Pos Ingredient Name Description
1 avobenzone 3% 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
2 octisalate 5% Octisalate. A UV filter. It offers some protection against the sun rays that cause sunburn (UVB), but does not 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
3 octocrylene 7% 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 water Plain old water
5 isopropyl lauroyl sarcosinate Helps soften the upper layer of the skin and create a nice product consistency
6 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
7 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
8 diisopropyl sebacate Helps soften the upper layer of the skin without creatng a greasy finish
9 polymethyl methacrylate Is used to enhance product texture and can help to optically mask skin imperfections
10 aluminum starch octenylsuccinate Used to thicken the product's consistency
11 sucrose tristearate Helps oil and water mix together
12 silica Used to absorb oil and can temporarily mattify skin
13 pentylene glycol Used to preserve products, dissolve other ingredients and create a nice product texture
14 polysorbate 61 Helps oil and water mix together
15 dimethiconol A silicone that makes products more spreadable and keeps skin smooth. Helps to add gloss to skin and may visually fill in fine lines/wrinkles for short time
16 sodium stearoyl glutamate Helps oil and water mix together
17 phenoxyethanol A preservative. It helps prevent bacterial growth in cosmetic products
18 caprylyl glycol Helps preserve products and creates a nice product texture
19 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.
20 glycyrrhetinic acid Active compound of licorice root. Works to calm down inflammation, as an anti-oxidant, and might be helpful in lightening the skin and reducing hyperpigmentation
21 panthenol Helps attract water to the upper layer of the skin and can help improve skin barrier function
22 triethanolamine Used to adjust pH of the product and can help improve the product's smell
23 allantoin Helps calm down inflammation in skin and can help reduce itching. Helps to repair the skin barrier and keep skin hydrated
24 carbomer Helps create a gel-like product texture. Can be used in gentle cleansing formulations
25 potassium sorbate A preservative
26 zinc gluconate Typically used to stabilize the product formulations. It is a salt of a polyhydroxy acid (PHA) and in larger concentrations, can help shed the dead cells from the skin surface revealing smoother skin. It can help attract water to the upper layer of the skin. Might to be helpful against acne and clogged pores. Could be helpful in neutralizing free radicals, but solid research is missing. Due to the zinc content, might help calm down inflammation in skin
27 xanthan gum Used to create a thicker product consistency
28 disodium edta Stabilizes the product formulation
29 hydroxypalmitoyl sphinganine A type of lipid similar to ceramides naturally present in skin. Helps to soften the upper layer of the skin and supports the skin barrier function to keep it hydrated. Can help to prevent inflammation in skin
