Pos Ingredient Name Description
1 aqua Plain old water
2 homosalate A weak sunscreen that offers some protection against the sun rays that cause sunburn (UVB), but does not offer meaningful protection against protect against the most aging sun rays (UVA). It loses its effectiveness quickly when exposed to sunlight. It is an organic, or so called "chemical" sunscreen. When used in low concentrations, helps to stabilize the product formulation
3 octocrylene A weak sunscreen that protects against the sun rays that cause sunburn (UVB) and is somewhat effective against the UVA rays. It is quite stable and can help stabilize other, more vulnerable, sunscreen ingredients like Avobenzone. It is an organic, or so called "chemical" sunscreen
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 butyl methoxydibenzoylmethane Avobenzone. A broad spectrum sunscreen meaning that it can protect against both UVA rays. Currently, it is the only sunscreen ingredient available in the US (approved by the FDA) with the peak absorbance within the UVA I range. It loses its effectiveness quickly when exposed to sunlight. It is an organic, or so called "chemical" sunscreen. When used in low concentrations, helps stabilize the product formulation
6 styrene/acrylates copolymer Used to create an even product consistency. Can help boost efficiency of sunscreen filters
7 alcohol denat. Produces temporary toning effect. Can help dissolve other ingredients or preserve products
8 bis-ethylhexyloxyphenol methoxyphenyl triazine Tinosorb S. One of the most effective broad spectrum sunscreen ingredients. Protects from both UVA and UVB rays. It is photostable. Unfortunately, not approved by FDA (US) yet.
9 caprylyl methicone A type of silicone that helps to soften the upper layer of the skin and create a nice product finish on the skin
10 diisopropyl adipate Helps soften the upper layer of the skin
11 silica Used to absorb oil and can temporarily mattify skin
12 dicaprylyl carbonate Helps products spread more easily and works as an emollient to soften skin
13 glycine soja oil A good emollient that helps soften the skin and helps repair its barrier function
14 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
15 pentylene glycol Used to preserve products, dissolve other ingredients and create a nice product texture
16 linseed acid
17 glyceryl stearate An emollient that softens the skin and forms a protective layer on its surface. Helps water and oil mix together
18 menthyl lactate Used as a fragrance. Can be irritating
19 acrylates/dimethicone copolymer Used to stabilize product formulation, help create an even product layer over skin (for example, in sunscreen), evenly disperse pigements and create a nice product consistency
20 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
21 trideceth-6 Helps oil and water mix together
22 peg-8 laurate Helps oil and water mix together
23 sodium dodecylbenzenesulfonate Helps oil and water mix together
24 acrylates/c10-30 alkyl acrylate crosspolymer Maintains the texture of skincare products. Allows the product to spread evenly. Helps oil and water mix together
25 polyurethane-62
26 disodium edta Stabilizes the product formulation
27 sodium hydroxide Used to adjust the product's pH
28 hydroxyacetophenone Used to increase effectiveness of preservatives
29 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
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 phenoxyethanol A preservative. It helps prevent bacterial growth in cosmetic products
32 parfum An aromatic blend of unspecified irritating ingredients
33 . [pr-018876]. The ingredient is not recognized
