1 | bentonite | Helps stabilize the product formulation |
2 | bis-diglyceryl polyacyladipate-2 | Helps soften the upper layer of the skin and reduce water loss from its surface |
3 | petrolatum | One of the most effective and the most studied occlusive ingredients that creates a protective layer on top of the skin preventing moisture loss |
4 | beeswax | Forms a protective barrier that holds water and keeps dry skin hydrated. Keeps an emulsion from separating into its oil and liquid components, and increases the thickness of a product. Can be an allergen |
5 | ricinus communis (castor) seed oil | A plant oil that can help soften the skin. It might be helpful in calming down inflammation, but solid research is lacking. Is often used in lip products to create the needed product consistency |
6 | hydroxystearic/linolenic/linoleic polyglycerides | |
7 | isopropyl palmitate | Helps soften the upper layer of the skin and create a thicker product consistency |
8 | titanium dioxide (ci 77891 | Works as a UV filter when used in high concentrations. It is photostable and is effective mostly against the UVB light, with some protection in the UVA range. In small concentrations, used for its ability to improve the color of cosmetic products. Is usually well tolerated by the skin |
9 | sesamum indicum (sesame) seed extract | Plant oil that due to its high content of linoleic acid can help support skin's barrier function improving its hydration |
10 | rosa canina (rosehip) fruit oil | A great emollient. Contains vitamin E (tocopherol) which may give it some anti-oxidant properties. Can contain volatile compounds and can be irritating |
11 | butyrospermum parkii (shea) butter | A great moisturising ingredient that softens the skin and reduces water loss from its upper layer. It also can be helpful in protecting skin from free radicals |
12 | olea europaea (olive) oil | An emollient that helps soften the skin but is not effective for restoring its barrier function. Might be helpful to calm down inflammation |
13 | unsaponafiables, | The ingredient is not recognized |
14 | vitis vinifera (grape) seed oil | A great emollient that can have some anti-oxidant properties |
15 | swertia chirata extract | A plant extract that can have an anti-bacterial and anti-inflammatory effect, but evidence of effectiveness is lacking |
16 | lecithin | Used mostly for creating emulsions - helping oil and water mix together. Helps soften the upper layer of the skin |
17 | water | Plain old water |
18 | 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 |
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 | 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 |
21 | glyceryl rosinate | |
22 | dimethyl isosorbide | Used to dissolve other ingredients in a product and can enhance their ability to penetrate the skin |
