Pos Ingredient Name Description
1 aqua/water/eau Plain old water
2 bis-peg-18 methyl ether dimethyl silane A type of silicone that helps soften the upper layer of the skin and create a nice product texture
3 cyclopentasiloxane A silicone that helps improve the product texture and spreadability. Can absord oil creating a short-term mattifying effect on the skin
4 caprylic/capric triglyceride A good mix of fatty acids that forms a protective layer on the skin. Improves the shelf life of products. Derived from coconut and glycerin
5 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
6 isododecane An emollient that helps soften the skin and can decrease moisture loss. Helps create a nice product texture
7 cyclohexasiloxane A silicone that serves as an emollient. Helps create a nice non-greasy feels
8 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
9 polyacrylamide Used to improve product texture and help oil and water mix together
10 pentylene glycol Used to preserve products, dissolve other ingredients and create a nice product texture
11 phenoxyethanol A preservative. It helps prevent bacterial growth in cosmetic products
12 dimethicone A silicone that helps to reduce water loss from the surface of the skin. Can temporarily "fill in" lines and wrinkles, absorb oil, and create a nice product finish
13 octyldodecyl neopentanoate An emollient that helps soften the skin. Often used to stabilize other ingredients, for example, sunscreen
14 c13-14 isoparaffin Helps soften the upper layer of the skin, dissolve other ingredients and create a thicker product consistency
15 hydrogenated lecithin Helps to retain moisture by creating a protective barrier on the skin. Rich in fatty acids. Improves product texture and helps with the penetration of other ingredients.
16 cetyl alcohol A non-drying alcohol that works to soften the skin and stabilize product formulations helping oil and water mix together
17 methyl gluceth-20 Helps attract water to the upper layer of the skin and soften it
18 polysorbate 80 Helps water and oil mix together
19 bisabolol An active component of chamomile plant that historically has been used to calm down irritated skin. A recent study shows that bisabolol indeed can have some anti-inflammatory effect on skin, even though conclusive data is lacking. Bisabolol has a sweet floral scent and can be added to products for its aromatic properties
20 hydrolyzed soy protein Helps attract water to the upper layer of the skin. Might have some anti-aging, anti-oxidant, and skin lightening properties, but solid evidence is missing
21 ammonium acryloyldimethyltaurate/vp copolymer Increases thickness of a product. Texture enhancer for oil-in-water emulsions
22 carbomer Helps create a gel-like product texture. Can be used in gentle cleansing formulations
23 caffeine Might be helpful in neutralizing free radicals. Can have a dehydration effect that might somewhat decrease the look of puffy eyes
24 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.
25 laureth-7 Helps oil and water mix together
26 parfum/fragrance An aromatic blend of unspecified irritating ingredients
27 sodium hydroxide Used to adjust the product's pH
28 disodium edta Stabilizes the product formulation
29 adenosine Might help improve cell turnover and reduce inflammation in skin. One study shows that the ingredients might be able to stimulate collagen production in skin
30 faex Yeast extract. Helps to attract water to the upper layer of the skin
31 yeast extract/extrait de levure Helps attract water to the upper layer of the skin and might have some anti-oxidant and skin lightening properties. It can help calm down inflammation in skin
32 ectoin Softens the upper layer of the skin and can support skin barrier function
33 o-cymen- 5-ol A preservative
34 benzyl salicylate A fragrance. Is a likely irritant
35 limonene A common frangrance that can easily irritate skin, especially if exposed to air, light or heat
36 glucosyl hesperidin
37 lecithin Used mostly for creating emulsions - helping oil and water mix together. Helps soften the upper layer of the skin
38 alcohol Can be drying and contribute to skin irritation. Used in formulars to dissolve other ingredients, create a thinner product consistency or for its antibacterial properties
39 alteromonas ferment extract A marine extract that helps attract water to the upper layer of the skin. It is claimed to have anti-inflammatory properties but research is lacking
40 , hordeum vulgare/ The ingredient is not recognized
41 hordeum vulgare extract/extrait dorge A plant extract that might have some anti-oxidant properties. Avoid if you are sensitive to gluten
42 bht A preservative
43 camellia sinensis leaf extract Can contain potent anti-oxidant compounds and help protect the skin from free radicals. Can help calm down inflammation and has some anti-bacterial properties
44 coffea arabica (coffee) seed extract Might be helpful in neutralizing free radicals in skin
45 ethylhexylglycerin A preservative
46 pongamia pinnata seed extract
47 citronellol A fragrance. Can be irritating
48 citral A fragrance with a lemon scent. A likely irritant
49 angelica archangelica root extract
50 citrus aurantium amara (bitter orange) peel extract
51 maltodextrin Used to stabilize the product formulation and can help absorb oil
52 rosmarinus officinalis (rosemary) leaf extract Can be helpful in reducing inflammation in skin. Is a likely irritant
53 magnesium aluminum silicate Might be helpful in restoring skin barrier function and, when combined with zinc carbonate and malonic acid, reducing fine lines and wrinkles by stimulating elastin production. Also helps stabilize the product formulation
54 xanthan gum Used to create a thicker product consistency
55 peg-8 Used to create a nice product consistency
56 sorbic acid A preservative
57 farnesol Added to create a nice product smell. Can be irritating
58 caprylyl glycol Helps preserve products and creates a nice product texture
59 citric acid Can work as an exfoliant but is typically used to adjust the product pH
60 sclerotium gum Used to create gel-like formulas and stabilize emulsions
61 tocopherol Pure form of vitamin E. Can help moisturise and protect the skin from free radicals. Often used to help stabilise other ingredients or the formula itself
62 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.
63 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
64 , fd& The ingredient is not recognized
65 c yellow no.
66 yellow no. 5 (ci 19140 A yellow dye
67 fd&c blue no. 1 (ci 42090 A colorant (dye)
