plant extract that might help neutralize free radicals in skin. Can contain volalite oils and be irritating |
43 | lonicera japonica (honeysuckle) flower extract | A plant extract that might help neutralize free radicals in skin. Can contain volalite oils and be irritating |
44 | citric acid | Can work as an exfoliant but is typically used to adjust the product pH |
