Pos Ingredient Name Description
1 anthemis nobilis (chamomile) flower water
2 kaolin A type of clay that consists mainly of aluminum silicate. Helps absorb oil and creates a thicker product consistency. Can be used to add a white color
3 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
4 cetearyl alcohol A non-drying alcohol. Works as an emollient. Helps water and oil mix together and creates a nice product texture
5 sesamum indicum (sesame) seed oil A good moisturizing plant oil. Due to the high linoleic acid content, it helps soften the upper layer of the skin, reduce water loss and support skin barrier function
6 cetearyl glucoside Helps water and oil in the product mix well together and improves product texture
7 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
8 helianthus annuus (sunflower) seed oil A great emollient due to its high linoleic acid content. One of the most effective plant oils in helping skin hydration and repairing skin barrier function
9 salix nigra (willow) bark extract
10 benzyl alcohol A preservative. Can be used to mask unpleasant smell. Can be irritating
11 oryzanol An anti-oxidant that helps stabilize product formulations. Might help neutralise free radicals in skin
12 salvia officinalis (sage) oil
13 lavandula angustifolia (lavender) oil An essential oil. Potential allergen and can be irritating. It has some anti-bacterial properties
14 , leptospermum scoparium oil, The ingredient is not recognized
15 anthemis nobilis (chamomile) flower oil An essential oil that is used as a fragrance and can be irritating. It might have some anti-oxidant effect in skin
16 linalool A fragrance. Can be irritating
17 limonene A common frangrance that can easily irritate skin, especially if exposed to air, light or heat
18 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
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 calendula officinalis flower extract A plant extract that has some anti-oxidant and anti-bacterial properties. Can be irritating
21 dehydroacetic acid A preservative
22 crataegus oxyacantha stem extract
23 glucose Helps attract water to the upper layer of the skin. Could be helpful in restoring the skin barrier function
24 xanthan gum Used to create a thicker product consistency
25 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)
26 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
