Pos Ingredient Name Description
1 aqua/water/eau 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 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
4 acetamide mea
5 hexylene glycol Helps create a more spreadable product texture
6 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
7 scutellaria baicalensis root extract A plant extract that might contain a compound baicalin that could be helpful in neutralizing free radicals and reducing inflammation in skin. The baicalin concentration in skincare products is often too low for an effective action. Can be used for its fragrant properties
8 arginine An amino acid that is naturally present in skin and helps keep it hydrated. When used together with AHAs, it can reduce their irritating effect on the skin
9 glycine soja (soybean) germ extract
10 triticum vulgare (wheat) germ extract Plant extract that might have moisturizing properties. Avoid if you suffer from wheat or gluten intolerance
11 chondrus crispus (irish moss) extract Red algae extract that helps attract water to the upper layer of the skin and create a nicer product consistency
12 retinyl palmitate Three steps removed from the active form of vitamin A - retinoic acid. To have an effect in the skin, it first needs to be converted twice to become the retinoic acid. This means it is less potent than retinol, but could also be less irritating. Once converted to the retinoic acid in the skin, it helps against all signs of aging, improves skin cell turnover and helps fight blemishes and clogged pores. However, in many cosmetic formulations, it is used in a concentration that is too low to have the full effect
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 ascorbyl palmitate Being a lipid soluble form of vitamin C, it is more stable and can penetrate the skin better than L-Ascorbic acid. It is effective in protecting the skin from free radicals, as well as evening the skin tone, but is less effective in stimulating collagen production compared to L-Ascorbic acid.
15 simmondsia chinensis (jojoba) seed oil Softens the upper layer of skin and helps restore the healthy skin barrier. Has shown to help calm down inflammation in skin. It is a stable oil, meaning that it retains its properties even when exposed to air.
16 hydrolyzed rice protein Helps attract water to the upper layer of the skin. Might have some anti-oxidant properties
17 hydrolyzed yeast protein
18 sodium hyaluronate One of the best moisturizing ingredients. Attracts water into the upper layer of the skin
19 rosa canina fruit (rose hips) extract A plant extract that might have some anti-oxidant properties, but evidence is lacking

21 arctium lappa (burdock)root extract Plant extract. Has some anti-microbial and anti-oxidant properties. Can be irritating
22 chamomilla recutita (matricaria) flower extract Plant extract that can have healing and anti-inflammatory properties. It is a potential allergen and can be irritating
23 acacia concinna (shikaki) fruit extract
24 potassium sorbate A preservative
25 calcium gluconate Helps attract water to the upper layer of the skin and helps to improve appearance of the product
26 oryza sativa (rice) extract A grain extract that helps to create a thicker product consistency. It might have some anti-oxidant properties and help attract water to the upper layer of the skin
27 glycine max (soybean) seed extract
28 daucus carota sativa (carrot) root extract
29 chenopodium quinoa seed extract
30 panax ginseng root extract A plant extract that might have some anti-inflammatory properties, but solid evidence is lacking. It can be irritating
31 ppg-26-buteth-26 Helps oil and water mix together
32 peg-40 hydrogenated castor oil Helps oil and water mix together
33 carbomer Helps create a gel-like product texture. Can be used in gentle cleansing formulations
34 propanediol Acts as a solvent for other ingredients. Speeds up the absorption of other ingredients into the skin
35 aminomethyl propanol Used to adjust the pH in formulations
36 panthenol Helps attract water to the upper layer of the skin and can help improve skin barrier function
37 ethylhexylglycerin A preservative
38 cellulose Can be used to help absorb oil as well as add volume and imporve texture of products.
39 lactose
40 mannitol Helps to attract water to the upper layer of the skin
41 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)
42 disodium edta Stabilizes the product formulation
43 hydroxypropyl methylcellulose Used to create a thicker product consistency and stabilize the formulation
44 gluconolactone A polyhydroxy acid (PHA) that helps shed the dead cells from the skin surface revealing smoother skin. Is believed to be genter than AHAs. It helps attract water to the upper layer of the skin and can stimulate production of skin's own hyaluronic acid resulting inimporved hydration levels. It has been shown to be helpful against acne and clogged pores. Might help reduce fine lines and wrinkles and improve skin tone with long-term application. Can help neutralize free radicals
45 sodium benzoate A preservative
46 silica Used to absorb oil and can temporarily mattify skin
47 polyvinyl alcohol
