Pos Ingredient Name Description
1 water, eau Plain old water
2 caprylic/capric triglyceride A good mix of fatty acids that forms a protective layer on the skin. Improves the shelf life of products. Derived from coconut and glycerin
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 olus oil An oil from a mixture of different vegetables. Helps soften the upper layer of the skin
5 butyrospermum parkii (shea) butter extract 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
6 cetyl lactate
7 propanediol Acts as a solvent for other ingredients. Speeds up the absorption of other ingredients into the skin
8 caprylyl caprylate/caprate
9 c12-16 alcohols
10 jojoba oil/macadamia seed oil esters
11 glyceryl stearate citrate Helps oil and water mix together while softening the upper layer of the skin
12 palmitic acid An emollient that is naturally present in skin and helps soften it
13 hydrogenated lecithin Helps to retain moisture by creating a protective barrier on the skin. Rich in fatty acids. Improves product texture and helps with the penetration of other ingredients.
14 ophiopogon japonicus root extract Plant extract that might help neutralize free radicals and support skin barrier function, but research on its effectiveness in skin is lacking
15 tocopherol Pure form of vitamin E. Can help moisturise and protect the skin from free radicals. Often used to help stabilise other ingredients or the formula itself
16 sodium hyaluronate One of the best moisturizing ingredients. Attracts water into the upper layer of the skin
17 rosmarinus officinalis (rosemary) leaf extract Can be helpful in reducing inflammation in skin. Is a likely irritant
18 helianthus annuus (sunflower) extract
19 phytosteryl macadamiate Helps soften the upper layer of the skin
20 phytosterols Lipids that work as an emollient and can be helpful in repairing skin barrier function
21 squalene An oil that is naturally part of skin sebum that helps to soften its upper layer, reduce water loss and neutralize free radicals. It might be comedogenic. Avoid applying large concentrations (or pure oil) before sun exposure as oxidized squalene can clog pores and lead to skin irritation. Today squalene is mostly derived from vegetable oils or synthetized by yeast
22 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
23 oryza sativa (rice) bran extract Used to thicken the product consistency
24 phytosteryl canola glycerides Helps soften the upper layer of the skin
25 glycine soja (soybean) seed extract An emollient that helps soften the skin. Might be somewhat helpful in evening the skin tone.
26 pentylene glycol Used to preserve products, dissolve other ingredients and create a nice product texture
27 hydrolyzed rice protein Helps attract water to the upper layer of the skin. Might have some anti-oxidant properties
28 hydrogenated vegetable oil An oil from a mixture of different vegetables. Helps soften the upper layer of the skin
29 chondrus crispus extract Red algae extract that helps attract water to the upper layer of the skin and create a nicer product consistency
30 dilinoleic acid/propanediol copolymer
31 ethylhexylglycerin A preservative
32 phenoxyethanol A preservative. It helps prevent bacterial growth in cosmetic products
33 potassium sorbate A preservative
34 trisodium ethylenediamine disuccinate Used to improve stability of the formulation
35 citric acid Can work as an exfoliant but is typically used to adjust the product pH
36 gluconolactone A polyhydroxy acid (PHA) that helps shed the dead cells from the skin surface revealing smoother skin. Is believed to be genter than AHAs. It helps attract water to the upper layer of the skin and can stimulate production of skin's own hyaluronic acid resulting inimporved hydration levels. It has been shown to be helpful against acne and clogged pores. Might help reduce fine lines and wrinkles and improve skin tone with long-term application. Can help neutralize free radicals
37 sodium benzoate A preservative
38 xanthan gum Used to create a thicker product consistency
