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.
15 adansonia digitata seed oil
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.
19 aloe barbadensis leaf juice Traditionally used to treat sunburns, dermatitis and inflammation, but evidence for its effectiveness is lacking. The extract can contain humectants that help attract water into the skin
20 yeast extract Helps attract water to the upper layer of the skin and might have some anti-oxidant and skin lightening properties. It can help calm down inflammation in skin
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
22 hydrolyzed vegetable protein pg-propyl silanetriol
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
25 niacin
26 trifolium pratense (clover) flower extract
27 vinegar
28 caprylhydroxamic acid A preservative
29 caprylyl glycol Helps preserve products and creates a nice product texture
