What's in this jar?

Summary

Yes. Has good ingredients to attract water to the skin. But: it can't help seal in the moisture and reduce water loss over time, so you might want to use an additional product with good emollient ingredients (like oils, butters, or silicones)

Pos	Ingredient Name	Description
1	water	Plain old water
2	, human fibroblast conditioned media,	The ingredient is not recognized
3	polysorbate 20	Helps oil and water mix together
4	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
5	xanthan gum	Used to create a thicker product consistency
6	tetrahexyldecyl ascorbate	Being a lipid soluble form of vitamin C, it is more stable. It is claimed to penetrate skin better than pure vitamin C and have the the similar benefits, but solid studies of its effectiveness are lacking. Is likely to require a higher concentration in a product than pure vitamin C to be effective.
7	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.
8	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)
9	citrus aurantium dulcis peel oil	An essentil oil from orange peel. Potential allergen and can be irritating
10	, citrus medica limonum peel lemon oil,	The ingredient is not recognized
11	phenoxylethanol	A preservative. It helps prevent bacterial growth in cosmetic products
12	1,2 hexanediol	A preservative
13	caprylyl glycol	Helps preserve products and creates a nice product texture
