Pos Ingredient Name Description
1 cyclopentasiloxane A silicone that helps improve the product texture and spreadability. Can absord oil creating a short-term mattifying effect on the skin
2 isododecane An emollient that helps soften the skin and can decrease moisture loss. Helps create a nice product texture
3 , l- The ingredient is not recognized
4 ascorbic acid One of the few well researched potent anti-aging ingredients. When it is able to penetrate the skin in an active state, it is effective against fine lines and wrinkles, helps improve skin elasticity and reduce hyperpigmentation. It acts as a powerful anti-oxidant and stimulates collagen production. The main issue with ascorbic acid is that it is highly unstable, in other words, it is losing its effectivenss quickly when exposed to air and light (if a serum or cream containing ascorbic acid has an orange color, it is a likely that the ingredient has oxidized and is no longer active). In addition, it is water-soluble, meaning that it has difficulty pentrating the skin. It is also quite irritating, and can cause stinging. When used in low concentrations, helps stabilize the product formulation
5 ascorbyl tetraisopalmitate
6 hdi/trimethylol hexyllactone crosspolymer Used to create a silky product texture and add volume to products
7 polysilicone-11 A silicone that forms a light film on the skin surface helping to bind water and temporarily absorb oils creating a matt and powdery feel
8 dimethicone/bis-isobutyl ppg20 crosspolymer Helps to create a nice product texture
9 ethylhexyl hydroxystearate Helps soften the upper layer of the skin and reduce water loss from it
10 squalane An oil naturally present in skin. Works as an emollient to soften the skin and form a protective layer on its surface without a greasy feeling.
11 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
12 ubiquinone Coenzyme Q10. It helps neutralize free radicals in skin, improves skin hydration and might be helpful agains fine lines and wrinkles. It can be an allergen
13 bisabolol An active component of chamomile plant that historically has been used to calm down irritated skin. A recent study shows that bisabolol indeed can have some anti-inflammatory effect on skin, even though conclusive data is lacking. Bisabolol has a sweet floral scent and can be added to products for its aromatic properties
14 silica Used to absorb oil and can temporarily mattify skin
