ricinus communis seed oil	HIGH
cetyl alcohol	HIGH
butyrospermum parkii butter	HIGH

Pos	Ingredient Name	Description
1	water	Plain old water
2	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
3	stearyl alcohol	An emollient that helps soften the skin
4	cetyl alcohol	A non-drying alcohol that works to soften the skin and stabilize product formulations helping oil and water mix together
5	behenalkonium chloride	Helps water and oil mix together and works as a cleansing agent (detergent). Can be irritating
6	fragrance	An aromatic blend of unspecified irritating ingredients
7	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
8	( ) (fair trade ),	The ingredient is not recognized
9	cocos nucifera (coconut) oil	An emollient. Found to be as effective as a moisturizer for dry skin as mineral oil. Could be comedogenic
10	panthenol	Helps attract water to the upper layer of the skin and can help improve skin barrier function
11	dicaprylyl ether	Helps soften the upper layer of the skin while creating a non-greasy feel on the skin. Helps to dissolve other ingredients
12	hydroxyethylcellulose	Used to thicken product formulations and create gel-like textures
13	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
14	simmondsia chinensis (jojoba) seed oil	Softens the upper layer of skin and helps restore the healthy skin barrier. Has shown to help calm down inflammation in skin. It is a stable oil, meaning that it retains its properties even when exposed to air.

16	hydrolyzed keratin
17	mauritia flexuosa fruit oil	Helps soften the upper layer of the skin
18	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.

21	macadamia ternifolia seed oil	Plant oil from nuts that helps soften the upper layer of the skin. Contains a high concentration of oleic acid that can weaken skin's barrier function and increase water-loss while enhancing penetration of other ingredients

23	mentha piperita (peppermint) leaf extract	Used as a fragrance and can be irritating
24	hydrolyzed rice protein	Helps attract water to the upper layer of the skin. Might have some anti-oxidant properties
