2 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
3 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
4 sodium chloride Used to stabilize mixtures of oil and water, and create thicker, gel-like product textures
5 dimethicone/peg-10/15 crosspolymer Helps oil and water mix together
6 phenoxyethanol A preservative. It helps prevent bacterial growth in cosmetic products
7 peg-10 dimethicone A silicone that works to soften the upper layer of the skin and reduce its water loss
