Pos Ingredient Name Description
1 aqua (water Plain old water
2 butylene glycol Used to create a nice product texture and help delivery of other ingredients. Might be somewhat helpful in attracting water to the upper layer of the skin
3 peg-40 hydrogenated castor oil Helps oil and water mix together
4 phenoxyethanol A preservative. It helps prevent bacterial growth in cosmetic products
5 benzyl alcohol A preservative. Can be used to mask unpleasant smell. Can be irritating
6 carbomer Helps create a gel-like product texture. Can be used in gentle cleansing formulations
7 mica Creates an illusion of smoother and more radiant skin tone. Adds shimmer to the skin by reflecting light
8 hdi/trimethylol hexyllactone crosspolymer Used to create a silky product texture and add volume to products
9 sodium hydroxide Used to adjust the product's pH
10 buteth-3
11 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
12 parfum (fragrance An aromatic blend of unspecified irritating ingredients
13 macrocystis pyrifera extract
14 sodium benzotriazolyl butylphenol sulfonate
15 hydrolyzed wheat protein Can help attract water to the upper layer of the skin. Avoid if sensitive to gluten
16 disodium edta Stabilizes the product formulation
17 pvp Helps evenly disperse other ingredients in a formulation and create an even layer on the surface of the skin
18 sodium ascorbyl phosphate A stable derivative of vitamin C. It is oil-soluble which means it is more likely to penetrate the skin compared to the pure form of vitamin C (which is water-soluble), but it is less bio-available and is way less effective in stimulating collagen and reducing wrinkles compared to the pure form of vitamin C (L-ascorbic acid) and its other derivatives (for example, magnesium ascorbyl phosphate). At the same time, this vitamin C derivative has been shown in studies to be effective in reducing acne, blemishes and clogged pores. It is less irritating then the pure form of vitamin C
19 ethylhexylglycerin A preservative
20 cyclopentasiloxane A silicone that helps improve the product texture and spreadability. Can absord oil creating a short-term mattifying effect on the skin
21 dehydroacetic acid A preservative
22 propylene glycol Helps oil and water mix together and can enhance the penetration of other ingredients into the skin
23 benzyl salicylate A fragrance. Is a likely irritant
24 ethylhexyl cocoate Helps soften the upper layer of the skin
25 hexyl cinnamal A fragrance with jasmine smell. A likely irritant
26 silica Used to absorb oil and can temporarily mattify skin
27 limonene A common frangrance that can easily irritate skin, especially if exposed to air, light or heat
28 dimethiconol A silicone that makes products more spreadable and keeps skin smooth. Helps to add gloss to skin and may visually fill in fine lines/wrinkles for short time
29 tributyl citrate
30 polymethylsilsesquioxane A silicone that improves product texture and helps dissolve other ingredients. Can form a non-greasy film on the skin to prevent moisture loss
31 citronellol A fragrance. Can be irritating
32 alpha-isomethyl ionone A fragrance. Potential allergen and can be irritating
33 punica granatum (pomegranate) fruit extract
34 dimethylmethoxy chromanyl palmitate
35 quartz A mineral. It does not have any confirmed benefit for the skin
36 diamond powder
37 ci 77891 (titanium dioxide 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.
